Deja Vu decorating

The last time my living room was properly decorated was 7 years ago.  I was pregnant when I chose the wallpaper and within a few years I hated it.  Hubbie stripped it about 18 months ago and we bought new wallpaper.  Have had a real hassle getting a decorator though - finally got one booked in a few months ago but had to have to wait until today for him to start work.
