Renovating 3rd bedroom

We had our 2 older grand daughters and their mother for a few days in August and the elder one begged us for a separate room from her sister and mother because they snored so much. She wanted to sleep on the settees but as these are rapidly deteriorating (saggy seats) we were reluctant. Our third bedroom is used as s study/computer room and literally we just dumped stuff in there 3 years ago and have not moved a thing since.  Quick clean up and we put the camp bed in there for her.  

Having done that, we realized it was quite a big room and the built in shelves may have suited a previous owner were not helping our storage needs.  As it was forecast to rain most of this week we made a deal which was - as long as the wall paper  (embossed with glossy vinyl beige paint - yuk) was not damaged and could just have a coat of emulsion over and no money was spent on wood my husband could renovate as he uses this room far more than me.  I would assist as much as possible. We can probably find £25 for this updating - not much money to spare as our dentist wants about £80 to re-do some of our fillings and we need to think about winter fuel soon.

Once the shelves were carefully deconstructed, the husband puzzled out a plan reusing the wood and some bits from his store.  

There are also existing shelves running round the room.  These too may be re-purposed.; probably without the large metal "struts". 

As you can just see the main painting problem will be the brown stencil pattern running round the room.  We have a small amount of white emulsion left over which I think I will use up "killing" that off before we find some money for fresh paint.  I mistakenly encouraged him to join me watching "Celebrity Money for Nothing" the other rainy afternoon and he is channeling his inner Jay Blade now and suggesting line green walls and highlights of primary colours.   I suppose its beats the dull, dingy beige.

Hope the kids are not thinking of coming here for half term as I can't see this project being completed all that quickly as traipsing up and down stairs and right through house and down the garden to the shed for tools and sawing wood adds to the job.
