Well, that's another holiday week just whooshed by!! But I've packed a lot in. As well as hours and hours of painting(!!) I've visted my parents, spent an afternoon with my eldest son shopping for house stuff and met up with an old colleague/dear friend for supper. I feel quite sociable!
My peach bedroom is now pristine white. It took 4 coats of matt white to cover it up. It's got a few wee bits that need to be touched up but nothing major. I've still got all the woodwork to do so that's today's job.
I had a tin of mystery paint in the garage that I got on the bargain shelf ages ago. It had a label that said "customer return." I couldn't even remember what colour it was as it was one of those Dulux mix to order paints. Imagine my delight when I opened it up to find it was bright red or Brothel Red as I've been calling it!! 😂 So instead of wallpapering the inside of my wardrobe, I painted it red. It took 3 coats!!! I love it 😍 I've still got a few 'finishing touches' to add to it 😉
Emma has loved me being at home this week. As much as I could, I've taken her with me everywhere. She's such a good girl. It's hard to believe she's almost 7!! She's still just a big puppy at heart 💓
Wow its looking great! The last time I had red in my room was when I was a teenogre (way back when dinosaurs roamed the land) My parents were horrified that I wanted red walls in my bedroom! I loved it but now most of our walls are creamy white but there are lots of touches of colour - I do like some colour! Sounds like you had a nice week. x
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I was never allowed to paint my room. Yes, it's been a nice week :-)
DeleteLove that wardrobe :)
ReplyDeleteMe too!! Lol!
DeleteThat was a lot of painting so I’m glad to hear you had some fun time too. I love a splash of red-I’m sitting looking at my wee red tub chair as I type. Lookin forward to seeing it all back together and how you are adding your little touches of colour.
ReplyDeleteThe chrome sockets and light switch are now installed. Just need to get the carpet sorted out tomorrow
DeleteIt all looks and sounds really lovely...
ReplyDeleteThanks, not much left to do except the carpet
DeleteLove the 'brothel red' interior of your wardrobe, it will make you smile every time you open the doors 😊
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm ridiculously happy with it!!
