Happy Happy Monday...

Hi folks...the beginning of another week...the painting gremlins have left the building with their tails between their legs...thanks for all your "been there...done it" comments yesterday....pity I didn't ask your advice before jumping in or read all the bad reviews for that particular waste of time product on the B&Q website but hey ho you live and learn...the Crown bad boy has been ceremoniously dumped in the bin and said door is now looking all sparkly and glossy after a coat of "does what it says in the tin" proper paint and we're in a Happy Happy Monday mood...
I know I'm a bit of a perfectionist/second best just won't do...as my old dad used to say..."if a job's worth doing...it's worth doing well" which brings me on to the dilemma of the colour on the walls...thank you for all your advice folks...I did take it on board and then proceeded to completely ignore it...oops...sorry but the cream colour was just too yellow for my liking and if I don't like it now...I suspect that a few month's down the line it will be doing my head in and that's not a job I want to add to the list in the run up to Christmas...so I made another trip to B&Q...fast becoming a "get there with my eyes closed" automatic pilot destination and headed straight for the Dulux counter for a great big can of...
my favourite emulsion...a little bit more expensive but worth every penny...it's as tough as old boots and with a Furry Companion who loves to harl the walls with muddy splatters...it's got to be washable...not wipeable come off on the cloth washable but time and time again scrubbable washable and I love the colour...
I'm in still at the two tone room stage but I can definitely see the wood for the trees now so it's ever onward in this mad DIY quest...the grandkiddies are coming tomorrow for a sleep over so if that's not an incentive to get cracking and get it finished I don't know what is.  2 paint free days having fun and letting loose my inner child sounds good to me.
See you all tomorrow
