decorating

The weekend saw a flourish of decorating. The Husband decided that Friday night he was going to wash the walls down in the little bedroom ready for him to paint coat 1 on Saturday and coat 2 on Sunday. He washed the walls down and we found ourselves painting coat 1 on Friday night. Saturday morning saw a swim (for me) and a trip to B and Q (for him) Followed by coat 2. This done we decided we could maybe tackle the woodwork in same room. So Sunday morning before church it was sanded and after church it had its first coat. Feeling ourselves to be on a bit of a roll we decided to also tackle the bathroom. This involved stripping the wallpaper first. So The Husband did this, then washed the walls down. This took longer than first thought. We had a big sit down, felt too tired and decided to leave the paint until this morning. However, our thoughts were all changed after some donut consumption. I felt the need for cake, and we had none in the house. A little walk to a local supermarket found us purchasing and consuming donuts. The imbiding of this sweet treat gave the energy to do a little more, and so the first coat of paint was applied to the walls Sunday night. A second coat shall be put on this afternoon, and the bathroom will be complete. The second coat of gloss in the little room shall wait until Tuesday (this will be my job and however well I feel I have to ensure I don't overdo it). Then we have two more rooms complete. The downstairs toilet/sink is being replaced as I type, a new built in cupboard is being created next week, and the week after the hall stairs and landing and door frames are being painted. This will just leave us with carpet to buy and two bedrooms to tackle. Oh and the garden. But we are not even going to think about that until spring time.
