Why, why, why...

does painting a room take soooooo long...
I went to B and Q on a whim, got my paint, and went home and started.....
so far, 3 hours Saturday, 10 hours yesterday and 3.5 hours today, and still a lot more to do.

The walls and ceiling have taken 3 coats so far, that should be enough for the walls, but the ceiling is looking patchy.....

You will be able to recognise me if you see me in the street, my head is sitting back cricked onto my shoulders, and I still have another coat to go.

But the colours are fab and I can't wait to get my curtains up. This is all because I read a blog, ended up in Ikea and felt a little inspired.

Photos will follow.

Oh, I know where you're coming from! There's been a lot of painting going on around here lately too. And I'm alone with that job. Apparently P thinks that if I want something painted and it does not tecnically need a new coat of paint, I have to do it all by myself...
Can't wait to see pictures.
