I've spent the last 6 days decorating my living room and have come to the conclusion that decorating sucks! One coat gloss actually requires 3 coats to cover the gross orangy pink colour woodwork the last owners used, and if I have to paint anymore magnolia I'm gonna go snow blind!!!!
Yesterday I painted the chimney breast ocean blue, absolutely gorgeous colour, and cleaned up all my mess. My other half had to cut in around the celing cos I'm scared of heights and wouldn't get on the step ladder. Quite a smart move cos when he got on it, it buckled (it was up right but the metal actually bent!) and he catapulted ocean blue vinyl emulsion all over the cream walls and curtains, we thought we were safe with the curtains cos they're nowhere near the wall we were finishing off. Luckily he was okay.
I can laugh about it now, but last night it was not a laughing matter! We've just finished clean up and re-painting and the carpet is being laid tomorrow..... I just hope it goes without a hitch (I bet they turn up with luminous pink carpet or something!).
Anyone else had decorating disasters???
