Upstairs bedroom is now painted! Rather than a nice but now rather shabby purple it is now yellow. I chose the yellow, a bathroom paint from Wicks called Summer and both Dot and Hoof profess to love it, but I'm not sure I do. Certainly it looks better under natural light than electric and in future I'll pay the extra and get Dulux, their colours seem better suited to my eyes somehow but it's mold resistant so it if lives up to those claims it will be worth every penny.
It dried quickly too, Papacrow finished the second coat off while we were at a birthday party and we moved all the toy boxes up after dinner. Books to sort tomorrow but they'll all be divided up differently- Dot and Hoof have a bookcase each now and Petal has her own shelves so they can all grab what they want and I'll divvy up the rest.
The birthday party was a lot of fun, another home edder so the usual crew and we all had a good old chat. It was Hawaiian themed and the organising mum had put a lot of thought and effort into it. It was perfect for a grey, rainy day- a real splash of sun and fun. Plus I won the adult's towel surfing, go me!
Sounds like you packed in a lot more than I did! Well done :)
ReplyDeletePapacrow did most of it and the three eldest helped a lot- I took the younger lot places and I did do a little painting too but oof, I'm exhausted this morning!
