Everything crossed for your boy Katy, I am sure he will be fine, it's a pain when they have to study subjects they find difficult.

Freddie, that's the prob with renos, you do one thing and it makes everything else look "daggy"

Pimpy, I know the feeling re choosing colours, I have little swatches stuck every where, trying to decide what I like, far too many choices these days.

Pimpy, if I decided to go it myself I would need to send Mr F away for a week. No way would we still be living under the same roof if it was WE will paint.

Not a lot acheived here today, I am still battling this virus, will give it a cpl more days, if ther eis no improvement then back to the doc I think.    Hubs cooked a lovely roast chicken with heaps of roast veggies, which I throughly enjoyed 🙂  The weather here has been foul, so far better to stay indoor and rest..

Sounds like it "safer" to empoly a painter Freddie lol   .... Have you decided on colours?, there so many choices around these days.  

Hi Bushy i'm open to suggestions lol it's the white ceiling creamy walls woodgrain skirting boards and widows of the late eighty's at the moment.

No I like the look of the timber, I have given the window sill in the kitchen a brighten up with some scadinavian oil it came up well.

My suggestion is to get a whole pile of colour swatches in the colours you are considering, pin them onto the wall and leave them there for a week or so. I found this worked for me and it gives you a better idea how the colour will look in the day/night.  I am no expert but I have found this is/has worked for me.

I couldn't do that, I chose and get it done NOW............. That's why I hate Mr F's tape measure. He measures walks away comes back measures again walks away and forgets what the measurement was comes back Aggggggggggggggg Just do it and move on to the next job.

I bookmarked that site, I will have a look later....I have 2 guys coming tomorrow to quote.
