Wish I hadn’t Started This IV

Update on the 'snug' as we're now calling it. All walls are now clear of wallpaper, have been throroughly 'sugar soaped' by Carole and we've (well Carole has) decided on the colour (Aged Parchment) - so a light grey then 🤷‍♂️.

New curtains have been ordered, should arrive today; new curtain rod (metal, replacing the very dated wooden one) has been procured and fitted (using existing holes) to the wall, so we'll see later today if I need to get the drill out and put new holes in (I do hope not). The "Blind man" is coming this afternoon for the kitchen window (there's a joke about that somewhere) to measure up for fitting a roller blind.

Will be kicking off the painting of the ceiling this weekend (that magic pink paint so you can see where you've been that dries white (ingenious)) so there won't be much to show for a while.

Thanks for dropping by
Oh wow! Coming right along!

Good work, can’t wait for the end result. ( I’m sure you know, smart choice to have Carol picked the color 😉.)

For a moment I thought that you already did the ceiling......good luck!

Looking ready for that paint now... great progress.

When done I think it looks like a beautiful cozy place. It’s fun following the progress from a distance.

Looks like a lovely light room with a view to the ..... garden?

I can't believe you can do this with all that furniture in there!
February 26th, 2021  
Yea - two big steps completed!
February 26th, 2021  
It will be finished before you know it.

Getting there...

Oh - that's a lot of work!
February 27th, 2021  
It will be so nice.

@koalagardens Neither do I 😜

Oh good luck! It is a lot more work to go lighter on a shade. I am a sneaky person and tend to go slightly darker to make it need less coats!

Looks like a fun, if not challenging, project!

@casablanca The new 'grey' on the green shouldn't be a problem, but you're correct, the 'grey' on the blue may need more than a couple of coats (I've got 7.5L of it, so hopefully that'll be enough, Time will tell whether it'll need another trip to B&Q ...............
