Whoop one step closer

Gaz whipped out the paint brush and attempted to finish the lounge window sill we started a million years ago.

Lounge ceiling filled & painted

Getting there with the lounge. The spare room is packed full of all our furniture while we finish painting the ceiling, walls, window frames and fireplace in the lounge. As always.. its taken longer than hoped, but getting there.

The ceiling required re-screwing up, scraping back any cracks, bogging it all up and then two coats of paint. This weekend we managed to get the final coat of paint on... and it looks nice and fresh. Ceilings are never something i have paid any attention to before... but once you start painting you realise how dirty and fly spotty the old ceiling must have been! Best not even to look up in our other rooms! haha.

Lounge paintage

You may have just had a sneak preview of the new lounge paint in the previous post.. but it does really deserve its own story.

We spent the weekend re-gluing the seams of our horrid pink wall paper which i want to spew at. Made it alot better all fixed down though, never going to be perfect but at least we could paint it now.

So last night the paintbrush and roller came out to play. Turns out climbing a ladder is getting more and more difficult with a belly in the way. But anyway.. we painted the crap out of the spew pink and wholey crap its looks good even with seams and the odd mark.. just going to pretend they aren't there.

See for yourself!
