Housinge

Latest report from the Solicitor is that the extension and the pergola out the back were all done with propper council planning and approval. Which is nice.

Settlement on 25/2. All we have to do is paint the purple room and the pink room a beige off-whiteish colour.

A blue-grey tint, like that on the face of the bespectacled flying fox in your icon, is a perfect wall colour for displaying artwork. 8-)

beige is boring

purple is pretty

ping gets no argument though

Dulux paints, Hog's Bristle 1/4 strength for walls and half or full strength for architraves, skirting boards and doors.

We, of course, did this the wrong way round. We moved in, and then Debbie decided she wanted the whole house painting. So far I've managed the master bedroom, the hallway, the bathroom and the toilet.

The master bedroom has a feature wall that is purple.

This is all a vast improvement from the previous owner's slack job of painting all the walls blue, and leaving the architraves etc still in 70s "mission brown", although the mission brown hides a multitude of sins in as far as poor joinery, bad surfaces and warped timber is concerned.
