Ho hum...


We have been 'going to find the time' to carry on with the bedroom re-decorating, for over a year now
and finally now that summer has warped into autumn its time to do just that!
I am not keen on this stage.
I am more into searching for inspiration on Pinterest and planning what we need and where to get it from on a thrifty budget!!! I cannot decide on colours since in this house I favour the reds and greens, and am absolutely in love with one duvet set by Joules!! I am being practical about what we have and how it can be re-used - on one condition: the bedroom set GOES!!! I am so over it!
I have saved a pair of curtains that last hung in my house in Yorkshire about 18 years ago - I made them with material from Ikea and have just always loved them. I refuse to cut the length, in case I can use them somewhere else in the future, but they are the right width for this window I suspect. They have not faded and are as good as ever, so you never know; perhaps this time I will actually agree to hang them!
The walls are awful. I suppose they ought to be re-plastered but no time to do that and no skill either. So we will use the super-sticking strange wallpaper that ends up just giving a structured look to the walls. That way I can paint it and know that others who live here in the future can change it easily.
As you can see, I am 'resting' from the work. My knees are not able to stand long stretches of kneeling on them y'see, so all legit excuses. Hmmmm......
time to do a tad more before lunch break!!!
