It is the week before Christmas in a very busy house which is full of over excited children, hoovers needing to be mended, visitors prepared for, a mad dog to take for a walk and a million annoying jobs to catch up on. The lovely Mr oldpolicehouse who is calmness and kindness personified agreed to the idea that we needed to brighten up our house and it had to be this week.
Life has been busy since we moved in three years ago and we have never found the time to decorate the living room. Having just had several large bills (just what we needed at this time of the year) we needed to be a frugal as possible in our attempt to cheer up the house.
Hunting in the garage we found an almost used up pot of paint, my absolute favourite colour and one which I knew would look fantastic on the chimney breast. It took about half an hour to paint and looks so fantastic we had to have a big clear up in honour of the gorgeous wall. I am very tempted to rewrap all of the old toys discarded behind the sofa but unfortunately they will probably realise that now!
Sexy Pink Paint you have made me very happy but not as happy as the wonderful man who I share my life with!
Hello Grace,
ReplyDeleteYour wall looks beautiful, I love the colour! And what a lovely husband you have. Merry Christmas, two more sleeps!
