I have been keeping myself busy at work long arming and doing some tuition, as well as making teas and coffees for people on courses. In the evenings I put on my DIY dungarees and have been continuing to tart up the cottage. I am slightly dreading moving my belongings in because they will just clutter the place up.
I was meant to meet Mel from Looe and visit a Christmas Fair in Fowey but the weather was stormy so I had a 3-day DIY weekend instead. I painted just about everything I could see. The back bedroom is finished and totally empty at present. The kitchen was far easier as it has flat walls. It was not bad to begin with but as soon as I started slapping on white paint over cream it looked so much fresher. I put up a lobster poster, simply because the colours were right. I am considering Delft style tile stickers to make it more cottagey.
I got myself a very basic drill and added knobs to the old dresser. Maybe I will attempt shelves, after checking for cables and pipes;)
White paint is all very well but I am craving some colour so I got a tin of Arsenic green and want to do one wall in the sitting room. I can always paint over it when I move out. Obviously, I don’t have to paint the whole house before Christmas but it is so much easier when it is half empty!
