Painting

I spent most of today painting my living room. I have painted it Gentle Fawn and the chimney breast is Soft Truffle. It needs another coat tomorrow but is finally feeling like I'm getting somewhere. Before I paint the second coat, I am going off to buy the paint for my bedroom (Blue Babe) and for my stairs and passageway (Magnolia). Yeah I know magnolia but need something fairly light and cheap, as its only gonna be temporary until I get around to stripping the walls on the stairs and knocking the bumps off the walls.

I'm also looking at laminate flooring as well, hopefully buy it next week and start fitting it next Saturday.

My parents have been plastering my dining room today, they haven't finished yet, should be finished on Monday (Dad is walking on Sunday).

Nigel has just about finished the bathroom walls, he grouted the tiles today and only a corner and a couple of other trickier bits around the bath to do. He has also transformed the walls I am painting by painting, filling, Sanding then repeating the process countless times. I should then be able to paint this sometime after tomorrow (First Dawn). I have the flooring to put down in here as well, hopefully that will get done next week as well.

So in the next 2 weeks the house should really be coming together and can then move in, hopefully!!

Oh, my couch (x 2) are due for delivery in the next 2 weeks as well. I was told 8 to 10 weeks, 8 weeks is up today. I will call in next week to check, then again I might as well call in tomorrow. I will be more or less next door (if they are open on Sundays).

Will take some pictures of my living room tomorrow, I have some of my kitchen somewhere. I painted it Sunbeam (yeah its bright), still not sure about it?

Lots of people offered me help with painting and choosing the colours when I first got my house, they all seam to of miraculously disappeared or made themselves scarce. The only person other than family who has looked at colours is Val, but don't think I have gone with anything she has mentioned. Think I was put off by the colours in her bathroom, thought it was just because I was drunk but seen it again sober (wasn't that bad Val).

The picture below is of my kitchen, I said it was called Sunbeam. It is slightly less bright now, still need to supply sunglasses for visitors though. (Ignore the mess on the tops, DIY stuff)
