DH and I have been hard at it since yesterday morning and all our hard work has paid off ... we have finished decorating the loft / sewing room tonight and I can start moving alll my stuff back up there next week ... yay!!!
He's an absolute star ... as I am writing this, he has just popped out to buy us some chocolate ... well, I reeeeeeeeally needed some:
You'll remember before all the fixing the unsafe roof-building work began, we had to empty the loft and the room looked like this:
And this was where we'd got to when we stopped at 7pm tonight:
Whilst DH pva glued the new plaster yesterday, I discovered an amazing new painting experience - Annie Sloane's chalk paint ... in pink - of course! My new blanket airer (quilt holder?!) got the treatment first:
Followed by my last year charity shop find cubby hole display unit:
Then a cheap old TV table we'd forgotten we had:
The walls are painted 'apple white' and whilst I had that pink paintbrush in my hand, the door trims got a coat too!
It's amazing stuff - one coat covers all (except the dark brown varnished display unit - it needed two) and so nice to use. DH even gave the inside of the ugly old windows a coat:
Very happy ... very proud of what we've achieved ... oh, and very very tired :)
