Welcome to a piece of my life.
For the last few days I have been decorating my bedroom hence not being online much. (Feel free to fill me in on anything I missed that is worth knowing about! )
Anyway...... The room from decorating hell.
In my infinate teenage wisdom I thought I would buck the trend and paint my bedroom a lovely shade of post box red. It was lovely, passionate, rich warm and very womb-like. It also required four layers of "once" paint to cover. "Once" <pah!> Four fecking coats of white paint later and I can't see the red anymore
It has taken me three days to paint a room aprrox 4metres square
The walls are not smooth, there is a hidden dust factory, a spider farm, 23 years of hoarded stuff that needs to given to the bin nevermind the charity shop!
It would have been a toss up as to which make over programme I should have contacted and got in to do it for me; 60 minute makeover or how clean is your house? r.
I spent far too much time (and money) in IKEA and I haven't even got the space toassemble and put the furniture in the room cos I am such a terrible hoarder.
And I got trapped underneath my 7ft Compact Disc tower shelvey unit thingy as it toppled over and pinned me to the floor, covered in records, cd's, dvd's and vinal. Struggling like a beached whale I managed to free myself and tidy the mess I had made. Brushed the bits of broken cd case to one side and got on with clearing the metre high pile of stuff off my bed.
Anyone else care to share their decorating stories? ... maybe you got a decorator in and got a nice little bonus etc etc..... ;) Who knows? I certainly don't think I would have looked too apealing in an grotty dust stained top, paint stripe in my hair and a pair of knicks that kept riding up ending up up wedged uncomfortabley...... mmmm. Sexy beast me!

I've put me paint brush down, and sat here on the floor, sorry Gem, but you discription of your decorating outfit, is far more exciting than my Pot of Magnolia. So I'm going to give the painting a miss, and hang around here in the hopes that you will post a picture. Better than overalls any day.

No pics of me in overalls cos I did the painting in my underwear and not a lot else. I still got covered in paint though confused

I'd offer to recreate it for you , but the whole experience has left me rather traumatised! lol

Suppose I come and do your painting, send you off to a Hotel, treat you to a fantastic meal, then lead you back into a finished room?
Then can I change my walls from Magnolia to something a little more interesting.
Any sugestions???

<pinches herself cos she must be dreaming>
I have it already painted though so it's a matter of clearing out all my junk and filing the stuff thats not. What is junk to some folk is not to me! confused

typical hoarder..... redface

I still like the thought of being pampered in a hotel whiel someone else does the work though. I might bear that in mind for the future! lol
