Clean up and decorate pic as always

[Shithole101]

Doing a bit more decorating. I have already messed it up a bit . But I don't care 🤣 wanted a bit of a break from the cleaning etc . But its not to bad now . Comes under the normal bracket. Have some wardrobes etc coming on Saturday. So want to try get the painting done by then if I can .

You've got me wanting to do the same now!

Excellent thread OP. I am place marking for inspiration

The weekend is close , decorating weekend? 😅

That looks amazing.

When I am struggling with choices, I remind myself that things can change. You don’t have to get it exactly right first time. You can live with it a while then do something else.

especially when you are as good at it as you are.

I want to get it done and finished today 🤣.

And that’s why you are amazing. Your determination and focus is great. I can’t wait to see the pics later!

Love so much that on a previous threat everyone said 'don't even think about panelling until you've tidied' and you've done it and it looks great! Nice one OP

I think people have different ways of doing things I don't follow a standard path . My house is not 100% I still have things to do but it comes under the normal bracket now. I felt like I needed a semi break from the cleaning and wanted to sort my room. And yep paneling came uo better than I thought it would. Thanks 😊

I Need to get new curtains. But the size is pissing me off. And the fact I have to get 2 sets . I want cheap ones

I’m a believer in seizing the moment of enthusiasm. DH is a planner and I lose all interest by the time we’re there.

And having a lovely looking space encourages you to look after it.

I have no idea how I'm going to sort where the plugs are 😭

That’s a lot of plugs… maybe a bigger space painted to hide the fact it isn’t panelling?

Your first one was really neat. Mine would have 53 extensions on which would spoil the effect😂

Someone else told me its not panelling but the word is stuck in my head now 🤣.

I think this wall is going to have a 101 bodge ups .

Ah no, that’s not what I meant. I call it panelling too. I meant leave the area between the sockets without panelling, but paint it so it isn’t noticeable.

Or do you poke the wires through the MDF and stick the socket back on the front? Can you tell I’m not an expert 😂

Panelling looks great. Did you find it hard? How long did it take?
How did you do the bottom? Is it sitting on top of the skirting board? I worried the panel would be thicker than the skirting

Holy God 😮😮😮 I've just caught up on your posts. I must have missed some. You're doing amazing. I can't believe how much you've done. I love your before and after pictures. You have some talent and so creative. Good on you.

Yes probably meant to remove sockets . I bodged it though 🤣

It's not overly hard. But I have messed up the measurements. It's simple for someone who knows what they are doing. I didn't even use a level.

The bottom is sitting on top of the skirting. It's not as thick as the skirting .

Thank you . I decided to do the whole room . Not sure if my was a good idea . To late now 🤣

This is taking ages. I think I have pulled a muscle. I just took pain killers. I just threw some basic food in the oven . So wait for that and eat. Time I have done that Hopefully pain will have gone then I can carry on.

Can't wait to see the pictures

I have quite a bit to do still. It tells me to wait 2hrs for the under coat. I'm not waiting that long. I have opened the windows. I will give it 30 mins and hope 🙏

I had to stop. I got to physically tired , painting was going sloppy. So I had to stop, really pissed really mwanted to finish the painting at least .

Love that panelling

It’s ok, you’ll get there. There’s only so much you can do!

Hope the sore bits have eased up now!
