Are we all in DIY mode? Come through the keyhole and enjoy a tour of Pluto's house....We're having the garden "done" at the moment - committed to this ages ago with a big deposit before we discoverd the pg. Still, I'm enjoying a beautiful fantasy of sitting out there next summer and pottering about tending plants and eating al fresco while baby sleeps and sun shines.
All the £ going on the garden would of course be far better spent on also completing the 10 year plan of sorting out all the artex in our place. We went down the plasterboard on the ceiling and a skim route but still have our bedroom and downstairs lounge / diner to do. Fascinating I know.
Our bedroom is a mess. Last done 9 years ago just before arrival of DS. He pulled strips of wallpaper off when he was 2. Have covered the resulting bare patches with his "artwork" - very randomly placed indeed. Have decided to do it up again and started by ordering some blinds for the bay window yesterday. OMG second mortgage time, I'm too embarassed to tell you how much this is going to cost. Now will have to do cheap paint job on the walls as soft furnishings so dear. Anyone recommend a nice pale pink or green. Is Farrow and Ball truly expensive? Am I paint snob?
Had loft done about 5 years ago when we thought no more babies would be coming so a second mortgage was possible as I would be working full time forever and interest rates would always be -10% So now we will be moving study up to loftroom and actually using the study for the purpose it's designed for - bedroom 3 - the nursery. It had better be a girl or boy will have to put up with bright red and white floral blinds for a long long long time.
I hope you all enjoyed snooping around Pluto's house. I'll invite you all to the grand opening of the garden in about 2 weeks.
