Redecorating is the new Rock 'n' Roll.

It must be catching, after Tracyanne's painting extravaganza the other week, i've spent the last couple of weeks redecorating. I decided to move bedroom in my flat, which meant a new look was required in my bedroom to be. Paint was acquired along with some new brushes and a large dose of enthusiasm. The enthusiasm ran out around the same time as the paint. (Handy hint here: if you decide to take advantage of B&Q's bargain corner paint, which has been reduced cause they aren't going to stock it anymore, make sure theres enough to cover your walls so you dont run out and then can't get anymore cause they dont stock it anymore). After THREE coats of vinyl matt (i ran out a second time, but at least i could get the same colour again that time) Three coats of gloss (aye, i ran out of that as well, same story, bought the last tin of really expensive reduced paint and couldn't get it anymore). I always remember how much i hate painting just AFTER i start a new project, and i'm stuck with it till its all finished. However, it was all worth the effort, and the new bedroom is looking fantastic. I even sanded the floorboards down and varnished them. The best bit of all is that the next part of the project was that i could turn the old room into a music room. LOTS of fun. Now instead of having various pieces of musical equipment lying all around the flat, they are all in the music room, with a place to be sat in, or a table to be set up on. Now all i need is somewhere to actually sit down in it and we're laughing.
