if you need me you can find me painting

A friend asked me what I was up to this weekend, and I replied painting. Then I realised that I cannot see a time in the next few years when that wont be on the cards.
Purple walls and ceilings-be gone!
Our immediate painting plans for the next year or so include 2 more sets of verandah railings and a set of exterior stairs, our the walls and ceilings of our purple lounge and dining rooms and probably the kitchen too, all the trim in those rooms and the exterior of our house (with at least some done by a painter).
Three verandahs worth of railings to become white, and repaint the house grey
(I should find a spare weekend to sew some new covers for this free furniture!)
So you'll find me in my sweaty paint splattered clothes and hat, with a paintbrush in hand or at the paint shop handing over money.
Hopefully I'll have some afters for you after the weekend!!I will finish these front railings (if the rain and wind stays away!!)

**My current negativity toward painting may be due to my hatred of painting verandah railings. Walls and trim and cutting in I don't mind, the railings are doing my head in... :)

  1. Do I sound crazy saying I am envious of your painting plans? I am frustrated beyond belief that I am not able to be painting my house as a huge chunk of the interior would have been done by now. Oh well, patience, patience and learning how to slow down is probably a useful skill ( am very thankful my walls are not purple!) mel x

    1. You will be back up and painting very soon-just get yourself better! Soon this few week pause will be forgotten and your house will be all fresh and painted (and you might wish for some forced rest! :) ) x

  4. Sometimes the painting feels like it's never ending... so says the girl who has just decided to repaint the toilet and I'm thinking about painting the lounge room also. You know we are all in this together! Lisa xo
