… so I’m pleased Paul’s doing it.

He’s decorating Nan’s old bedroom and we’re moving in ‘cos it’s got MUCH bigger windows than our dungeon.

I am making lots of tea and bringing him cakes and stuff though.

I think the deal is that he’d rather just get on and do it on his own instead of me being up there ‘helping’ whilst complaining every 3 minutes that I got some sugar soap/paint/white spirit/dust on me.

I did pick the paint colours… although I’m already doubting my sense of style. But shhhh… we won’t say anything until it’s done alright? I don’t want to start a mutiny up there.

The second picture is a better representation of the colour than the first (at least on my monitor). I’m hoping the grey comes out all nice and soft, whispery-looking as opposed to battleship grey-looking. I’m also expecting muted stuff from the green… I don’t want it to look like I have a mould problem. The green will go on the wall the bed is against and the grey everywhere else. My main concern is that the green is a touch too dark… but I’ll deal with that problem if it arises.

We’re getting a new carpet too… I want something with a really deep pile…. a bit like this:

Is it a bit bathroom ruggy? tell me, I can take it!

and I want it in a mushroomy kinda colour… mid brown but tonally more grey than red… does that make sense?

This is the kinda colour:

So… blog participation time…. honestly - I need your guidance… what do you think? Better you tell me that the only taste I have is in my mouth before I spend more money and wind up sleeping in a room that looks like it was designed by Dame Edna Everage.
