Hello dear friends,
I hope you have had a good weekend
I'm sorry I have been absent lately, things have been busy here, with working on the new look for our lounge.
Martin has given the ceiling two coats of paint and the final one will go on next weekend.
I have removed the brass door knobs and have given them a polish, my job was to paint the undercoat on the doors, skirting boards and the windowsills. The preparation seems to take a long time, but worth it to do a good job.
I'm so happy that the room is all starting to come together and we have decided on a wallpaper, we will use .
I have said this before,... how much the pansies growing in my garden make me happy
I wish you a happy new week.
Hugs
Carolyn

House projects always seem to put the rest of life on hold. The results will be worth the hassle, I'm sure.

Painting is not my favorite thing to do. I tend to just slap it on as best and as quick as I can. :/ Always nice when it is done though. Have a great rest of the week. Tammy

ReplyDeleteSounds like it's coming along fabulously! Good luck getting it all complete, Carolyn. I bet it will look incredible when it's all finished. And you'll feel incredible too :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteWe are doing a similar project and so I understand all the hard work involved. Those ceilings.. kind of a pain in the neck! :) I'm painting walls, trim and touching up doors. It's amazing how much paint it takes around those window! The wood seems to soak it up especially if the strip the wood prior to painting. We will hopefully start our cabinets in a couple weeks when we return from our trip.
Sounds like you are doing what it takes to achieve the perfect look.
Enjoy your week!

It sounds like the new lounge is coming along at a great pace Carolyn. Painting is always something I dread. I never feel like I do a good enough job. I always put it off till the very last minute : )
ReplyDeletehugs from here...
Sounds like you are keeping busy painting...it will be worth it I am sure. Love your pretty pansies. Flowers make me happy too!
ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteSoon Martin and you will finish this major task and you can enjoy your home anew. Those pansies are sure lovely.
Love to you,
Mariette

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are making great progress with your lounge and I know it will be beautiful and perfect for you and your family to enjoy. The brass door knobs look gorgeous and I know how much work all the trims are.
Your pansies are so pretty and bring so much joy. Love them.
Have a wonderful day and have fun with your project.
Love to you, Celestina Marie
Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what a new coat of paint will do for a room. I wish I could see what it looks like when it is completed. I love what is written on the chalkboard. It is such a cheerful reminder. I hope you are having a good summer.
