Far and Away

They do @Snowie When I finish I will take a photo of a corner to show you and @Faith-and-Hope I have a distressed looking stand that matches it really well - so I might get a section of that in the photo too to show you. I have already painted Cat's room in the same colours and it looks great. My bedroom will eventually be the same but the spare room will be the opposite - green on the walls and stonewhite trims ...and so will the hallway. At present the smaller bedroom is a pale blue - was like that when I bought the place. It is the other room that needs the most work - one wall is very crooked and needs to be sanded back as far as I can take it then around it repastered to try to even it up a bit. I won't get it completely straight but that is the wall I want to build a bookcase so it won't stick out too much. It will take some work though to cut the pieces for the bookcase as I will need to trim of edges to make it fit flush on the wall ....as I said - that room is a BIG job.

How was your Lasagne? Did it please hubby?

Wow @Zoe7 sounds like you are very handy with the tools and paint brushes. I am no where near that handy.

Tea went well, H devoured it and so did the kids. No complaints so that was a good thing.

I love making things @Snowie - especially out of wood. Most of my shelves in the spare room I made - they are painted dark green (no surprise there hey). I removed the plaster from the brick wall where an old fireplace was to expose the bricks - then re-layed all the bricks so it was straight and even - that was a massive job but I am so pleased I did it because it looks amazing. I built in a shelf for the tv and redid the arch for all the electrical things to go in. Part of the issue with the walls have been getting them level with the brick wall. They are as close as I could get them with the angles they are at - one side is better than the other but that can't be helped. I do really enjoying seeing a project come to fruition - especially when I have had an image in my head and it works out that way.

You are like the female version of a "handy man" @Zoe7

Might have to call you handy woman from now on!!

You will have to show us some pics of your projects hun (if they meet the guidelines), would love to see some of your handy work.

I think I have some before and after pics of the brick wall before I put anything on there - so if I can find then I will post a section @Snowie That will be a job for later in the week as all my hard drives are put away under everything on the dining room table under the plastic cover - mind you it hasn't stopped a lot of the plaster dust getting under there

haha @Sans911 That made me giggle LOL

How are you Hon?

Look forward to those photos @Zoe7

Will say goodnight hun, am really tired and having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

Hope the painting goes well and you get some sleep tonight.
