Redecorating (not bike related)

[Ed]

Last repainted the inside of our house some years ago and it started to look a bit tired, so on and off have spent the last few weekends painting the sitting room. Previously yellow. Now, colour is 'China Doll' from the Jeff Banks paints at Focus. Comes out a sort of putty/bamboo colour. What do you think to it?

Tidy? Hell no - I'd cleared the room to make it easier to decorate. Here's the finished product, I've just finished putting the lights back in the ceiling, hanging the curtains and generally doing the Mr Shifter piece. I'm rather chuffed with my handiwork.

Top row from right - the three white ones are Mary Wesley. An Imaginative Experience, A Dubious Legacy, Part of the Furniture. I like these, I met her at Hay some years ago and she signed them. Next to them are some Joanna Trollopes, then some Elizabeth Jane Howards. Next down - some Kathy Reichs - Deadly Decisions, Death du Jour, Bare Bones. I like these too. Then a pile of Ruth Rendell and PD James, and then some Edna O'Brien - a vastly underrated author. Bottom - some Barbara Pym, Maeve Binchy - Quentins, Scarlet Feather, Tara Road, Evening Class - and some odds 'n' sods. I like female authors, more convincing somehow. My bike books aren't allowed in there:(

Hey Ed, it beats magnolia for sure.

And a pretty decednt looking job too may i add. Lights out from their cutouts, same with plug points and not 1 drop of pain on the carpet that i can see.

Fancy doing mine any time soon? lol.

5 years into owning my first place and I still haven't managed to decorate it all yet :-(

Nice job there, might pinch the paint colour idea (as the last couple of rooms I've painted have been the dreaded magnolia as I have no idea and that seemed safest).

Looks dead nice, clean, and cosy - a job well done there, sir
