In which Mark expresses his feelings with cream paint

This weekend I've been mostly painting. Those of you have visited may have seen the so-called décor of the spare bedroom. I disclaim much of the responsibility - a lot of it came with the flat and the rest was old/spare, and the paint scheme was from when my sister was staying there with all her stuff. The other prompt was the beds, and their complete lack of comfort. Rather than just replacing the mattresses, I opted to replace the (rather nasty) divan bases as well.

So now, I'm redoing the whole room from top to bottom. As usual, I started (not deliberately) with the duvet covers. That led to the colour scheme, for paint, curtains, carpet and lampshades (a highly edible combination of cream, chocolate, coffee and pecans). The wooden bedsteads then led to the shelving, table and lamp. My god, it'll be beautiful.

Now all I have to do is find time for that third coat of paint on the walls before the carpet and furniture arrive on Friday. And then there's the kitchen to replace before Christmas, various things to do in the master bedroom, and the curtains, carpet and sofa in the lounge. It's going to be a busy few months...
