After Janice managing to drag me into the flooring shop last weekend, we have ordered some new laminate for the lounge (yes, I lost the carpet battle to common sense...), kitchen and hallway. And just for a laugh ordered carpet for the three bedrooms too, as that shop did it all and worked out not bad altogether, relatively speaking of course!
So that prompted the painting conversations to be forced into the realm of reality and we have been upping out frequent-flyer miles at Bunnings (the B&Q of Australia). Hallway first, which was going to be yellow or something else and turned out we went with a peach (curd) colour - photos to follow on Picasa site. Just to see if Janice was serious (and so I could hide outside and wash cars, clean the shed, etc) I left her to the hallway and then helped with the finishing touches. That was last weekend and this weekend we are into our bedroom, with the ceiling done tonight and the walls primed ready for the two tone blue, cool hey! Which should go well with the chocolate brown carpets...and if not then bound to be my fault ;o)
Good (or bad depending on your point of view) that it's a 5 day long weekend so we can get some more painting days in to finish off the bedroom. But not after a days diving tomorrow for both of us off Rottnest (Janice bribing me to paint) and a good day on Sunday having all the crew over here for an Easter lunch with the biggest joint of lamb I've ever seen!! Yum, yum :)
