Grey
…It was my birthday last week and lets just say that I am not amused with my age.
Anyway, I had some fantastic presents (my main one from David is still to arrive but I will let you know what that is in a week or so) including this gorgeous spiral cushion from my sister. I have been trying to decide on what colour combination to have for a while but she made my mind up for me with this two tone grey number. She makes all the felt by hand including the spiral. I think I may want another one, I just have to decide what colour to have…
At long last I have started to put down the grey vinyl flooring in my loft/studio! It’s been a while coming but I have bitten the bullet, it was a bit scary making that first cut but thankfully most of the edges will be covered by skirting boards which I will fit afterwards. With 26 square metres to cover there is still a way to go but it’s a start.
I have also been doing an Ikea hack with the Aspvik unit I bought a while ago. I liked it but it was a bit boring and I wanted a more mid-centuryish look to it so I drilled the hole/handle in each door and then sprayed them. I’m rather pleased with it….
…Hmmmm I’m undecided about what I’ve done to the hallway!??? I’ve carried the grey paint around the corner from the lounge and I’m not sure if it’s going to be too dark or if I like it. If I decide to stay with it then I will also paint the doors, skirting, door frames, radiator, shelf and the side of the stairs where the metalwork is attached in the same grey.
David is yet to see it because he has been away to Glasgow for 24 hours so I’m not sure what his reaction is going to be! He should be used to it by now because I usually change something in the flat while he is away, I’ve affectionally named it “Secret DIY”. Once it’s done it’s too late for him to disagree…
