I will be painting our stairwell soon because it hasn’t been painted in a while and is in dire need of a lick of white, it’s very high so I need to borrow some ladders. Anyway, I have always had a problem with what lighting or shade to have there and I have lusted after the Moooi Random Light above for ages but at the uber-spenny (expensive) prices starting at £418 for the 50cm diameter up to around £1,300 for the 110cm I think I will be looking for a while longer!!! I saw the black version for real in a shop in Cardiff recently and all I wanted to do was rip it down and run off down the road with it!


Also loving the David Trubridge Coral shade below which again is rather spenny at £341 for a 60cm diameter! Although it does come in kit form which fills me with dread after putting the Norm 69 together which was the most frustrating afternoon of my life! Who said I had expensive taste!??



…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…
