Up with the Lark

You know when you wake up and the sun is shining and woopee woo! you suddenly realise your energy has returned after a long dormant spell i.e. winter, and you reach for your to do/wish list for the house and before you know it you've opened a can of Farrow & Ball paint in your dressing gown and are slapping it here there and everywhere!!  Well it's going to be one of those days here! I can't remember the last time I felt so inspired to attack my house decor and go for a change and the easiest way to do that is with paint. In our previous house I could paint the kitchen in the time it took Steve to go to football and back, quite a challenge, and a lovely surprise for him, ha ha! in  fact it got to be a bit of a competition with us, at that point we were doing a lot of shows with Bespoke Country and one year whilst I was at Country Living I came home to a new hall stairs and landing carpet, so after I had recovered from my heart attack...no really it wasn't too bad just a step too far you know, I mean that is a big, once in twenty years decision so I had to call an end to that game but the sort of things that I paint now noone really notices anyway. So you all have a great sunday and I'll post an update ...!

Painting in my dressing gown happens if I haven't gotten round to getting dressed! I am not a morning person and have never been up with the larks!
Hope you had a nice day.
