Am I ever satisfied? Nope ~ don't think so!!!

I knew that it would happen ~ it is inevitable really!! I have painted the kitchen, the hall, the childrens bedroom and my bedroom ........... now I am thinking (it is only THINKING! at this point ) ~ about starting on the livingroom. I have lived here almost 3 years and I have got a bit fed up with the magnolia walls that I moved into ~ that is the joy of moving into a brand new place ~ all the walls were magnolia!!!!

I have decided that I would like to paint one of the walls as a feature wall ~ in a brown/chocolate colour maybe and then have the other walls in a cream or lighter shade of beige or something (I have no idea what ha ha !!!) ~ I really like the rug that I have in the livingroom ~ so thought that I would take the lead from that......................................

Not the best photo of the rug!! It is actually a bit brighter than this in real life (and could do with a bit of a hoover ha ha !!!! )

I really would like a chocolate brown leather sofa too ~ I am still saving for it ~ although all these other things keep cropping up that I spend the savings on instead ha ha !!!

My current sofa is a teracotta colour and I decided today that it needs a thorough steam clean!! My neighbour owns a cleaning company, so he is going to let me borrow his industrial steam cleaner so that I can clean it up ~ that will be a job for this wet and cold Bank Holiday weekend!

My poor ~ much sat on ~ sofa, in need of a very nice steam clean!!

These curtains are going tomorrow ~ I have always hated them ~ they were not my choice in the first place and when we moved here, they somehow came along with us and imposed themselves on the livingroom (ha ha !!). I have bought some new ones ~ and they are going to be put up tomorrow!!!!

Well, that is my plan for this weekend. I will be steam cleaning a sofa and putting up new curtains and then I will be visiting the DIY store to get some paint samples and have a look around. The livingroom is a much bigger room to paint than any of the other rooms that I have done and I will have to pick the right time to do it ~ so for now it will just be a change of curtains and a few other things!!

Today has been a fun day ~ we went to the library so that the children could take their books back and get their first three stickers for their team read they are taking part in. They have chosen another three new books and when they have read these ones, they will get their medal and certificate ~ so they are trying to read them as fast as they can ha ha !!

I have promised them that if the weather is nice tomorrow we will either go for a walk on the beach or in the woods ~ I suppose that even if it is not so nice, we could just wrap up and go anyway!!

I believe that the theme for the next Brendas photo challenge is 'things with wings' ~ so I will be taking my camera with me ~ and see whether there are any 'wings' about that I can photograph!! XXX
