Bank Holiday ~ Bedlam and Blues!!!

I am convinced that the weather knows when we have a bank Holiday here in the UK!! Obviously a day where we don't have to go to work, means a day of wind and rainy weather!!!

Today is a Bank Holiday ~ today is wet and cold and grey and dismal ~ typical!!!!!!!!

We have ventured out as far as the DIY store to pick up a paint guide ~ so that I can start looking for a paint colour for the livingroom ~ well two colours actually, one darker for the feature wall and a lighter colour for the other walls!! There are so many colours and I think that I will have to buy some tester pots and paint small bits on the walls (like I usually do!!), so that I can see what they look like actually in the room!!! I am sure I will make a decision eventually.

I did manage to put up the curtains ~ and I like them much better than the old ones, they are more in style with how I want the room to look ~ after the painting has been done!!



Here is a close up ~ so that you can see the pattern!!!
The unit in front of the window is going ~ so there will be a better view of the curtains after that!!



I was very naughty last night and went on line and ordered some new furniture (nothing too extravagant!!) ~ I ordered a new TV/entertainment unit, 2 wood and rattan units for infront of the window (the sideboard that is there at the moment is much too big and has seen better days!!), and a unit for the DVDs to be stored in!! They should hopefully be here in 5 ~ 7 days all being well (this is not the same people that I ordered the bed from ~ so I pray for no lengthy delays this time!!!).

It has taken 3 years to change all the things that I brought from the old house ~ which was where I lived with my ex ~ so these last few changes are like a cleansing process ~ they are the last bits of the past ~ and it feels great to be getting rid of them ~ making it all new!! It is actually quite exciting tee hee!! (that and the fact that I love love love shopping ~ ha ha !!!!)

I am looking forward to this latest 'make over' ~ I am not sure when it will start ~ as soon as the new furniture is here and I decide on the paint I suppose ~ I will keep you updated on developments.

Anyway ~ must be off ~ I have an important appointment with a cup of coffee and a paint colour guide ~ oh my life is just so thrilling!!!! XXXX
