Two whole days of painting over the ghastly blood-red walls of our bedroom in the new house, and I find, to my horror, that the new, supposedly calm, neutral colour which I picked because I thought it would make the room seem tranquil and peaceful actually just makes the walls look as though they have been coated in sludge.

I am hoping that when I next see those walls - in a week's time, when we get back from Scotland - they will seem less dire. We plan to leave tomorrow at four tomorrow morning; I am looking forward to the break immensely. I think it'll do us good to be in an environment where we can't possibly do any chores of any description. And no internet or tv either, which will be good for us too.

Meanwhile, I hope that all of you who'll be celebrating this week have a wonderful time. See you next week! (Or maybe, next year!)

The good thing is that it is only paint and you can paint over it. Maybe if it still looks dire next week you can sponge another color over it or rag roll another color over it. Or...it will look so totally, fabulously wonderful that you won't have to do anything.
Have fun in Scotland...I'm quite jealous.
Blessings Abound!

I hope you have a wonderful vacation, and that the pain looks better (or at least easily salvageable!) upon your return.

Happy New Year! May it be a year without moving!
