Daydream fund challenge part 4

A really fab house I knew had an open spiral staircase & the ground floor started off white on the walls & it graduated to deep midnight blue on the top flight & the ceiling had stars - the sky walls had clouds - it was stunning.

I did a sky ceiling in a cottage kitchen & thought it looked the biz, but one of my brothers said it looked like I'd under coated over the cracks. Well I liked it.

OH & I just been out to the house & made a list of stuff we need. We do need to get doors, but we are a bit pushed at the mo & they can wait.

The house was a Georgian Manor House that had been remodelled by Hugh Lorimer (1920s?) & it ad been bought by a guy & him & his partner did it up in a very incredible way. One of the sittingrooms was all white with built in bookcases that held copies of the National Geographic - the exact same shade of yellow as the magazines was used in cushions & shades on patterns of the rugs, lampshades etc.
It was all a bit over the top & really exciting & daring & so visual it was a treat to be shown round.

While it would be lovely to be artistic here, we're under pressure to get things done ahead of other things.

My latest suggestion is to paint just the bits of walls where radiators are to be hung, to avoid trying to paint behind them afterwards, then do the rest of the room later.....:o

that dave, is a smart idea... in fact so logical it never occurred to me !:o

Atlantic depression has now blown through, but leaving everything saturated

Neighbour across the way from me has spent the last three days building a deck, judging by the sawing and hammering noises. However his back garden is shaded by the house, so it'll be a lethal ice-rink of algae and slime soon enough...he'll learn Scottish weather isn't compatible with decking.

Going to put up the rain canopy while the air is still, until it's bolted to the wall it's like a sail.

EDIT - finished, and just before the rain started...this alcove faces south so with some cover I hope the sun lovers and succulents in pots will be happier.
