BLOODY DECORATING!

Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram – you all have a lot to answer for!

Oh and you all SUCK!!

I’m not one of Mother Nature’s natural decorators really. My idea of painting would appear to be to get as much on me and my clothes as possible and if there is any left over slap it on the walls for good measure. I enjoy it though – so what the hell if I use three cans where one would do?! The REAL expense involved in decorating for me is all the bloody bubble bath and hot water I get through!

I’m a cranky bitch who loves cats and books and hates chocolate, politics and Dave’s. Oh and mosquitos. I hate those blood sucking parasites but since I’ve already mentioned politics I’m repeating myself! I’m a short, skinny redhead, 3 kids, 2 dogs, not enough cats and a mouth with a death wish.

  3. my husband won’t let me do any painting as he says its not good enough!!!! so we get the professionals in. I tell you, I may not keep in the lines when painting on the walls very well but I feel I do a grand job, going to try and paint the bathroom cabinets, have told him not worth having a decorator in for just a small job so we shall see how much gets on the cupboards and how much gets on the floor, toilet, sink etc. (LOL), I always like the idea of upcycle tho, did you use the purple? that is a nice colour
