Making some progress

[callmemadam]

The dining room has been out of use for over a week and will remain so for a while. The sitting room is half full of boxes. Sigh. It's not that it's such a big job, just that it takes a man here, a man there; never one concentrated burst of activity. This morning I went to inspect the painting of the dresser I wrote about here. This is what the top half currently looks like.



Only one coat on and that's not a good photo, it's actually greener-looking. Still!

Lovely! Is that a farrw and Ball tin I spy there?

Thank you. Yup, Farrow & Ball. I don't mind the expense for such a small area. Besides, they're a local company!

Whoops - don't know what happened to my typing there. We used their paint a lot in our last house in England (when we were richer) and I was always really pleased with the results. Whereas when we tried to economise in the hallway we ended up painting it 3 times to get a colour we were happy with.

Ah is this looks fabulous, you must be so pleased! Poor you re the workmen!

I'm so looking forward to having it done! I've mentally rearranged the dresser countless times.

I can't wait to see the finished result (and I'm sure you can't either)! Looks beautiful already.
