We’re getting the hall, stairs, landing and reception rooms downstairs repainted.
Work began on Monday. I have already agreed to buy a new carpet for the stairs and landing and to remove all the anaglypta (probably no loss). The idea is that the work will be completed while we are on holidays. Unfortunately, it started before our departure. The photos below do not at all convey the level of absolute chaos that prevails at home. I went to the bathroom in bare feet the other morning. A painful error.



The painting plan was set up before we realised that one child would not be on holidays but would be at home in Dublin preparing to resit an exam. My brother (agent of chaos) will also be staying in the house. Have we set up our child to fail? Well, we’re not exactly removing obstacles from the path, that’s for sure.
Anyway off on holidays to France now. Back in mid-September with tales from the holidays. Something for you to look forward to.
Enjoy France…redecorating is always a stress. Good luck….it will be better on the other side.
I certainly hope so..
