Decorating ... again ...

Wanting to hurry the decorating on to the horrible living room because the only things now left to do in the hall are Simon only tasks, I decided to make a start on the living room ceiling. I knew that it was in a bad way, but didn't realise quite how bad until I started to put the bright white paint on ...

It was soooooo bright I didn't have any problems in seeing where I had been! We have come to the conclusion that previous owners must have been heavy smokers and probably not decorated since the 1970s!

It has all had one coat now so looks much better however there is still a circle of the old 'colour' around the light until we change it to remind us of the horrors which lie beneath!
