Re-decorate!

We've been chatting about re-decorating the house a little.  Another 'pay as we go' project, however, as we all know by now, things just never really go quite as planned.


To do list for living room... get a day bed, new cushions, curtains, one or two furniture pieces, and a fresh paint!


In August/ September we both had car accidents, oops, and with that went our money for the daybed we had been saving for, and wanting for a while.


We decided on a paint colour (nice and dark grey) and just before we were about to buy the paint, one of our switches blew the electrical wires in the walls.  After DH doing a test, we found it is in fact the wire,, and not the switch as we had hoped.  Hmmm.  Add plaster and labour to the to do list.


Now, a few weeks later, our Daybed, fabric for cushions and curtains have been ordered... the day bed should arrive just before Christmas.


Which leaves us with the electrical problem, plaster, labour and painting.  And we thought we were going to have a nice holiday-at-home December.  


The only other problem, is my new obsession with stripes.


I must try and remember to take before and after photos.
