Painting the Dining Room

19/11/2017

We have recently moved house and there is a lot of decorating to do. I mean every room and we are talking major redecoration, not just a lick of paint. But this is our forever home so we have the rest of our lives to sort it out!
This weekend I decided the first thing I had to do while Husband was upstairs stripping wallpaper was paint the walls in the dining room. They appeared cream at first glance but upon further investigation were snot green. Thank goodness for big tubs of white trade paint! The girls helped me paint the walls, skirting and coving. We'll ignore the textured paper for now but is looks far less offensive white! We've chosen new sparkly wall lights to replace the ugly green fixtures up there now and got some neutral grey bookcases from Argos which are cheap and cheerful and do the job for now. Little tip - If you are displaying photos and trinkets on the bookshelves leave the backs off the shelving unit to stop them being enclosed and dark. We just need a new table and chairs now as these have lasted about 12 years and are looking exceptionally tired!

It is so exciting putting our own stamp on the house! After the girls rooms are done we can start on the spare bedroom which they are currently camping out in.

I have to say your dining room looks great. White is so fresh and I'd never thought to leave the backs off shelves when using them to display photo frames. That's a great tip and I'll be keeping it in mind for when we buy our next house x

That's a great tip about leaving the backs of the book cases, and your room looks great. I am not sure I would be brave enough to let my three help though!

I know 100% how you feel! Me and my little girl just moved into our first home and had to redecorate every room. Its hard work but is so worth it in the end and your dining room looks amazing!

Well done for getting going with the decorating. We’ve just moved house too and really need to paint but haven’t gotten round to any yet!

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and youtube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologised to me for his behaviour and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did
