Well thankfully some of the heat has left the metaphorical kitchen. There was a time factor involved in getting this room happening which no longer exists. I am left with another problem of painting over everything and starting again to do this the right way which would be fine except for the pain factor. Saw a surgeon yesterday who told me that it will be fine to do these things but it won't make it any less painful. On bad days there is codeine though.
The good news is that I managed to get an undercoat on the floorboards. This has been the highlight of my week. I had been visiting hardware stores asking about the best way to go about painting the floorboards white and keeping them that way. Every single person I have mentioned this to has told me not to do this, which only made me more determined. The last straw was a visit from my mother whose comment about the floorboards going white was that I would live to regret it. The feeling of relief at the first strokes of the roller going over those boards was blissful. I felt as though I was coming home.
Now I need to decide whether I keep the walls pink. I am toying with painting the whole room white and beginning again. Will people know the difference between a white room with pink stripes rather than the current plan of a pink room with white stripes? Could my sanity cope? I really want to just get in there and start designing already, it's quite frustrating.
At least I now have access to online radio and it's plugged in to my very exquisite stereo. It is a cold and wet day outside so being stuck inside with some ultimately interesting decisions will have the best vibe I could hope for. I just need to grab a coin to help me make those decisions...
