Decorating

So my husband has gone skiing, well snowboarding in his case. And for two whole weeks! He's taken my daughter and BiL with him. And he's left me to look after the dog and decorate the dining room. Now this in itself is fine, it was my plan. I bought a mural wallpaper for the ceiling. It's the nebula and it's amazing. Mark told me from the offset that he would not be sticking it to the ceiling. I tried to get a decorator but that wasn't easy so I recruited my old mate from school. We've decorated together before, albeit about 30 years ago. So far so good but...

I suddenly decided I wanted one wall to be panelled. I got Ellie to create images for me, it was what she did for a living after all. Hence the pictures you see. We've bought a big sheet of MDF and Mark has cut it into strips for me. Now it's up to me to cut it to size and make a paneled wall! 

Also, my wallpapering friend has had a bereavement so her visit may be delayed. My lovely wallpaper ceiling might have to wait a bit. I will post photos when it gets finished though. 

Back to Mark being away for two weeks. That's two weeks of being in my PJs, two weeks of watching what I want on the TV, two weeks of eating fish (he hates fish) and two weeks of margaritas. (When I'm not painting it sawing wood that is). 

I finished my autism course this week. It was a lot of work, a lot of typing, but I also learnt a lot. I've not found out if I've passed, but let's be positive shall we. 

I hope everyone hunkers down for the storm today. Stay safe and I'll speak to you next week. Have fun.
