Painted walls for WOYWW

At last I'm back

which is more than I can say for my desk.

Even for me it's a mess.

Look away now if extreme mess

upsets you.

And these are the tidy bits!

Yes, this room is the dumping ground 

for everything and now I have to

find homes for all of this before I can start

painting again.

I spent most of the summer holidays

packing up and moving my parents

into the retirement home 

but I did do a little painting.

I had promised to paint little miss's bedroom

and of course as soon as big miss heard that

she wanted her room painted too.

All I want is one wall done, she says, easy I think.

WRONG.

Big miss had a bright pink feature wall and

I had to change it to a metallic silver mica paint.

Well that was the most painful thing I've ever tried to do.

It ended up with all three of us in a line.

Little miss holding the paint tray,

Big miss rolling the paint on thick and

me bringing up the rear

with a dry roller in hand,

making a fan pattern.

It came out quite well but I can't get a photo

as it just flashes back at me, 

(must be the mica, not the photographer)

so you'll just have to trust me on that one.

Then we came to little miss's room.

Just a little pattern she says,

you get the picture??

It went from a white wall

  to a drawn on wall

to a bit of flouro colour wall

to some grey undercoat wall

to a black wall with lots of 

coats of flouro colour wall.

It must be okay as I got 

you're awesome from little miss

and normally I'm really uncool!!

So now I'm basking in awesomeness,

 well that's until I do something

uncool again.

That was my desk,

well sort of,

for this week,

 now why not hop over to

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see what really 

creative desks are out there

this Workdesk Wednesday.
