This week my Word of the Week is: Painting! #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is:

I feel like I have had a good start to the year. Over Christmas I decided that I was going to decorate the bathroom. It has been a couple of years since it was last done and it was starting to look tatty. The yellow was nice to start with but I am not so keen on it now.

Just before the new years started my painting supplies arrived. I ordered new brushes, some rollers, a big tub of white paint for the walls and grey for the wood on the walls and what I thought a darker grey for the shelves which go right around the bathroom.

On Monday I started painting, I thought I would be finished by Tuesday afternoon but it was not to be. The walls took 3 coats of paint and the wood a couple. When I finally got around to painting the shelf around the bathroom I realised the darker paint wasn't much darker than the paint on the wood on the walls. I was past caring by Wednesday, I just wanted it finished and I think it looks good despite the paint mix up.

On Thursday the fun part came, putting the pictures up and building the new set of drawers. Nearly two hours the drawers took me and that was with using an electric drill/screwdriver. lol It was only when I put the last drawer in I realised that I had the frame the wrong way around, there was no way to put the back on but it doesn't matter, where it is in the bathroom you don't even notice. The drawers have really helped hide a lot of the bottles and tubs which were on the shelves in the bathroom.

By yesterday I had almost lost the plot, the paint fumes got to me. I am totally blaming the fact I had to shut the bathroom door when I was painting it. Becky had been out all day can came in and said I looked stressed and all red in the face, she helped me with the tidying up while I made the finishing touches in the bathroom.

For 4 days I've been covered in paint, I would love to be one of those people who can decorate without making a mess but it's not me. lol I constantly had a rag cleaning up drips and splashes. On Monday Stu came into the bathroom, grimaced and walked back out shaking his head. He hated the mess and chaos that surrounded me but I got there in the end.

Someone said to me on Monday I have so much motivation to be so productive but here we are at the end of the week and all my motivation has gone. lol I am having an easy day today, I have the food shopping being delivered and that is as busy as I am going to get. I am spending the day sat down, watching TV and catching up on everything online that I have missed while I've been painting.

How has your week been?
