WORKSHOPS: Making great progress on work room makeover

Chair painting today and the next couple of days...8 to paint and I took 
8 SHADES OF WOOL into B&Q 
to get matched paints, close to the chosen 8 colours. 
colours like..... Warm Pink Suede, Hot Shot and Green Energy.


VALSPAR MATT INTERIOR PAINT
just a large match pot, 2 very helpful young men helped me search the hundreds of shade cards to find the best match. 
I'm hoping each pot will be enough to paint a chair, if not back for a second one and at £3 a pot with my 10% discount on Diamond Wednesday it's a great deal, even if i need a second pot for each chair.

It was far too expensive to buy 8 colours of chalk paints and have loads left over. 
So a mat varnish will be added to seal the emulsion paint.

8 of the chairs in the work room will be painted this week in readiness for the work shops.

Also found the giant floor cushion cover in one of the boxes this morning from Book 2
Granny Squares and Shapes...
 2 different colour ways one for each side
Lunch and then the chair painting will start....soon know if one match pot does the chair

NEW CROCHET FRIEND...
Had a visit from a lovely new hooker Martha, not long moved to Shropshire and only lives a few minutes away.

 I do hope we will become firm friends, she has changed my life already, telling me about decluttering and getting rid of 10 items a week to be clutter free.

I cant stop, doing 10+ items a day to kick start the declutter. I've have already done the kitchen cupboards, airing cupboard, make up draw and my tights draw...shoes and wardrobe will be getting the same treatment.

 I'm using the 15 Minute Rule to do it too so not eating into my crochet time at all, the space is amazing just by removing 10 items and the you feel, light and free each time 10+ items go. Brilliant way yo declutter.

Long Haul Kitchen make over

Never is quick is it? 
Hope to decide on the kitchen today...this one is a top contender so far B&Q
with a grey Island and wood work tops 
also like....

IKEA 
and Wren Kitchens In Chester 

One thing i was sure about was a free standing Larder/pantry unit in Oak for the side of the kitchen we have the oak sideboard
so this has been ordered 

can't wait for it to arrive...


right now we still look in a bit of a mess
the hole in the floor grew to 4 times the original size because of cut tiles around the wall but tiler here today to level floor so hopefully the messy bits will soon be completed 






But the en suite is looking great now with the new p shape shower bath 
and new floor and safe joists




need for this to be finished soon
