decorating

is just the most exhausting thing to do. spent all Friday afternoon trying to get rid of this wallpaper frieze. it's not being very cooperative. then, all yesterday was spent painting. first the kitchen ceiling, then half the walls. in red. i knew it'd make the small room look smaller, but it's quite amazing how much smaller it now looks. which is why i've decided to leave the other 2 walls white. cos that red is really, really red.

amazingly enough, the actual kitchen will actually be delivered on Thursday (so i'd better get a move on and finish painting the actual room). only thing missing is the cooker, which i ordered yesterday, only to find out i might have an electrical problem that would then need to be seen to before i can install anything. just great. and i'd originally thought i'd move in this weekend. now i'm wondering if i'll get there by the end of November...
