Coat one went on the bathroom walls yesterday. The process was less painful than I feared. The new edger pad tool was fantastic-when the bit being painted was within arms reach. Not so accurate at the end of a pole. So I have made a bit of a mess of the cornices, pretty good for the rest except where I missed bits of wall. Still that is what a second coat is for- to cover the bits you missed last time. I can touch up the cornices after. Now the hard bit is that I am not sure I like the colour. It looks much more pink than I thought it would. eek? Actually it is a colour I really like, just wasn't imagining the bathroom quite so pink. I shall do the second coat anyway and then see what it looks like with the wooden blinds back and the floor tiles exposed. Nearly anything looks horrid next to the urk coloured drop sheets. Lots more of the wall will be covered up too with towels and cupboards etc when finished so perhaps the effect will be dampened, here's hoping.
Need to get second coffee down me first so I can do the coat in one go.
Later:
second coat on. Still suspending judgement about the colour. Only used shy of a third of the 4L paint. Wonder what else could be painted almost pink?
Really want a shower but bathroom full of fumes. I'd better find something else grotty to do before the bathroom is habitable. Maybe I can dig out the rubbish from the front wall "planter" space so I can put the new geraniums in.
Even Later:
-wall dug out, refilled with potting mix, geraniums planted in. Looks fab. Now hoping they grow.
-sad looking red geranium seedling potted up, fingers crossed
-new "apollo" tomato planted
Will the sky do some watering in please?

So, I think I do like the bathroom walls after all now I have things attached to the wall again. A very soft look:
and I am seriously amused to realise that these are almost exactly the same colours I chose when redecorating my bedroom at age 15.
and here are my new geraniums. I must be having a pale pink phase. What does that mean?
now I need to put my feet up and think about dinner.
