pink?

[elegentry]

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?

Gerania will do fine--they always do.

Pink? Every ceiling in the house, p'raps? After all, who looks at the ceiling (except me)?

Ya, I noted how well the existing geranium does, whether the weather is hot /dry or cool/wett. Rather why I have planted more rather than something else.

Ceilings- I should hope people look! there are pretty ceiling roses in all 4 main rooms. A waste if no one sees.
