I need a "to do" list
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 7 Comments 
Things are sliding by here at the new old house. Because funds have dried up for the moment I've conned myself into believing that there is nothing I can do. What a load of crock! So much to do. I've decided to start with something easy. I'm going to finish these drawers. Strip the remaining paint, sand smooth as silk and wax. I'll try to boil the paint off those handles too.
Second on the list is to "wallpaper" the hall. You can see part of it just past Mickey. Old books again. Big job. Need my head read. Ladders are coming and I have no excuse.
I'm also working on a 110 x 110 cm oil painting in pinks and oranges for the wall beside the surveyors stick. Need an injection of colour into the brown room. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon. Just an abstract. A lot like all the abstracts out there in blogland at the moment. Easy and fast to do and great for a colour jolt. Now that I've written this all down I'm hoping you hold me to it. I need someone to nag me out of my complacency or nothing will get done!

nag, nag, nag.
does that help?
If you're in need of a "to do" list, I'd be happy to send you mine.
How about I take Mickey off your hands??
The room is looking FAB!!!!!
soak the handles in a jar of ammonia, they'll come out sans paint!
I'm definitely trying that ammonia trick. It's now the end of Saturday for me and I haven't done any of this so far :)
Can you tell me where that fabulous numbers painting came from? I'm in love!
Jess it's one of my own :)
