Renovation update and choosing paint

My blog posts have been a bit few and far between recently. This is mostly because I've been away with family to Yorkshire for a week. I would have scheduled some posts over the week but I have been too busy with work for my course, finishing my job and renovating the house.

So here is what's new.

• I start my new job tomorrow and I'm getting scared!
• We have decided to tile the bathroom in our house ourselves. We had a quote through for around £600. It's literally about 1.5 metres by 2 metres, and there's no way I was going to pay that! We bought the supplied today. I'm getting scared about this too!
• We have been buying paint samples for the rooms.
• The house has been plastered and double glazing has been installed, but not yet finished.

So, the big deal at the moment (for me) is picking paint. I have bought too many tester pots and I'm getting excited. Here are my favourites at the moment. I need to wait for the plaster to dry to try them on the wall so I haven't tested them properly yet.

 Light blue - Farrow and Ball

Moonstone grey - Craig and Rose

 

Chic shadow - Dulux

 

There is so much choice and so many lovely colours to choose from. I've spent about £30 on testers already (although that includes two Farrow and Ball ones for a whopping £3.99 each!). 

 

Hopefully once the walls are dry and primed, It will all become clear. It's so exciting though! Wall painting and floor choosing are the most exciting parts of renovation!
