  1. My 'exciting' week has involved lots of painting too. furniture for the shop, in my case, not so exciting as painting one's own house :)

  14. Well done you! I got back to painting today, as the rain has eased off! We're doing the shutters (hey, you know that) and Ben made four more new ones at the weekend, but I couldn't put the 'lazure' (that's French kind of outdoor varnish) on them until today. I bet your results look prettier than mine...

  17. Hi Heidi,

    Looking forward to see what you are painting! I have started work again last week. I do enjoy it, but I would have loved to have some extra weeks to do some painting, like you. I still have to do the inside of our little garden house and a cupboard, but when in the garden there are always so much other things to do..... Perhaps this Sunday!

    Good luck with the painting & happy weekend,

    Madelief x

  26. no, you're right. paint changes everything.
    i'm not at that stage, but i did get rid of the wall paper on three floors of hallway, so there.
    and this is only stage one, since old glue and paint are now eying me from the wall : a lethal concoction.
    unless you & co, dab hands, know how to dissolve the filth, whilest not taking me days on end in doing so? so far, we've tried water, dtergent in water, scrubbing it down,..
    leaving it on is no option, the paint takes it down in scales.
    [sigh]
    i'm thinking of thin tissue wall paper now (don't know the exact name for it), which will save us the scrubbing-like-hell hassle....
    can't wait to see yours!!!!! :)))

  27. My dear Heidi,

    the last 3 weeks I worked 15 hours a day in my both jobs and now I´m so tired. The good news is that my second house is sold and now the financial things will getting better for us. I´m a little bit sad about this sale because it was my first house that I buyed as I was twenty, it has a big garden with old apple and cherry and plum and walnut trees and I loved it. But the little house is old, very small and needed some work to make it nice again and our house in the south of germany where we now live is much more bigger and prettier.
    I will see my old little house every time if I visit my mother which lives 500 km away from us because my little house is in the same street.

    Today I wait the my hubby leaves the bathroom (he needs there more time than a woman!) and then we drive to Alsace. Today is my first non working day since 3 weeks.

    Your tea kettle is so beautiful - loooove it!

    Have a nice day and much fun,

    yours,
    Tanja
