How I Spent The Long Weekend – Julie Devereaux
Isn’t is amazing what a coat of paint can do! (ok…three coats of paint…plus primer) If you’re wondering, the color is “Candlelight Yellow” cos who can’t use a little romance…

By the way, slightly off topic, I'm wondering, when you're picking out colors for your residence, does the name of the color have any influence over your choice? Because I think I'm sometimes subliminally swayed by the name of the color!

It took me all day Sunday, and I mean ALL DAY, from 9am til midnight, but I got it mostly done. Of course when you see the paint job in the light of day there are a multitude of "finishing touches" (like a third coat of paint!) that have to be done. By late afternoon yesterday I had most things back in place! Now I can start "decorating"!
