Decorating

We devoted most of today to decorating. I should point out that I am using the 'royal we' here. My sole contribution
was about 20 minutes applying some undercoat to the skirting board along one wall while himself undertook the
task of papering. And we wouldn't have to do this task at all if Toffee hadn't attacked the walls when he was
younger - jumping up and leaving his clawmarks in the wallpaper so it looks as though Edward Scissorhands
had been walking along the corridor. Hopefully he has grown out of the habit.....

Nikon D7000

That embossed paper is gorgous! I need to replace old wallpaper too, but I'm too lazy. Beautiful photo, love the layout and light! V

Nice texture capture on the wallpaper, but I think that with cat and dog in the house paint may be a safer bet.

Oh sure blame the poor cat... :-)

Very nicely presented and looks like a hard project.

Very nice still life. Murphy didn't trash the walls, but he ate some weatherstripping on the front door. Good thing it was summer! V

I thought you'd bought some ancient scrolls in that bookshop sale.
Brian Samuel28-Aug-2011 21:02
Oh dear, that looks like some hard work about to start. More really effective use of shade and shadows, I can't tell what the walls currently look like :0)
