I care.
what colour is this one going to be? Is this the one with the funky carpet? If so white might show it off

nah, this is the art room
so it's just going to be white, but I'll be covering it in whiteboards and cork and things to make notes on. Going to be a darkroom, too, so I have to get blackout blinds, too. Didn't mean to start it for a few weeks

other than pictures of layers of paint and wallpaper
(which I took earlier and probably will use to design some textiles project or something) there's not much to update. Had visitors the last two weekends, got more next weekend and a larp event the weekend after. Easter hols, however will be all about the decorating

Stripping wallpaper is bare fun.
I can't wait to have my own place and do it up from top to bottom.

this is totally what I'm doing
only it turns out there are important details like what the fuck you do with the big pile of paint and wallpaper, stuff costing money, lack of skillz and having to go to work

Oh I'd definitely do it up as well.
But all the hassle/rubbish etc wouldn't cross my mind because that's exactly what it is. Hassle. I'd just ignore it as much as possible.

I have a collection of art deco cabinets, wardrobes etc..
In my dining room because I've not got round to putting better joists into the rooms they're intended for.
I buy art deco furniture like Barry buys jackets.

You fold it all up (trying not to breathe in all the horrible damp polycell smell) and put it in bin bags
and take it to the tip.
