Have you ever tried....


.....painting a restaurant at night with the help of a 2 year old and 4 year old? No? I don't blame you. It's not that much fun. But, this is exactly what we've had to do. Where's Nana when you need her eh?


It needed to be done. We had had enough of the yucky dark blue walls and shiny hospital blue ceiling and after several ridonkulous quotes from painters decided the only way we were going to get this done was to do it ourselves. We armed ourselves with a spangly self-filling roller thingy and a whole load of paint and got stuck in. The time saved using the automatic roller was more than made up by chasing and chastising hyper kiddies not to mention even more time spent attending to their snacking needs and constant netflix movie requests. But like I said, it wasn't going to get done any other way. Go team Ralston! Wooo!





Our progress has been painfully slow and the poor kiddies are getting a little too accustomed to running riot,  helping themselves to cookies while we are stuck up ladders and sleeping in lawn chairs.




Slowly but surely the yucky 90's kids bedroom blue is disappearing and being replaced by a lovely warm sandy colour. It feels relaxed and comfortable and brings out the warmth of the wood. Ooooh, I'm so excited to see how it's going to look when we're all done! (Which will be in about 3 years time at this rate!)
Wish us luck!
