If you know me then you would be very much aware that this is probably a rant about how we need to become vegan socialists. However, this isn’t about fixing society. This is about things I need to fix in the home. I’m currently concentrating on the bathroom and I have got a list of issues that’s quite long. I don’t think any of them are urgent so I am going to do these things over time, do something every other weekend or so.
First I painted the radiator. It wasn’t looking good and needed some rust treatment. Then I spent a weekend getting two decent coats of titanium based paint onto it. I think it looks alright. It hasn’t made that much difference to the bathroom but I notice and it makes me happy.
Recently I am working on the ceiling. I have quite a bit of paint flaking off and some bubbles where the paint is definitely leaving the surface. So, I am in the process of scraping all the loose stuff off and then sealing the surface ready for paint. I think the paint will be over the next few evenings as I’m working on the sealing of the ceiling. Taking this little by little approach also keeps me happy as there isn’t too much disruption to my normal life.
I don’t like decorating. I don’t like the idea of having to move everything so that I can slap some paint on a surface. I don’t like the disruption. But, I have been telling myself that the end result will be pleasing and so I’m coping with that. I do not know what colour to do the walls in that room. I’ll leave that decision for another day.
