So I know I said that I wouldn't bore you with any more updates on my
house painting progress, but I have changed my mind, so prepare to be bored...
I have been painting every day for eight days now
- it's slow progress but today I achieved a small milestone and finished
the rolling of the walls (chartreuse) and the two external doors (pink).
Now to complete the eaves, door frames, window frames, gutters, fascia,
letterbox, outside lamp pole and a few more pots and planters...
I've been planting succulents in funny little places
and splashing the happy pink paint around a bit.
And things are starting to get pretty...
I was desperate for a break from painting, and going a little stir crazy so
I popped into a market in town today and found this groovy magazine rack...
And this gorgeous 1970s crocheted poncho was from my op shopping adventure
earlier in the week...
I hope I get the house finished before Helgastock2012 in 12 sleeps
(and I'll be away for five of those days!).
I hope you've all had a delightful weekend!

That magazine rack is so gorgoues. Your garden looks lovely as well. I love succulents cause you cant kill them. I am a murder when it comes to plants nothing ever lives other than cactii and succulents.
Wow! You are going great guns with the painting - looking awesome! The magazine holder is fab. Everything in your little bitty shack is fab. Xx
Your place is gorge. I love your little succulents. Nothing I love more than noseying about someone's place.
Wow your mag rack is lovely and that poncho is such pretty colours! 8 days of painting I coulnd not do it. The result will be worth it when it's all done though!! xxx
Slow and steady wins the race, Sarah! It's going to look FABULOUS when it's all prettied up, you have such a good eye for detail (well, two good eyes actually!)
Of course you need a little breather from painting, and it was worth it - that magazine rack is fantastic. The poncho has your name all over it and look how it goes so well with the paint work!
Keep it up, Painter Girl, you're nearly there! xxxxxxx
sounds like you're well on track to getting it all done. Make sure to show us the results.xx.
small milestone? getting the walls done is a HUGE achievement - and without getting green specks in your fringe too. the technicolour world is coming along brilliantly - and isn't that magazine rack perfectly in tune with it all! xx
I'm jealous of this Helgastock business! Your house is looking fantabulosa and what amazing finds!
I love the colours - it is winter in germany and everything only white or grey...
have a wonderful weekend!

Love you more than packing for trips!

Excellent painting work Sarah! The magazine rack is so cute, but the poncho is totally giving me flashbacks to when my Mom and I had matching rust coloured crocheted ponchos with pom poms on the ties.
i just love the green and pink together so much. such fun and happy colors :) sorry too back step but your hair in the last post is so super sweet. i wish i could braid my own hair like that. a tutorial?

You've made great progress. Is that poncho "tangerine tango"? You're dangerously on trend. ;)
Ooo, the colours on the mag rack & the poncho almost match! How spooky. Also, note to self, need more ponchos.

Great plants, like the budha head.
I love your pink and green theme they work gorgeous together and are very soft and gentle on the eye to. Its all going to look super when its finished. Loving the magazine rack and that poncho is lovely fab colours and so warm and cosy it will be like being hugged when you wear it. Happy painting. dee xxx
Your casita is looking great!

You two locas are going to have so much fun.
besios
I can't wait to see the finished product! the colors and gorgeous. You make me anxious to get started on my own painting project. -T
Whats wrong with people that they put lovely things like that in a scrap pile!!!
BTW that magazine rack completely matches a bread box i got from a tip shop a while back...perhaps there were lots of products with that design on it?
