We moved in here 15 years ago. There are still no rooms papered, all painted by the two of us before we moved in. Painted twice since then at 6 year intervals (only the two of us here).
Before we moved in I fitted a new kitchen, all there was here was a single basin with two taps. Absolutely nothing else. Also fitted a new bathroom. That entailed removing the lathe & plaster ceiling and plaster boarding a new one, removing the brick wall between the bathroom and loo, removing all the orrible wall tiles and fixing a new surface to take the new tiles floor to ceiling, and including some ancient Japanese artwork tiles and several lighting points. New floor marble and subfloor before installing two basins, with dedicated hairdresser one so Celia can do a miracle wash herself. Then the usual 'offices'. That lot stays no matter what happens. So, with the painting of walls due, and sticking to the 6 year conscience rule, we'll be buying yet more paint in about 2023. Can't wait. Honest. We expect to be virus free then too.

With a permanent caravan on a good site we offered a weeks holiday to any one who would decorate one room in our house.
Through the course of the summer the house was decorated throughout. |

Mrs w44nty cleans the bungalow from top to bottom,then when we have friends to stay she says those immortal words
"You will have to excuse the mess" I decorate at least once a year,especially kitchen,lounge and hall about every 2-3 years,bedrooms 4 years,so I am always doing one or the other each year.
