The painting is going really well and we’ve knocked off most rooms over in the bedroom pod. I sanded a couple of the rooms myself over Easter with the kit our plasterer left me and I did a pretty damn good job even if I do say so myself. It took me forever though, but I was being stupidly meticulous – but when it’s your own home, I don’t want to be haunted with blemishes on the walls and ceilings everyday!

Loving the Dulux paints we’re using too. Little Manly Half has lifted the rooms beautifully, and the Sugarloaf Island Half looks brilliant in the two spare bedrooms, complimenting the bush outside perfectly.

Dusty job sanding plasterboard!
