Did you know you can mix your own colours at B&Q? This sounds like a good thing, but its not. Because I’m not good with decisions and this is splitting the atom of decisions. Instead of having a bunch of decisions, lets take two decisions and mix them together to make an infinite number of decisions. Do they appreciate what they’re doing to the neurotics of this world?

Before all this of course, I had to move the old sofa that had been left here away from the wall. Items found under said sofa:

I’m still not sure what the black thing is, but I think its maybe a dog toy (I really hope its a dog toy).

After longer than I care to admit of shuffling through isles of tins and rolls of charts and watching the mixing machine (which admittedly is quite fun), I chose a pre-mixed dulux ‘Blue Reflection’. Its not entirely blue and doesn’t reflect, but names are never a paint tin’s forte I find. I suppose you’d call it a ‘feature wall’ colour, but as I’m hoping the whole house will be a feature, I ignore this and slap it on. However, I end up stopping at half the room. There’s a pleasing sort of archway that divides up the front room (use to be two I think) and chose ‘Apricot’ for the other half. (Surprisingly obvious name for a paint shade, so well call it Orange seduction instead). Have now discovered the thrill of a post-paint masking tape peel akin to a good bubble wrap pop. Have a go. Go on. Good isn’t it?
