well, after weeks of going down to Eastbourne every weekend to decorate my mum's house it is now finished and ready to be sold - it will save me a fortune in petrol although got the trip down to 2 1/4 hours door to door

Fingers crossed people will like the new all magnolia approach - I know my mum would have hated the magnolia but it had to be done

It looks huge now in just one colour and with all the shelf holes filled and bodges from her boyfriend put right ... what was he thinking with some of them ? :roll:

.... I dont want to see another paint brush or roller again!!
