Water-based paint turned the smooth wood surface of the shelf rough, by raising the grain.

Of course it did 😡

I am a convert to caulking. In any building, wood and plaster shrink and move, opening up fine cracks which then capture dust.

Caulking is a flexible filler, exuded out of an applicator. The satisfying thing is that its use is tactile. Rather than a knife, you press it in and remove excess using a wet finger.

Our eyes are tuned to focus on imperfection, whether we are conscious of it or not. So the finished paintwork just looks so much better.

Girding my loins for a weekend of laying carpet tiles. Any shared experience would be welcome. Glue, or double-sided tape, or just gravity?
Apparently I have to be very careful with the Stanley knife.

I am painting a very small window and I didn't want to use 5% of a can and agonise about what to do with the rest.

My theory was to use sample sachets of furniture paint from Rustoleum. They are 99 pence each and unlike most sample pots, they contain the actual same paint.

I bought four. One sachet was enough for a somewhat patchy base coat, so I could have got away with just two.

A lot of money saved and much better for the environment.

I have been wielding a paint roller this afternoon. Not as satisfying as a paintbrush but much faster and gives a better finish. This warmth is not the ideal time but best to grasp the motivation when it arrives.

I thought I had bought way too much paint but I can see this going to a second can.

Hey, if you're tempted to put holographic vinyl up on your shower... here's the sign to do it.

This was about a 20 minute install, renter safe (it sticks on with water and just peels off) and super easy.

miniature fridge vases that fit tiny blooms

getting caught doing a random act of kindness, and unintentionally inspiring a stranger to jump in and do one too

a productive day on the current task of the moment (despite fooling around with my new mini vases, lol)

Second Quarter Moon Waxing in Libra

Celtic Tree Month of Willow

Rainy and cold

The weather is still all over the place. Just when you think it’s safe to set things up outside, we get another cold night in the 30’sF.

Walking around on errands, though, it smells wonderful with trees and bushes in bloom. We’re also moving into pollen season, where the every day question becomes, “am I coming down with the plague, or is it just allergies?”

The dance with the three cat grass pots continues. Charlotte, Willa, and Bea all like the cat grass. Tessa won’t touch it. She’ll sniff it, and then frown and walk away.

Seedlings are growing, even the carrots. I hope it’s not just little green shoots, but that they actually turn into edible carrots. That would be delightful.

It’s been too cold to plant the cucumber, eggplant, bush beans, and tomatoes, but I’m hoping I can do those in the coming week.

Planting days are tomorrow and Saturday, so I will try to get some more flowers and herbs started.

One tiny Eucalyptus shoot has come up. It’s kind of adorable.

I did the peel-and-stick wallpaper on the inside of the kitchen door (butterflies and cherry blossoms) and the outside (green and gold fronds). The inside turned out very well, and I’m proud of myself for matching the panels well. The outside, I’m not as thrilled with. I’ll live with it for a bit, and then decide. If I hate it, I can peel it off and try something else. I did not buy expensive paper for this little experiment. Still, it looks better than the bare door. I picked colors and patterns that we liked, and that fit the feng shui of that part of the house.

I got the bench and the bistro chairs oiled out back, as well as the bistro table we use on the porch in winter. Because of the dropping temperatures, I have to wait to oil the last porch chair and the small porch table. I don’t want them to crack.

I’m hoping to get things even partially set up out there this weekend, even if I don’t move the plants out until next week.

The borage isn’t looking good. I hope I don’t lose it.

I’m looking forward to the Farmers’ Market on Saturday. Last one indoors before they move it to outside and weekly for the good weather!

How are things in your garden?

Also, for the rest of the house I'm doing floors, skirting, adding sockets, etc, so it's not just painting. It'll be a while before I'd finish it off, not just a month or two so I'd think by the end of that I'd know for sure what will crack and peel in here. Anyone with #painting or #decorating experience have any insight?

We had a couple of days off to paint the study. As ever with an older house things didn’t go quite smoothly, as chunks of the plaster decided to detach from the wall, but finally we’re there with the greenest green. Just a bit more drying time and furniture can go back.
