Plans and Progress

It feels like i have been redecorating my room or redoing my room for what seems like forever! I still haven't finished but i thought i would tell you of my plans and what i have done so far...... lets begin!  My room is a darkish teal colour all the way round,  very similar to the colour below. 

I am currently mid process in painting all my wooden furniture white with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. The reason why i have stopped is that the Pure white i am using is showing the wooden knots underneath no matter how many coats i put on it. I will be buying the Old white very soon to go over the top, there won't be much difference but it will make the furniture look a little more rustic and shabby chic, and won't show the knots! The pure white is better to use if you have a light peice of furniture to start of with, with no variation in colour.
The Annie Sloan chalk paint is really good because you don't have to prime or file the wood before you start and it goes on really well. You have the option to have it a smooth finish or with texture. The down side to Annie Sloan paint is it is a little bit on the expensive side. A taster pot can be bought for £5.95 for a 100ml and a litre pot for £18.95. They come in all sorts of colours and is a really good quality paint!

Here is a collage of my furniture, this is the first blog post on my room, the next will be about my photos in my room! So enjoy ! 

Btw I painted my

•bed side cabinet

• and I will be doing my wardrobe soon! 

I also changed the nobs to match my room for added detail!

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and will look forward to the next! Xx 

Beach ball madness

I bellow hello to you all, today is a chit chatty day as I'm very bored. I am meant to be doing a Baden Powell weekend to get my award but the weather has let us down and so has the itinerary! So at the moment I'm sat in a room with my friends (Eliza, Alice and Emily) doing a great lot of nothing. 

On the upside I bought a beach ball- because that is a very normal thing to do when your truly bored. So after a few huffs and puffs I blew dat thang up. 

Then I thought .... Let's have some fun with this beach ball so this is all the stuff we did with it - this is what boredom does to someone. 

Exhibit 1 

Obviously we drew a face on it - how could you not ?!

Then we threw it in Eliza's face

Action shot! Ka-pow

And then we threw it at Emily ..... 

I couldn't throw it at Alice because she was painting Eliza's nails, but just look at them! You can check out Alice's nail blog it's 'having a nail of a time' 

I apologise this isn't the most exciting blog post ever but there you go! 

Ta taa <3 (personally I don't think that looks like a heart more like boobs but just take my word for it ) 

Ninja spiders and stuff

I have an itchy eye, nothing to do with the post today but it's an observation to start it off! Today's post is about habits, and tells , all my habits and tells and my friends that I know of because it's always fun knowing that some people are weirder than you.... So here we go 👍

1. If I pick something of the floor like a cushion or something I always shake it before it comes fully near me because I think there will be a ninja spider hiding there waiting to attack me, so I shake it. 

2. My friend will always say maybe if you ask her something she doesn't want to do instead of no. 

3. I have another friend that will always try and trick you into believing something that's false but she will widen her eyes and have a huge smile and her voice will go 2000x higher than normal , it's an easy tell 

4. If I'm home alone I feel the need to sing constantly - very loudly 

5. I have a habit of walking into peoples rooms without knocking and then getting shouted at for it 

6. I crack my knuckles and spread my toes when I'm nervous 

7. Another friend has a habit of gripping your arm very tightly when she's excited she must have been a python in a previous life because if you try and escape she gets tighter 

8. The same friend laughs like a dying seal when she finds something hilarious 

9. I yawn weirdly when I'm falling asleep it's like I'm biting something and I make this noise 

Hararararararara 

10. Using a rediculas amount of emojis 👍😁😘

11. I have a habit of drawing attention to myself and then making a fool out of myself (the amazing jumping girl incident is another story) 

12. I cry if I'm tickled 

13. I'll cough if I'm lying (shouldn't have told that one everyone will know!) 

14. Making lists 

15. Leaving everything last minute 

16. Checking my phone 1000000x times a day just in case there is a chance that I've actually got a text 

17. Pulling weird faces at strangers by accident and then getting a disgusted one back 

18. I will straighten my hair get bored and put it up all the time 

19. Leave cups and glasses In my room for ages :/ 

20. Spend most of my money on food 

So there you go some habits and tells I have noticed about myself and about others! Comment your habits of tells if you want , I have realised I write loads of lists in this blog so I apologies to any list haters out there - I will try not to next time, until then ta ta!
