Farewell to mustard - and to gold coloured scrolls

3 days of getting up to greet the plasterers, 3 packets of biscuits and the lovely mustard walls are no more.  They were impressively tidy too.
The only downsides are that we've realised that fitting the wall lights is going to be a bit more complicated than we anticipated (short cables) & the switch for the lobby light isn't working so are resorting to getting an electrician back in.
We made a start on the decorating this weekend.  Phil used some interesting concrete-mix-in-a-bag stuff to tidy up the floor of the fireplace ready for tiling, stripped & re-varnished one of the handrails (and the light pull in the cloakroom).  I started on de-golding the railings, painting all of them black - pleased that we got that job finished on Saturday.
Looking better already I think....
