Procrastination

I've been painting the hall stairs and landing recently. The hall I did pretty quickly so as not to cause too much disruption but the landing has lingered. Mainly because, having done all the walls, I only had the woodwork left to do. I think the moment I started to lose interest was when I looked at the landing and counted 15 uprights on the bannister, as well as the rail itself, 2 loft hatches and 6 doors and door frames to gloss. Yes, I think that I can pinpoint it to then.

It's safe to say that I like the effect of nicely finished gloss but hate with a passion the process of getting there. Give me wallpaper or painting walls any day. Gloss takes too long and I always end up with something stuck in it (often carpet or my own shirt) and it has to be rubbed down all over again.

However, I'll persist and I will finish the job. It's just a shame that, as we've used the same colours as before and are just freshening it up, nobody will notice any difference.....
