We are now allowed to mention the G word.
The back of the house is being painted green (Joanna Olive Green, in case you were wondering).
It looks a bit like this:

We like.
It’s a bit hard to get a decent colour match for a piccy…
And it’s amazing what a difference a bit of shade makes – you’d swear the paint on opposite walls was a different colour.
Well, there have been some good things going on recently in the house. We cleared up a whole bunch of junk in both the inside and outside spare room type rooms. Floor! Space! All this, and more, can be yours.
Also:
Wine rack re-installed
(Yay! No more piles of cardboard boxes in the hallway.
Now we just need to: buy lots more wine to fill it up; put something cool on the wall next to it).

Jo made an awesome coat rack (pictured here naked) in the hallway, round the corner
(Yay! No more wild coats roaming the hall, grazing on the cardboard boxes).

In other news: we are considering painting the outside of the house.
Probably green.
Maybe just the back bit.
Colour splats, applied today:

The two on the right are starting to look like the right kind of thing…
More samples, senor!
stripping the cupboards…

built in kitchen – pulled out!

rabbit, jo, jo hello!

kitchen from the garden

the “garden.” zen rubble…

in other news, we now have three and half litres of paint to test by splashing it up on the walls.
it’s three and half, not four, because the parking lot at the palms shopping centre now has half a litre.
in related other news, one of the (several off-white) colours is called “Happy Finish.”
How could we not…?
(Well, technically it’s called Happy Ending, but pffft.)
