Over the years we have worked on and redecorated most rooms in the house but we have always shied away from the massive hallway, stairs and first floor - until yesterday! Despite my vehemnet protestations, Sinead went full steam ahead and stripped 75% of the wall areas up and downstairs to reveal an unbelievable array of wallpapers and colours from previous redecorations. Most areas stripped well but as always there was one area by the radiator that took an hour!
As you can see there is one large area that Sinead could not tackle and we will look for specialist ladders to borrow or hire to complete the job. The walls have been sanded and despite their multicoloured appearance they are quite smooth with only a few small areas needing some filler. I plan to give everything a base coat of white emulsion to bring it back to neutral and then we will see from there.
Thankfully the "Huckleberry Finn effect" took hold and Hannah joined in and her efforts can be seen above and below and she worked well and hard and is now off to a Hawaiian themed sleepover party! Back to work tomorrow.
