Disposable coveralls

The major project of decorating the hall stairs and landing is finally coming to a close. Although to be fair, the stairs will remain untouched for a while until I can summon up the energy to scour the remaining paint from the ancient timber. The major task has been to cover every inch of wall and woodwork with fresh paint, and the results are a huge improvement. In the background of course, there has been a steady use of paint brushes, disposable coveralls and rags - the hidden costs of decorating, but the costs have been well worth it. I must try and find some pictures of the hallway and stairway for a 'before and after' comparison - We moved in 18 years ago, and I took some photo's on the day we arrived, In all that time, this is the first time we have decorated the hallway, even though we stripped all the paper off years ago!
