Lemon 1 Spring 0

On Sunday we got some sample colours and painted them on the wall of the nursery: "Apple" green, "Spring" green, "Warm yellow" and "Lemon". After some debate Hayley persuaded me away from "Spring" and towards our final choice of "Lemon".

Hayley's Mum has come up to help us this week and has painted the whole nursery over the last two days. That's two coats of "lemon" on the walls, two coats of white on the roof and skirting boards and she's also done the radiator to boot. (Oh and she ripped up the old carpet which can't have been easy with the sofa bed still in the room!) I'm not sure if the walls were completely dry when I first saw them tonight but they looked fantastic in the evening sunlight. She's done a great job.

The furniture should have been delivered yesterday but the delivery company couldn't knock loud enough to be heard by someone who was listening for them. (Where do they find these people!)

Next step: carpets.
