Halloween Decoration Begins! Properly Creepy Picture

/
I can't remember the name of this famous painting of a farmer & his wife, the original of which spooks me enough.

It won't surprise you that I tend to go overboard with festive decorating, Halloween is a entire house-dressing occassion which lasts all through October.

Asda the past few years have been a surprising source of American style (eg. Excessive) Halloween house decor.

Last year I got one of these holographic pictures in faux gothic frame of a Napolean figure. Got this one today again in Asda for £2.
I'll be posting all my Halloween decorations over the coming weeks; once I start putting them up (tomorrow!).

Divorcee Green is Gone

Okay, after a deserved stern talking to I was sent to Homebase for a roller, as I didn't realise you don't use a paint brush on a wall.
I decided to get another green mixed to replace Slimer & got it right this time.

Nice, clinical hospital green. The kind of green kitchen units were made of in the sixties.

Will need another coat to cover some patches where the Slimer colour is oozing through, but I'm happy (not too sure about husband yet, he's away playing guitar in his study room to de-rage).

Oh Lord, My husband is going to Murder me

/
Oh dear.
I took the lid of my Metro Garden, art deco crockery set in to Dulex paint mixer & thought it would be the ideal colour for one feature wall in the kitchen.

It's not the sterile, medical, 1960s kitchen green I had imagined when it's up there.

I can't help thinking,
"He slimed me" when I look at it.

Oh well. I'm going to finish it when baby goes to bed & whack my Ridgway plate & vintage Ladybird book framed covers up & then decide if I'll have to repaint it a different shade tmrw.

To repeat : husband is going to kill me. This may be my last communication.
