I’ve painted the cupboard door – it’s not too bad, although there are a couple of bits that I’ll touch up. It’s currently waiting to be completely dry before I put the hinges and handles back on. I’ve also painted one side of the bedroom door and am going to leave that overnight before I turn it over to do the other side. And I’ve finished off the filling of the door frames.

The list:
- Seal walls
- Fill gaps in coving
- Paint ceiling (3 coats)
- Paint walls (2 white & 2 colour coats)
- Paint coving (3 coats)
- Paint skirting (undercoat & 2 coats)
- Touch up around coving and skirting
- Decorator’s Caulk around skirting and coving
- Clean and paint raidator pipes
- Fit curtain pole
- Fit radiator
- Measure up and buy door
- Paint door
- Fit door
- Fit door handle and latch
- Make good doorframe holes from where door was turned round
- Paint door frame
- Buy light fitting
- Fit light
- Buy carpet (and get someone else to fit it)
- Buy furniture
- Fit furniture

I’ve done the last bit of the coving and skirting. I’ve started painting the boiler cupboard door, which isn’t part of the bedroom project, but I want to do it while I have a room with no carpet down, and I want to practise on a less ‘important’ door before I paint the bedroom door. This one won’t be used very often and has one side that will very rarely be seen – I’ve started there.

The list:
- Seal walls
- Fill gaps in coving

I need to add another entry to the list:

Touch up the bits where I coloured outside the lines.
