The decorators started last Friday and today they managed to get a couple of coats of paint on the kitchen ceiling.  They also managed to paint the ceilings in the hall and the snug as well as getting some of the woodwork prepped.  This is really starting to make a difference.

The kitchen ceiling has been painted today - two coats of white emulsion.  I am amazed how quick one of the decorators has done this - it would have taken me ages and not nearly been half as good.  The wire at the top of the picture is for the fire alarm - it seems to get into every shot!

With the ceiling painted, the next job is to give the oak beams a second coat of Osmo PolyX.  Then we can move onto painting the walls.
