Chocolate brown

I finally cleaned my room, moved my furniture and organised my desk!

With my birthday coming up my parents asked me the same question every year 'What would you like for your birthday' this year it was easy. I want a desk, and I found one at my favourite Swedish furniture shop.

So with this idea I came home Friday evening and decided to move my furniture, just to see if my new desk would fit. In the evening Steve came around and he had decided that he wanted to paint his apartment (it was really necessary, the whole living room is light yellow!).

On Sunday we went to the Gamma (D.I.Y. shop) to get paint. Finally there, a nice salesperson tells us that the colour Steve picked was probably not possible to make (?!) The colour was chocolate brown, but the colours for this season are light like lilac, beige and light grey. And that's why the machine could probably not make the colour.... that makes sense!
Steve took his chances and decided to buy 5 liters of the 'somewhat-dark-brown-paint'. Then we went back to walk 30 minutes with a mini stairs, brushes, rollers, sticky tape and 5 liters of paint.
I wasn't very enthusiastic about the colour first, but after it dried and had a second layer it looked gooood! The only negative thing on this whole experience was that afterwards the whole flat smelled after white spirit. Even the shower (which is cold and has no water pressure, don't even make me start about that!) smelled very chemical and toxic.

Monday morning I woke up feeling a bit strange, 2 reasons the whole flat still smelled after the white spirit, can't be very healthy!? Second reason my phone alarm went off and my phone was somewhere in the living room and the flat had a lot of obstacles on the floor (lack of organising). Not very fun at 06.30h.

Summary of the weekend: good weekend
