Adulthood: The Moment Your Mum Allows You To Paint The House

The other day, a contractor came over to my house to paint my bedroom ceiling which had suffered from a leak.

Dabbling In Art Is Expensive

I went to the shop on Monday and splurged on art supplies so I have been busy testing things out since then.
