I wasn't overly warm to the idea at first of coughing up a fair wad of cash to have it done, was thinking of how much more I could do with the money. But to be real I never really considered/took the painting side seriously enough because it just never felt like a priority for whatever reason - clearly I have my priorities all wrong haha.
That said, now that I've agreed and organised to have it done before keys it does feel like a huge weight off my shoulders and it truly does feel like all I need to do now is get my furniture in and set up!
