Watching paint dry

It took longer than we thought for the plaster to dry so that's put us back a few days with the decorating. When the plaster finally did dry we then had to apply a coat of wallpaper paste to the plaster to seal it. This took us a solid three hours after work because we also had to clean all the plaster off EVERYTHING. It seems Joseph got plaster all over the skirting boards as well as the back of the door!.

Anyway, for those who haven't seen the problem they were covering up...



I have some of the finished wall, but they are on the Macbook so I'll post them when I get them off there.

We're now on our second coat of paint (buttermilk!) but we're getting problems with how the paint is drying, it's cracking in places but we don't know why.

Anyway, this is how it's starting to shape up...



The far wall is going to be papered, which we think will be done tomorrow, fingers crossed!
