Darrell Has Designs

Spending so much time recently with Hugh, Darrell's best friend and mentor was bound to rub off on on him, so it really came as no surprise when he announced that he was just going to Zhuzh up the spare bedroom, which was, he flounced looking " ..... un peu fatigué"

He had been, he said  "..... inspired by a vision of Caribbean Tide et Moutarde" ........ to be honest, at that, I just left him to it.

Said Caribbean Tide was duly purchased, a roller, tray and paintbrush commandeered from The Lovely Laura, a bonnet de douche donned with, I may say, not a little style ...........

........ and a "do not disturb" sign placed prominantly outside the room, Darrell would call us when he had finished. I joked that I had a feeling that this might turn out to be something akin to the painting of the Cistern Sistine Chapel, so if Darrell hadn't appeared within two days I would go in anyway.

It proved to be pretty exhausting work, Darrell being very much a stranger to an aforementioned roller, thank goodness there was only a small part of a feature wall to be painted.

However, I have to say, the boy done good ........

....... with just a lick of paint and a little added or rearranged frou frou, the room, to quote His Lordship has taken on a whole new vibrant energy.

It also seems that he may have fallen a little out of love with La Grand Doyen de Beige, Dame Kelly Hoppen ......

........ and become a little more enamoured by the flambouancy and va va voom of Sir Laurence Le Wellie Bo-when, bless him!
