      I never understood the idea that decorating is a male thing. In my family, it is both my sisters that have the artistic flare, and my older sister who is practical enough to apply that such that she is good at decorating.

          It's the same in my house Maria. My OH has many admirable qualities but decorating isn't one of them so I do all of it. Same with gardening.

            Same here, I always did/do the decorating and I used to like it too, at least if you get it wrong you haven't got to be apologetic and ask hubby to re-do it!!!

                I cannot hang paper to save my life so hubby does that. He is a messy painter so I do all the painting.
                £1 for paint was a great find! May have to check out Homebase!
                Hope you get it all done Maria, Christmas is the same at ours, wouldn't be Christmas without the smell of newly applied paint!
