Painting - living room day 1

My very kind friend, L, came for a painting weekend. As usual, I forgot to take the 'before' pic but it was pretty like the extra, except a bit dryer and with the light fittings installed. I'd been too daunted by the living room to get going on it on my own but L's determination, experience and expertise was really motivating and by midnight it looked like this - one mist coat entirely done on the ceiling and all walls.
