I don't like that colour....

I hate decorating with a passion, but apparently (I'm not convinced) the whole house needs doing before we downsize and move in a couple of years. I've reluctantly done a couple of rooms already. It's the large kitchen/living room's turn. I get dragged to the DIY shop to buy paint. She chooses some off white colour that actually looks like dirty dishwasher to me. I say this but she likes it. I spend most of yesterday doing prep, masking round all the beams that run across the ceiling, knackering my 60 yo back and knees reaching around and under the cabinets and fittings to scrub, sand, fill and mask. I start putting the first coat on and say 'look, this is minging'. 'No it's fine'. So I crack on and almost finish the whole first coat. This morning, I'm keen to crack on with another coat or 2 so we can finish and move everything back. 'I don't like that colour' she says. Back to the paint shop. Rinse. Repeat. I feel a new patio coming on.

Wife just bought a big tin of an 'off white'. She painted a section on the lounge wall, and has since decided she doesn't like it. 'You've still got some of the old paint left ?' she asked. I've got to paint it back over to the original colour.
