Obsessed Decorating

03/12/2025

I’ve often seen people win awards and have looked on in awe and wonder. Now I have one! 🙏🏼😱🥰

Last Friday I had the most wonderful experience. Not only was it a chance to put on a dress! But it was also the chance to meet and spend time with such wonderful people I’d never have had the chance to meet without this incredible opportunity. I was in incredible company with the other finalists - it’s humbling!

I play most things off with a smile and a joke but this has been a deeply emotional experience and one I feel deep gratitude for. To be entered by my wonderful Mentee Matthew of reminds me why mentorship and community matter.

I started learning this trade from my Dad and Grandad over 25 years ago, and to now be passing that knowledge and life experience forward and to be recognised by someone I’ve helped feels like things have come full circle.

This award is proof that dedication, craftsmanship, and kindness matter to this brand who have made the history of this industry and I’m truly grateful 🙏🏼

It’s also proof that even after decades in the trade, there are still new milestones, new joys, and new reasons to be proud of ourselves and make others the same.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this story as there are many of you who encourage me daily-it’s a joint team effort 🙏🏼

Here’s to many more years of doing what I love - helping others to flourish and prosper as Painters and Decorators.

Still feeling so touched by this moment 🥹

Having one of my mentees visit me at the P&D exhibitor stand meant more than I can express. Of course Annukka you were also there to talk spray courses with the fantastic Academy too!

Watching you grow, learn, and step boldly into the vision of your own path has been one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Sharing your wins and “aha!” moments along the way has been both beautiful and downright hilarious 🤣 We’ve laughed, we’ve learned, we’ve ‘hallelujah’ (a few times), and we’ve celebrated every milestone with wild enthusiasm.

Mentorship isn’t just guidance it’s connection, shared growth, and cheering each other on through every wobble and triumph.

Annukka I’m so proud of you - you are an incredibly talented woman and I’m proud of what you are taking on board and applying and of all you’ve achieved in just 12 weeks.

I can’t wait to see what she does next!!

Here’s to helping more decorators - sharing more success stories, helping make more confident decorators, assisting more tradespeople pricing with clarity and finally - frankly - seeing you earning what you’re bloody well worth!! 💪😍🤩

I’m excited to share with you that I will be on the stand at this year’s Painting and Decorating Show at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry!

I’d love for you to come over, say hello and have a chat with me. You guys know how much I love sharing my story as to why I fell in love with spraying, how it transformed my business, increased my income, and gave me a real sense of confidence and certainty. Spraying has also had a hugely positive impact on my mental health, and it’s a journey I’m passionate about sharing.

With the supportive methods and approach at the beautiful QTech Academy, you can follow a clear training pathway, with the potential for funding through the CITB, get guidance on choosing the right QTech machine and accessories, and benefit from ongoing aftercare as part of the QTech family.

I look forward to seeing you there!

When I qualified as a CNM HealthCoach and Holistic Life Coach it was with one single intention in mind - to help decorators live healthier and more successfully and live artfully and well.

I’ve known feast and famine - hard days - long nights on jobs when I often cried as Id rather be home rather than pulling an all nighter, being on a long nighter and being too tired to cry. I’ve known frickin AWESOME days, a far bank account and the wins of a job going well, happy clients who return and return and a great reputation because I knew what it took to build it. It takes a lot of elements and organisation and processes and strategies.

It turns out that not only can I help with how to manage bad backs and sore knees and shedding a few kgs or 3 stone but that I absolutely LOVE helping you have a more efficient business that pays well too. My god do I know all about the lows and highs!

Part of my coaching now is auditing your business and assessing pockets of opportunity for expansion and efficiency.

If you have been thinking things are just not working out that well and you want to start sleeping easier at night and have a feeling it will take more than a Bees Wax foot rub or Magnesium- let’s chat!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Your Coach
Sharon

Last night’s video? Oh, honey, it was all about THAT SPRAY GIRL. You know, the one everyone’s buzzing about. And before you roll your eyes, yes, it’s from the P&D Show—the one hardly anyone watched because, let’s be honest, it was longer than a biblical epic. Moses himself would’ve tapped out halfway.

But fear not! I’ve done the hard graft for you, sifted through the endless footage, and pulled out the real gems. Think Sharron’s one-on-one interview—pure gold, darling! I’ve turned it into her own mini-documentary, and trust me, it’s an interesting watch. And no, when I say “watch,” I don’t mean an Audemars Piguet. Though, maybe one day I’ll treat myself. After the Porsche, obviously. Priorities, right? *One day...* 😂

Don’t miss my exclusive one-on-one interview with the incredible Sharron Norton Marshall, aka "That Spray Girl," at the P&D Show! 🖌️✨ Not only is Sharron a ...

On a building site - and I’m NOT the painter!!

I am feeling good about this - I can admire someone else’s work whilst I was lucky to visit this site in Winslow today without wearing the painting whites or getting one single speck of paint on me!

From the moment I walked in the finish was clean and neat- beautiful choice of black hinges and door furniture and an evidently lovely project put together by a great team led by Winstanley Construction in Leighton Buzzard.

It’s rare I can go around a whole detached house and only pick out one thing that jumped out at me … because I’m obsessed with an exacting high standard 🤭

Maybe I will be allowed to show you more about these beauties soon!

Fun Friday Laughs …!

That face I get when he’s like ‘Errr yeah Mum … I know!! 🤣

This was SUPPOSED to be a selfie shot whilst instructing how to mask a bathroom quickly and speedily but when I started explaining- I get that look like ‘How many times have we done this’!? 😅🤣 The fits of laughter we had!! It was so impromptu and organic I wanted to share 😃

🙏 These are the moments I feel so lucky that I am Josh’s Mum 🙏

What a fine young man and not only that he is good looking, extremely intelligent, super funny, is an absolutely fantastic worker even when we are up against the clock and deadlines he remains calm under pressure and helps me to get through the hard jobs never once complaining or utterance of negativity. I am truly grateful for him and his tenacity even when he has to do things he doesn’t enjoy. He never wanted to be a decorator and we have really only borrowed him for a while but what an asset he is. He truly is an outstanding employee AND he even let me listen to Country music ALL week 🥰💕😎🤭 - turns out he was a Chris Stapleton fan all along - my work is done 🤣

Wishing you all a wonderful Friday and a SUPERB and blessed weekend and hoping you have some treasured family like I do 🥰

💨 Breathe Easy - Work Hard 💨

It’s about time this one featured on our page! We are loving this bad boy and beyond grateful for our MaxVac DB650. We think of it as the happy humming but silent hero keeping our air clean and our team and clients protected.

It tackles the dust we can’t see, so we can stay focused on the job we can (well my eyesight is pretty bad nowadays tbf!! 😆).

As a qualified Health Coach helping tradespeople stay healthy I say ‘Here’s to clean air, clear lungs and getting the job done safely’ We highly recommend this beauty! 🙌
