More Painting

On the last lap now ... with painting of the front master bedroom, done much more expertly and speedily than we were doing it!

 

The new cupboards dissolve into white and a lick of paint makes the extended chimney disappear.  Some fancy wallpaper will adorn that wall.  We have used up some of the greyish paint left over in this room and did try to dilute it with white (spun in the machine at Travis Perkins), but am not sure the change in shade is discernible!  Soon, you never know, we might even have a finished house ... we might actually sleep in this room!

Polish Painting

Painting makes such a difference!  Thank you to Daniel and his team from Poland, borrowed from our neighbour, for this great speedy finish downstairs and in the hall.  Unfortunately the rest may have to be done by the householder!

Painting Issues

So we had a debate about the colour of our house.  D wanted "African Daisy blue" supported only by a random passer by; everyone else (including all the builders) went for "Swansdown green". So here is the result.  Do colour charts lie? 

 

In close up you can see the difference in colour between the  white frames and features and the Swansdown pebbledash, but it's less obvious from afar.  The result is all right (and all white in my opinion without a lisp!) so is there a case for changing to something more striking? Even at £52 a pot, as Tim the exasperated builder reminds us!  I think so!!!!  Who wants to fade into the background?  dt

Outside Painting

 

Despite summer wind and rain, a brave and agile man called "Kola" has now painted the outside of the house on the first floor.
