i know it looks grey - was very hard to photograph - but the colour is actually a "cool" tone brown. it looks grey in some lights and cool brown in others. goes with absolutely everything but still looks modern - which was the idea since we plan to sell in around 3 years. looks fantastic with...

photos okay - they are of two different rooms, but they do show the before and after colour. very hard to photograph due to light coming in the windows (and trying to keep the pile to displaced items out of the photo). p.s. the before are the yellow walls - just in case some one really...

yuck! double tint came out a very insipid blue! instead of a warm grey i've decided to go with a cool tone brown ... hence painted now in beige royal and looks fantastic against the white. ahhhh - happy now

well, spent the last two days painting decorative ceilings - all brush job trying to "swizzle" the paint into the pears, grapes and apples. only 3 more rooms to go!!:o p.s how does one get their house on that show (that i love to watch via internet)

i loved it from the first - hubby hates it. some things in life are not worth arguing over. although they don't seem to have much cupboard space or drawers. that's one thing i notice about the show - the home owner might have shelves and shelves of books (like me) that are not catered for...

oh - missed this bit. on the merewether flats sort of towards the junction way. thanks for all the tips. i mixed the grey to a half tint (added white) and painted again, but now it looks a lot cooler colour - so think a warmer light/mid grey might be the go. just have to be careful it's...

yes - back in the land of the living ... although did have to shack in with the inlaws for a couple of months while buying this place. we kept the half renovated previous ppor (the one with the much missed ocean views and lots of sun) and rented it out, and the tenants were still on lease so...

looks like it's off to the hardware shop for some sample pots (again) - might have a rummage in the shed first tho.

well - here is the new project. red brick with return verandah, built around the 1930's, polished timber floors, cast iron fireplaces and lovely stained glass windows (example below). i'm in a head screw about the interior paint colours and am after some opinions - i've already choosen the...
