Day 367 - Awesome paint colour

I took this photo in an attempt to capture the wonder of the paint we finally chose. It may have taken no less than 34 sample pots (over 5 litres of paint) to find the right one - oddly the colour we chose was the only one I had bought 2 samples of - but we are so happy with how it turned out. The colour is modern, neutral but not bland and changes wonderfully with the light.

This picture is an attempt to show that - each of the three walls you can see (left, right and the sliver through into our bedroom) are the same colour but look pleasingly different.



Now, what to do with those 34 tester pots?! My gut feel is mix them all together in a big tin and paint Ern's kitchen with it!

Oh and notice the Day on the post title - we tipped over a year!!

Day 302- The Painters are in!

The decorators are in and going great guns. Milan has a team of 2 guys with him and they've been working long days (till gone 7 some nights) and it shows.

Unfortunately now they've finished upstairs and moved downstairs where the builders are and everyone is getting in everyone else's way, so we've agreed that the decorators will come back a week on Monday to finish off.

Overall we're very happy with their work and happy with the paint colour choice we finally made. Over 30 tester pots were involved in the decision - we joked that if we mixed all 30 together (close to 5 litres) we'd have the ideal colour!
