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 345 - Flooring prep

Before the new floor could be fitted we had to take up the old floor in the Kitchen/Diner.

So here's some pics of how it looked


The boxing in around the kitchen unit was fitted on top of the old flooring so it had to taken off.  Another job to add to the carpentry list

Day 252 - Curses!

The reason the builder's havent used the new flooring we bought to fill in the area in the dining room where the boiler cupboard was?


It doesn't match!

The reason we managed to accidentally buy the wrong colour flooring?

IKEA don't make the beech flooring that I have anymore - oh heck...

Unfortunately I think this means we have to replace the entire floor in the kitchen and dining room - bugger.

Day 188 - Kitchen Ceiling

Something to do with new electrics - good job this is getting replaced!
