Paint paint.....

Well Hey There!! Slightly longer pause between posts than I anticipated but that is life around here really...nothing is quite as planned. Ever. Anyhoo, we have had a couple of weeks of noise school holidays but the kids are now back in normal routine and I have a spare 5 minutes bit of time to do a few extra things...kind of.
So, there have been quite a few projects going on around here...nothing overly major, just my usual half-started half-finished kind of stuff, over ambitious plans and the odd adopting of a stray lamb etc...yep, just the usual. I thought I'd show you one of my more recent projects and this one I can proudly tell you is finished!! It's a painting project. A dark painting project. A flippin fantastic I love it so much painting project that I am sensing will soon be repeated elsewhere in the house...

Ok, so here is a before shot. It's one I've dragged out of the blog archives as I was, of course, too excited to think of snapping one before I started...

                                                                                 
                                                                                   
Oh gosh this is such a poor pic to show you and indeed it is nowhere near Easter time but let's all just look past the eggs and focus on the WALL. Yep, we are about to attack this unsuspecting greigey coloured wall...ready??
Sneak peek.....

                                                                                 


And ta da.........

                                                                                 


You like? I luuurrve!! It has totally warmed the room up and spunked things up abit too...always a good thing I say. I used the colour Stormy Destiny (hhhmmm hope that doesn't lead to anything......) by Accent. It's not quite black, more a yummy dark charcoal shade.

                                                                                   


Yep, these guys are pretty impressed with my painting too I think...
I'm thinking the kitchen chimney may be next on my list of prey...it runs adjacent to the living room one and I think it will pull the two areas together nicely. Plus I just want to slap some more of that lovely paint about....

                                                                                 

Well that's it from us today....obviously exhausting work this blogging caper...

See you next time lovelies.....
