Colours

The colours chosen for the lounge/dining room and entry hallway are:

Walls - Wattyl Snowdownia (3/4 strength)
Skirtings - Dulux Vivid White semi-gloss (aquanamel)
Ceilings - Dulux Once Ceiling White (flat white)

Here is a picture of the Wattyl Snowdownia as used by Josh and Jenna in their house on The Block 2011.



And here is the colour as it translates on my very own lounge room wall! What do you think? Do you like this colour or have I made a big mistake? Time will tell and only when the rooms fully 'come together.'

Before pictures of lounge/dining/entry hallway

It's been a while since I've written on my blog, sorry for neglecting to post but I have been extremely busy with home life and trying to finish our painting of the lounge/dining/hallway space.  I can report that basically the walls and ceilings are done in these rooms (touch ups required though ) and I have started painting our skirtings in the lounge/hallway. 

Here are some BEFORE pics of the lounge/dining room and hallway.

Lounge room: New lighting was installed in our home roughly 2-3yrs ago. An old box airconditioner was removed left of fireplace (see white patch on the wall) and a single wall sconce was also removed from the right.  Beyond the squared off arch is the dining room.


Lounge room: beyond the square archway is the dining room.


Lounge room: opposite end of the room. Our small entry hallway is just off this room.


Lounge room: different angle - you can see the front door and small entry hallway.


Hallway: just opposite the front door (pic taken Xmas 2010)
