The lounge - a work in progress...still !

10 March 2011

Good things take time...
but I'm so impatient!!

I added the colour monastery to my wall...
I loved the colour...
but the room was boring...
everything was brown...
different shades of brown...
the carpet
the lounge suite
the walls
the blinds
all......brown!

So..
I painted an assortment of frames....
added some photos and prints...
it was slightly better...
but still boring.

So...
(and I thank Janelle here....for planting the seed)
I added  colour to some furniture...
our brown side table....now duck egg blue (or Wattyl Magica Marina)
and a coffee table in the same colour...still drying in the shed.


 I think it already looks an improvement...
cant wait to make a quilt....and some quirky cushions to complete the look.

However....I think Ive had the most hectic days off ever !

In four days Ive painted the lounge, the laundry and a wall in the kitchen.
Ive painted a side cupboard  and a coffee table.
and an assortment of frames.
Ive also painted a coat rack for the laundry..
Made curtains for the glass in the laundry door
and cleaned the house from top to bottom.
Back to work in the morning....exhausted but content with that feeling of achievement.

    Really love the aqua touches in the lounge room, they really lift it.
