Gutters are off and then it rains!!!

I had the roofing guys take off my gutters yesterday, so I could get the fascia boards painted before the new roof and guttering goes on. Then it decides to rain (heavily!!) and now water is leaking in through one of my lounge room windows :( ...... Not my wisest decision ever.

However if things dry up the painter will be coming in four days and hopefully the roofer a day or two later. I have chosen Colourbond Dune for the roof and Colourbond Woodland Grey for the gutters / fascia boards. Hopefully no more leaks next weekend!!!

Lounge room nearly painted!!

Well after many days of work on my lounge room, I am pleased to report that it is nearly painted!!. Yay!!! I will be able to move my lounge suite from the hall back into the right room. I ended up deciding on Dulux Natural White for the walls (as per my house in the magazine) and the trim in Wattyl Whiteweave (half strength) in a glossy enamel paint. I can't believe how much cleaner and brighter it looks. Pity about the blue and yellow of the kitchen in the background. Tomorrow there is the windows and doors to tackle, and a bit more gloss for the trim....

I have also bought all my bathroom supplies at Reece during their May sale - will delivered at the end of June.

The joys of undercoating

Over the labour day weekend and this weekend, I have been gap filling my tongue and groove boards, sanding, deflaking, and undercoating my lounge room. Just too much mental stimulation!! I don't think I will have quite enough undercoat for that flawless finish - so another trip to the paint store next weekend.

The pressure is on now to decide on paint colours so I can finish the room properly. I have put together a mood board to help my out.

I found a colour scheme I like in an House and Garden magazine. The architect's website is http://www.sharonfraserarchitects.com.au/sharon.html . Follouw "Projects" then "Byron Bay", then "Federal House".
