Artist in residence

Wow, what a busy day I had today!  Left home at 8.30 and got home at 4, but much was achieved!

Went down to the house to wait for the carpet to be measured, the outside blinds, and for the inside curtains and blinds.   All this while our great painters were continuing on with their work.

Here's some pics:

Here's the start of the feature in the family room Dulux Nomad

And here's the finish!!

Megan's comment on seeing it - Oh Wow Cool!!!


Spiced Nutmeg in the Master


Very happy with the Sandy Day half & Antique White USA


Loving that fireplace even more!!

Just started on the gable painting


Undercoat on the verandah posts

The rest of the day was in the car calling into Bunnings to get some packing tape, butchers paper etc. ready for the boxes which are coming on Saturday morning.   Then a trip to Reece to get the basin spouts which I had completely overlooked for the two bathrooms (had to pay full price for these - son no longer employed by them :(  !!!!  ).

Then while managing to fit in a bit of lunch at Fountain Gate received an  email from Romeo advising that the construction of our house should be completed by early December, providing all goes to plan!!!!  

That is about 6 weeks from now - heck, hence the need to get boxes and start packing this weekend.

Only jobs left to do are a visit to Sharon's Curtains on Tuesday to select fabrics for curtains/romans, and we are out and about on Saturday to Mentone pre-mix to look at exposed aggregate for the driveway etc.

What a productive day, getting excited now  :)

Wow Janine, the colours look great. I love the look of the fireplace too! I bet the next six weeks will fly by.

BIG DAY!
with bigger six coming up!!
Might have to pack and unpack the Xmas Tree real quick.

Paint colours look fantastic; Sandy Day 1/2, picture frame just love it. Feature walls; especially Nutmeg and Nomad compliment beautifully. Megan must be so excited with her room.

How inconsiderate of your son to change jobs!!! and you were happy with Sharon's - wonder where my commission cheque is??

Roll on early December eh!
