Before and After! I wanted to get the "grey" bedroom painted over the Easter weekend. It was dull and dingy with awful grey striped wallpaper and curtains. We wanted to have Buttermilk (pale yellow) and blue and in January 2005 I found blue curtains on sale at Bunnings. Peter at Rezene Porirua, mixed up the blue paint for us and got an exact match - we were so pleased!
Friday we stripped the wallpaper, Saturday morning we picked up the paint and came home to wash the walls. Sunday morning after finding what the Easter Bunny had hidden, we were able to put the first coat of Buttermilk in the bedroom and Barley white in the passageway. After a lovely bbq lunch, Adrian and I went and did the second coat in each room. Monday morning we put on the first coat of "Engelbrecht Blue" and in the afternoon we put on the second coat. Then the worst job of all - cleaning up!
We are so pleased as it looks fantastic! Slowly our house is taking on a new lease of life with the painting we are doing.
