Painting and Garage Door

This week (w/c 30th Nov), the painting has started. We were a bit unsure whether the colour would be too dark on a large area. We had a really lovely painter who said that he would paint the ceilings and the insides of our cupboards on the first day to give us and idea of what it was going to look like. If it was too dark he said that we could use half strength or something.

Anyway, when we went to look at the cupboards we were happy to see that it was just the look we were going for. The colour is DEEP, but not too dark. Also, with all the white from the skirtings and architraves (so glad we got the bigger sizes) it ofsets the wall colour. Yay! Very happy :)

Also, the garage door has been put on, but I don't think I have shown any pics yet as it was always up when I was at the house. Here is a pic of our garage door.

Here are some preliminary pictures of our painting so you can get the gist of what we are going for. It will be a bit different when we are finished - hopefully more even :)

Great to see the paint blends in with the kitchen colours.

The sunroom.

The site supervisor spoke to Jason yesterday. The painting should be finished by the end of next week. The patio is now going on next Tuesday. They are trying to get the lights installed and all of the rest of the finishes (taps and appliances etc.) done before Christmas. This means that all they will have to do after the Christmas break, is the clean and fixing of any defects. Then we can move in - still crossing everything for the end of January. YIPEEEEEEE!!!!!
