Hall Art Work

Mrs B 's Hall Way

I love my passage way. It is wide, spacious and a sense of welcome when you walk into the house. We have a bulk head that runs down the center. This art work is new and made by Mr B...gotta love arty people in the family who can make things like frames! if you haven't already guessed, the material is from IKEA and total cost $4.95. Mr B already had wood to make the frame so all he had to do was to add backing and stretch the fabric over it. It is massive and makes me smile every time I walk by. If we need to change it, very easy to buy some more fabric and instant artwork on your wall. This is just so effective and covers big, wide walls that are hard to fill.

Gees it feels good blogging again. Please come back and visit, so many updates to fill you in on.

Painting begins...

Hooray! Painting began on Christmas eve and now the painters are back straight after Christmas, thank you guys! The colour is Antique White USA and it is such a beautiful creamy white, exactly what I wanted. I can just imagine my house now....beautiful polished blackbutt flooring, crisp clean white walls, colourful art work splattered around the house, my new green couch with contrasting cushions and ottoman and my fireplaces in! After 15 months of this house build and still going I think I will allow myself the luxury of dreaming how my house is going to look...sigh

The photos are of the walls with just one coat of paint sprayed on. Not bad coverage I must admit. The painters will come back and paint the second coat.

Beginning to paint...

First picture is the entrance of my walk in shower. Walls have been grouted but not the floors in this bathroom. second picture is a glimpse of the boys bathroom. To me it looks so calm and serene.

As you can see, the painters have put strips of brown paper everywhere. These pictures you can see a nice wide hallway. On the right hand wall will be my children's art gallery. I have collected some beautiful artwork they have done at school and intend to hang their pictures in white frames.

Just came back from the house and was very happy to see two of the workers preparing the house to be painted. Plastic sheets cover all the windows and sheets of brown paper underneath all the architraves. The head painter was there and he told us it will be painted on Wednesday (Christmas eve) talking about leaving things to the last minute but as long as it is done I don't really mind. Hopefully I will be able to take some more pictures after it has been painted...it will look more like a home not a building site!
