Downstairs is done...

So its day 3 and my poor hubby has been sleeping on a blow up mattress in the new house while I stay at the reno house with DS in our comfortable home.......although I can't wait to move.

He has been painting day and night without any interruptions and we get to drop by with his meals and see the exciting new painted walls.

Today our downstairs has been completely painted and I got to see it when we dropped by with dinner for the hardest working husband on this day.

So without further adieu here is the highlight colour for our living area.

Dulux Ploughed Earth

From many angles

I don't know how but DS is colour co-ordinated with the kitchen.

These photos were all taken on my phone so not the best quality and its night time but its a great start.

Did I mention I love it.

YUMMY TOP COAT

So when we decided on our all over paint colour we had to consider the impact from a few different views.

We were very aware that this colour would be viewed next to our bench tops, overhead cabinets, exterior render, curtains and blinds and floors....so a lot of serious consideration.

Then came hubby's other twitching moment when I announced I wanted to paint 1 side of the kitchen in whole different colour and thread it through the lounge/dining area as well....

He is so patient and understanding and I think actually takes on the same level of excitement when we come to our final decision.

The funniest thing was his eyes widening when he starting painting the all over colour on the walls.

He of course is painting a beige on white plaster and was convinced it was way to dark, as any colour looks against white.

Yes it appears that way until you paint all the walls and it drys.

He is aware of all these things but he momentarily freaked out.

My walls are Dulux Buff It 100% and the feature will be Dulux Ploughed Earth 100%

We previously had Dulux Ecru 100% and I liked it alot.

First thoughts on this new colour is I love, I love it, I love it.

Its like a better version of the Ecru. This wall in the middle will be separating our Living and Dining areas and will be the same feature colour as the wall that the pantry and the fridge will be on in the kitchen.

The colour is dark enough to appear like the overhead feature cabinet colour is running all the way around the kitchen.

I can't wait to see the final outcome with this look.
