Painting, painting and...... more painting!

This is the biggest paint job we have ever done. It shocked us that it took over 4 weeks just to prep the entire top floor. Being old there was so much to clean, scrape and putty. 

We decided to spray paint every room, then go back through and brush on the gloss onto the trim. It took a week alone to just thoroughly tape everything off. We got the spray painting done in 3 very long days and we are still at it with the gloss paint now.










Almost every window had to be tuned up, as many had been painted shut or too swollen to open easily

Resting the aching back and checking our work



We set up a little door painting warehouse

Tile ideas...

I'm still scoping out tiles for the kitchen splash back and for the bathrooms. I liked looking at the new renovations at Garden City Shopping Center. I took a few shots of ideas I liked...




Have always loved breeze blocks and they will definitely be used somewhere around our house eventually.
