Painting Update

As scheduled, this morning we met with our site supervisor to have a look at the painting progress and find out what to expect for the next few weeks. The paint colour looks great! It looks either greyish or light beige depending on the light and has a nice warmth to it without looking yellowy or old fashioned. It looks a bit brown in this photo, which is a bit misleading.

Dulux White Duck - Half Strength.
It looks it's warmest here with a North East aspect.
It looks like the painters have set up camp!

The feature wall in the front living area has also been painted. We love the colour and can't wait to see our light coloured lounge in front of it. I think the contrast will be lovely! 

Dulux Malay Grey feature wall to front living room and master bedroom.

Believe it or not the wall on the left in the photo above is the same colour as the wall in the top photo but this room faces South and the light quality is very different. I'm sure the dodgy camera on my HTC One doesn't help! (I take back my comments about user error with the camera in previous posts. It turns out it is a software problem!)

This pendant will go in the room above.

And a couch in this colour - 3 seater with a chaise on the left.

Next week we can expect to see:

• Plumbing fit off for baths, basins taps, toilets etc. We can't wait to see the freestanding bath in place. (I'm not sure if that includes mirrors and shower screens. I think they come a bit later to minimise damage).
• Stone bench tops to kitchen, powder room, main bathroom and ensuite will be installed.
• Electrical fit off. We have to drop all of our light fittings off for the electrician on Wednesday morning and explain where everything goes including the height of the pendants etc. My current office will look double the size when all of those lighting boxes are gone!
• Garage roller doors installed - large at the front and a single at the back.

Also between now and Easter we should see the outside render touched up and painted and the block retaining wall out the back finally done. The brickies have been hard to pin down to a time to come back for that task apparently.

The driveway, carpet and timber flooring are all due by the end of April. Not long to go now!
