I'm finally getting some DIY jobs done. When I painted the kitchen I left out the splashback behind the gas hob, planning to tile it with some black mosaic tiles I've had for years. I even bought black grout as black-on-black is rather trendy. But it's too time consuming in my current circumstances so I'm just painting it and putting the heatproof glass splashback back up. I'll keep the black tiles and grout for my next house.
The plaster was still bare so I did 2 coats of white this morning and then will probably do 2 or 3 coats of my Heart Wood colour. I love this colour but it's a real pain to do decent cutting in around the cream units. It's all a bit messy and I'll need to spend a lot of time neatening it all up.
Edited to add finished photo:
It's not great as the wall isn't flat making the screws stick out but it's done. Just don't look too closely!
Love the colour-makes me think of hot chocolate. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt's a difficult colour to photograph. Sort of dusky pink with brown tones. It's really nice :-)
DeleteWell done! I remember back when Betty was a puppy, it was so hard to get anything done as she needed watching all the time, and husband hadn't retired from work then. I had to wait until she fell into an exhausted sleep before I could do any housework!
ReplyDeleteOh Luna needs a lot of watching as she can find mischief in a paper bag!! But I do get snatches of peace to get wee jobs done! :-)
DeleteHey that is the colour I painted my dining room and living room.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's a lovely colour isn't it? I'll definitely use it again in my next house! :-)
DeleteIt looks lovely, another job to tick off that list towards the house sale. You've helped me make up my mind for sure, no more puppies or kittens for us, they are far too time consuming. Our old ladies just sleep, sleep and eat ... then sleep again, so much easier to work around.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's what Emma does. She's 12 next month!! As much as love my Luna she is very hard work and definitely my last dog (although I said that about Emma!!) :-)
