Our house, renovation project.

Last week the settlement came through and we are officially house owners.
As it is a renovation project we need to work on it as much as possible so that we can move in as soon as possible. So hope you like renovation photos, because it's going to be a lot of it from now on.

We started renovating this weekend, and I can tell you right now, it is hard work. The house needs so much work and it is hard to know where to start. It's almost impossible to calculate when it will be ready for us to move in, and we might have to move in before it is in the state we want it in.

We decided to focus on the bedrooms, for us to move in quicker and we started on it straight away. We started fixing all the holes in the walls and preping it for painting. We decided on the wall colour after a bit back and forth to the store. We ended up buying 3 colour samples and of cours 3 was our lucky number.

I took a photo of our sample wall, although it's hard to see the different colours on this picture.

Please keep in mind the photo makes the colours look lighter than they actually are. And the horrid colour around (the yellow) is the clolour the old owners had in their living room.

The first colour we tried was a bit purple and it's the sample on top right. After that we tried a green ish colour which you can see on the left side. The colour we ended up choosing  is a cold white, with a bit of blue in it. You can see this colour underneath the first colour on the right side.

If you look closely you might si a TINY square with a blue colour just left of the tile, which will be the colour for our feature wall behind the TV in the living room and behind our bed in our bedroom.

We already had purchased the tiles before settlement day, risky but it worked out. In order to see how they will look like in this house, we set them up in a corner. Looks nice hey? 

I will write soon!
