Olympic havoc

Loving the Olympic spirit in the city at the moment. So thought we'd fly the flag for our Aussie team... 

All together now...

"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie...

Oi, oi, oi!"

Hallway havoc

A big double height hallway = lots of light.

And lots of paint 

And lots of carpet

And lots of time!

After the bathroom was re-done, our builder got started on re-plastering our huge hallway. Then we waited, and waited, and waited for the plaster to dry. 

Then we put off painting it for quite a few weeks, cause every time we looked at it - we got scared!

Finally, all painted and (almost) done, here are a few pics. 

Left to right (top): before, yellowed walls; during, pink plaster walls; plaster drying. Left to right (bottom) where the cupboard once was; some wallpaper we found under the cupboard; and painting whilst hanging off a ladder!

After a lot of paint, a lot of carpet (and a burst water pipe before it was installed!), we have a bright white hallway, and a few accessories.

So, it's getting there. Still lots of space to be filled with artwork, I have ideas... watch this space!
