So the painters have finally arrived on site!
We had a little hiccup earlier in the week with the colours, but luckily everything has been resolved now. The issue was that we had originally chosen a Dulux colour, 'Gentle Touch (half strength)', for most of the walls in the house. However, the painters use Haymes as their paint supplier, which apparently doesn't tint well with Dulux colours.
Luckily, the painters managed to find a very close match in the Haymes range, so we have now gone with 'Pearl Lustre' instead. It is a very warm, creamy colour which I think will go very nice with the polished floorboards:
 |
| Old Colour: Dulux 'Gentle Touch' |
 |
| New Colour: Haymes 'Pearl Lustre' |
The whole house will be painted in this colour, except for the theatre room which is being painted in Dulux 'Purple Empire'. Apparently, because we only require one room to be painted in Purple Empire, they can switch to Dulux paint without too much hassle.
At the moment, they have just finished the initial undercoating spray, but it does still give a good idea of what the colours will look like in the end:
 |
| Hallway |
 |
| Master bedroom |
 |
| Kitchen |
 |
| Family room |
 |
| Theatre room - looks very blue grey in the picture, but it is actually a bit more purple in real life |
 |
| Looks a lot darker in this shot |
I can't wait to see the tilers get on site; not long to go now! In the meantime, work has already started on our driveway swimming pool...
