Ceiling & Wall Complete & Exhaust fan Fitted


Hi All,

Thanks for view the latest pics and info, this weekend its been very bust getting the painting complete and finding a exhaust fan to suit nice and sleek...

Well everything went to plan this weekend and finally got some serious paint on the walls and ceiling.

Ceiling is Solver - Ceiling White - simple flat colour

Wall - Matching to Kitchen Laminex White - Low Sheen

All the Skirtinng and Door jams and surroundings will be Laminex White - Full Gloss to enhance the areas from the walls "This has not been complete yet - will do once kitchen is installed.

Anyways here is the latest photo of the kitchen from tonight

If you can all give me some feed back on the Venetian post that i posted this evening that be much appreciated

Woot Woot, not long now!!!

Ceiling & Room Undercoated - Paint Stage 1

Hey Guys,

Back again with some more pics to show the progress, been so busy and forgot to post some updates, but tonight i have a bit of time before the mad rush this weekend as the Kitchen install happens this March Wednesday 2rd, 3rd & 4th... Well i just did 2 coats of Solver Undercoat Sealer for all the repair work on the dry wall for the ceiling and gyprock section of the old splash back and sink area.

Tomorrow i will x-cross checking any imperfections and if i see anything that is worth giving some love to i shall adress, but for now please enjoy the recent photos.

Cheers
Frankie & Allie

Electrical Re-Deirected - Pt 1


Since i work Clipsal Australia - Ill be using the Classy Modern look of the Saturn Range - The front lounge and kitchen lights will have the nice Ocean Mist with the LED feature and also the Ocean Mist Power Sockets for the Splashback - Nice touch to dress up the downstairs area.




Goodmoring Saturday, today's challenge was to re-direct the New wiring for new appliances once fitted when the kitchen goes in... Thanks to a great Family friend, we both completed stage one within a few hours.

The rest of the day was more Plastering, and as you can see in the photo - the 2 x air vents at the top on the window side have been filled to eliminate boog boogies "Spiders of the outside world" LOL Also today we removed the exhaust fan and thank god that has visited the bin, because there was enough grease and oil to run a fish and chip shop!!!!

Tomorrow i shall give the walls another rub down and hopefully from the plastering i did today it will be ready for primer in a weeks time!

Till then enjoy!

False Ceiling - Stage 1

Bit of Patching going on where the old Tilled splash back went, here i wont be too fussy as the new splash back will hide most imperfections!!! Once kitchen is installed choosing the splash back will be a challenge but i have a rough idea on what we both want. Lets just say "White on White" is looking very popular.

Where the exposed side pillars, now filled with plaster, its taking shape as if it was meant to be. Just need a bit more love and then ready for a coat of primer and paint!

The decision at first was to clean of the pop-corn style ceiling, but knowing that the slabs of concrete ceiling was not going to be even we decide to drop the ceiling by 35mm and introduce a new ceiling of gyprock. The cornice used will be Shadow line by Gyprock Australia - going for a moder clean fresh look that will transform old technology into new of the future.

Closer view of the 70mm x 35mm x 3.8m pine batterns, not pad price from Bunnings only $10ea for 4.2meter lengths. As you can also see the ugly ceiling which is carried right through into the lounge. The lounge will be done after the kitchen has been complete.
