{this week i'm grateful for..} paint..

.. Saturday, January 08, 2011
Those that know me would know my slight obsession with painting.. and although I use paint in my screen printing and lino printing, this week it's about the good old household paint..
The painting isles in bunnings are my buddies.. I rarely have to ask for assistance to find what i need.. I've painted on almost any surface possible. I just love how a couple coats of paint refresh and revive..





This week I took a stance.. After donating our office to our little man so he could have a room of his own a couple of years ago.. as far as paperwork goes we have been lost and all over the place. We needed a spot and needed it now!!


I decided that until both hubby's and my workspaces are complete, we would dedicate a corner of our bedroom to an office area.. So out came the paint..


I didn't want to purchase any furniture for a temporary space but I am somewhat anal about things matching.. So I attacked an old wood desk with white paint to match our bedroom furniture and TaDa!! We HAVE an office!!!


Oh paint how I love you!!
PS.. A bunnings visit was not necessary as I have a good amount of paint stock for various projects already premixed in my all time favourite paint colour.. Dulux - Whisper White

    I've just found you via Maxabella. Lovely blog you have!
    I too love paint, especially it's ability to transform something ordinary into a beautiful item/room that matches your personality. And if that personality changes, there's 1,000's of others just waiting for you to try on!!!

    I have so much painting that I need to make a start on around the place... I just hate all the prep work! It scares me into procrastination mode.

    Your office looks terrific. Very serene. x

    Oh clever painting ideas but not sure i could handle the paperwork in the boudoir!! I loathe paperwork, filing, eeww, would rather be sewing. You've done a great job & sure your boy will love his new room. Love Posie

    It's so important to have that space, isn't it? And I love what a coat of paint can do.
