Hi guys, We're almost at plaster stage and would like to do some interesting features with the plaster by indenting it in some some parts of the wall and placing halogen lights. I've seen it done in display homes where they place in plaques or vases in the indents - it's a really nice touch! Only thing is I want to do more research on it - does ANYONE know the correct terminology so I know what I'm searching? Anyone have any interesting ideas or inspiration??? |

OMG kek, what is the wall colour on those pics please, it's beaut (please somebody send me a pretty drooling emoticon ) I hope it's not just the camera and the monitor ... I'm planning to repaint certain (formal) rooms in something like that after h/over. |

lamoos25 kek I really love your bathroom tiles, what colour are they if you don't mind me drawing some inspiration from you???? Not sure which tiles you mean ...they're all from National Tiles - the main ones on floor, shower walls and bath hob are Kimberley Smoke, the feature tiles on the splashbacks I really can't remember now. The pale green ones in the kids' bathroom are glass though, a bit exxy but not a big deal if you're only using a small amount. mb@147a Kek could you please tell me the dimensions of your kids' bathroom niche? I love the proportions!! I just looked it up and it's 300mm high x 1500mm wide x 180mm deep. You could tile it, but we chose not to. I had to make it clear to my youngest that it wasn't for the display of Lego men, Star Wars figurines or whatever else he chose to play with in the bath... Lex OMG kek, what is the wall colour on those pics please, it's beaut (please somebody send me a pretty drooling emoticon ) I hope it's not just the camera and the monitor ... I'm planning to repaint certain (formal) rooms in something like that after h/over. OK...bathrooms are Wattyl Fortune, and the kitchen is Wattyl Castilian. The Castilian looks darker and a bit purpley in the pic, but it's really not... It's a dark beige with a slight greenish hue. That sounds disgusting. |
