Finally up to painting

Jo K · Feb 01, 2008 5:16 pm

Hi Michelle,

We have finally reached the stage where the painter is going to do the first 2 coats on our walls.

Colour selections you have helped me select so far:

Wall/ceiling paint colour- China White
Kitchen cupboards - moleskin (laminex)
Island bench side/front panels - peruvian clay
Benchtop - Pebble Cove (Quantum Quartz)
Floorboards- Sydney Blue Gum

Bathroom Vanity cupboard - stipple seal (laminex)
Vanity top - Natural Quart (laminex)
Wall tile - white
Floor tile - beige
Feature tile - rolled mable (beige/grey tones)

We are using the China White throughout - do you think I should go for that on doors, skirting boards etc as well in a gloss, or go for a contrast with half stength, or a lighter colour?

Also, we've decided to tile the bathroom & ensuite to the ceiling, but only going 1.2m in powder room & toilet. Wall tile is white so shall I paint wall in pure white or stick with China White.

Bit over the building process at the moment & starting to think about artwork already - love the kanvas site & thinking some of the prints in the red tones look great........... :lol:

, can't wait!

Hi Jo K….moving on with it now….shouldn‘t be too long before you’re in!!!!

Since you are using a pure white tile in the bathroom, I would now change your ceiling colour to “pure white” throughout your home!

This keeps all ceiling colours the same.

Now we move into the bathroom with the white tiles….paint this space pure white as well, this is why we need all the ceilings in pure white. So from the top of the white tile to the ceiling will all be one colour!

It’s ok to change wall colours in the bathroom I do this a lot as most people use a white tile somewhere in a wet area. But it’s NOT ok (to me) to change the ceiling colour in this space!

Very tacky. :shock:

I’ll check over your selections again for you…let you know later.

I have a photo I took today of a clients unit, I told her about Kanvas Art, so she bought a print, I’ll post it later for you……it will look stunning when she gets it up! I love it.

Thanks Michelle,

Will definetely use pure white on ceiling in bathrooms & walls in powder room & toilet.

Don't think I will be able to convince hubby to change ceilings throughout the house to pure white now though - he is set on having the China White on walls & ceiling. Something along the lines of "I thought we already had this all sorted!!!"

About to head out for some Friday night drinks

, will check back in later!

I’m still really happy with the above selections…..make sure you post photos when you’re your finished.

Very nice! :wink:

Thanks Michelle,

Still really happy with all the selections - I gather we should stick to the China White for doors etc?

Thanks for posting the print as well - don't worry I'm sure I'll be back to ask your opinion on prints etc when it all gets a bit closer.

I'll try and post some pictures over the weekend, just having all the gyprock & flushing finished makes it easier to picture everything.

Sorry Jo…I forgot about the doors and such. :oops:

Yes, all doors, skirts, arcks, window frames…ect in Chine White full gloss!

By leaving it all the one colour, gives you a blank canvas to add colour in other areas!

Kanvas Art!!!!
