Paint!

Happy Tuesday, from rainy Brisbane!

As promised, here are some paint photos for you.  The painters just started on the gloss trims yesterday, so some of these pics have the trims done and others not.  I may have mentioned previously that I much prefer Taubmans' range of taupes and greys to Dulux's offerings (builder's preference), but I think we hit the nail on the head with our selection, so we're very happy.

Study - need to get some serious greenery happening outside that window! 

The entry hall

The Playroom - currently 'the room of doors!'  (Oh, and a curly head!)

Master Bedroom

And, just as a little teaser, here are some 'before' shots of the projects we've been working on over the last week.

An old wicker basket

A $37.88 eBay 'win'

The painters are due to finish tomorrow, fingers crossed.  I'm looking very forward to seeing the front door stained.

The closer this house gets, the slower time seems to move!

Bargain buys!

Who doesn't start window shopping as soon as they start planning their new house?

I thought I'd share a couple of anticipatory purchases with you.

We bought this coffee table on Friday at a Domayne Warehouse Sale.  RRP: $699  Buy price: $200!!

It needs to be cleaned up, and of course there are a few chips, but it is for the Playroom, so it is perfect.

And I have collected a few black bits and pieces for the Study, which will have a light blue, charcoal and black scheme.  Everything you see here was discounted.  Good times!

Do you like a bargain?  What do you do with your furniture and homewares 'stash' while you're building?
