RENOVATION WORK- Part 3 
Painting

We have decided to paint the house ourselves! I think we should be able to handle the painting since it is a new flat and we can also get to choose the better quality of paint. We have decided the colour during the weekdays and spent of one of weekend for painting. 

We have earlier invited a fengshui master to our house and advise us on the colours and layout of the house. We will paint one of walls in living room and dining room grey. Cream colour for both study and my mum's room. Maybe dark blue for one of the walls for master bedroom. 

There are so many shades of white to choose from. We bought the painting tools and paint from one of the painting shop at AMK.

We are Nippon painters! Let's start painting. :jammin:

Yeah, we are done with painting and this is final product. It is not bad but it is different what I thought it will be. Initially, I wanted light shades of grey but we went to choose a more greyish blue. The greyish blue is so much darker and I was so worry that it will not turn out well. My phone can't really capture the real From the picture it looks so grey but it actually more bluish in real life. We haven peel off the masking tape on the ceiling it looks not so straight in the picture. I like the white colour we choose. It looks so white! I love white :lol:

Everything looks very smooth but in facts there are some hiccups during the process for painting. The walls for the study room and master bedroom actually became watery and there are small bubbles appeared on the wall.:o 
We had no choice but to scrap off the whole patch. Maybe we need to seek some help from the experts in rectifying this!!! :(

Another issue is the cream colour of the walls for the common bedroom and studyroom appears too yellowish for my liking! :bangwall:
It is very contrasting with the white walls in the living room. I was so tempted to repaint the whole thing but my husband say it will look fine with furnishing. I really hope so. 

Overall, we had great sense of achievement for painting the house and contributing to building our desire home! If you have time to spare, you may want to do your part by painting the house. 

Hello!

Love the colour of the blueish grey paint, can i know the colour code?

TIA

Hi, It's from Hafary. Less than $3 psf (excluding GST). Sorry i don't know how many pieces can use the the whole toilet as we only overlay one wall. Maybe you would like to check with you contractor or ID on that. 


I think you may have mistaken the picture as my toilet.

Hello Blue8179, 
Nooooooo.:o Our brickwall is only 2m+ and it costs about $1k plus. At first we wanted to do a 4m brickwall but it is too expensive. :D
