Newly painted living room

 

*

I have mentioned before that we love to spend our holiday active and that means actively doing something for example here is around the house. It was already planned last year that this summer we have to pain the walls in living room, just to have some refreshments and to give another warm colour

So everything was ready, we bought a lot of different sizes of paint rollers, brushes and of course paint, we decided to buy a colour that is called "Cashmere" it is something like very light beige with a bit of yellowish tone, nice and soft.

 

First to empty the room

 

So we decided to choose Saturday, the 15th of June for our work. In order to make your painting easier you should make sure that you removed as many objects out of the room as possible and if there are some heavy objects left like for example, our sofa or carpets, then you have to make sure that you cover them thoroughly and also move them to the middle, away from walls.

You can see the shadows prints after the pictures were removed from walls only then it is obvious how much dust is impregnated into wall paper and it definitely needs a new paint.

Now the same wall but after the first layer of colour and you can see that the wall looks clear than before. You can see that the ceiling is still half way painted.

Now the ceiling is also painted, so we have the smooth cover for both walls and ceiling.

Lunch break: time for Grill!

 

After finishing painting the second time, all the walls and ceiling our pots with paints were empty and we were tired but satisfied. Of course, it is difficult to know how the colour will be looking in the morning and if we need more paints for some areas.

But as you might know the work never finishes and we need to have to break but also to have lunch, our lunch was at 4PM because we did not want to do any other work after eating.

In order to make it easier we decided to grill some sausages, potato salad, some bread buns that was easiest way to prepare quick food.

We bought an electric griller last year and it is absolutely great, quick and the taste is the same like when you do grill on fire.

The decision was influenced by the fact that using wood coal we found that there are often tropical wood and that often many countries from developing world using their trees for grilling coal for for example European countries. That completely changed our attitude and we decided to use electric grill.

Here how it looks like, you can control the volume of heat and also you can just keep the meat on low power just to keep it warm.

Well done, the food and beer is a nice treat :) Have a nice week greetings from Norway :)

We are glad that we finished within a week because wanted to have some rest too. But on other hand we were very satisfied with result. By the way, what is noticeable that paints and materials for renovations are much more expensive than last year.
