We ordered a set of 20 photo frames to go on the yellow wall in the hallway, these we have put up...now we just have to decied what photos to put in them. We had planned to use pics from our overseas holidays till we realised that most of the photos Tony took he took in landscape, while 90% of the frames are in portrait, so, as yet we haven't decided what to do about it, also what we thought was an A4 frame in fact turns out to be slightly larger, the same thing happened with the next size down...the frame is slightly larger than a 5 x 7" photo....at least the bulk of the frames will support a 4 x 6" pic.
We have gradually been painting all the rooms with the semi gloss acrylic to go over the low sheen paint the house came with...its not something we are rushing to get done.
We have painted the ornate parts of the columns near the lounge...so now they are the same colour as the skirting boards and the architraves...looks so much better.
Also our wardrobe insert for the craft room finally arrived...this should be an easy job as this one was hanging space and 3 sets of shelves....hmmm...how wrong can you get. Instead of having to go down to Warrnambool to pick up the pieces, they are now sending the jobs to other factories for you to pick up...depending on where you live. Turns out that we were the first job for this factory and the cutting info they were sent was wrong.
We built the robe only to have the shelves fall down as the dividers were not aligned...hmmmm, then the hanging rod was too long...so we remeasured...what the...the two end divisions were wrong...in fact they had made them the measurements of the other end????
Finally after dismantling the whole thing we realised that the top shelf (which holds it all together) had had its edging put on the back and not the front of the shelf. Easy fixed, back to the factory we went and they put a new edge on for us....then it came together very easily.
The wall of Frames...lol
