Feature wall in lounge....
After painting the niche in the lounge hallway, it was very obvious to us that the feature wall in the lounge also needed to be painted...and as it is the Queens birthday longweekend what a good time to do it.
So far it looks awesome...just need to wait for the paint to dry enough so i can put the curtains/blinds back up. Fingers crossed that the colours go alright with the the drapery.

Lounge...
Well...after much humming and arring....we finally decided what colour/s we wanted to paint the wall opposite the lounge...We had to wait until we could go to a Bristol store so they could colour match the colours off our curtains, only to be told when we got there that the colour sample has to be flat...what the???...so we had to go to the sample wall and try and match the colours in the curtain to the paint...pretty impressive...we actually managed to get them pretty close to the colours we wanted.
That was my project over the last couple of days....painting...its something i enjoy doing...could have had it done in one sitting, except for the fact that i was using two colours...never mind, it is done now and i must say that it makes the wall look alot warmer.
The inner wall is Taubmans Vellum Smoke, while the border is Taubmans Creme Fraiche...in the photos its hard to see the later as it almost blends into the main wall colour but in person it is noticable...we liked is so much that we are thinking of doing the opposite wall in the lounge in the two colours...the window walls in the Vellum Smoke and the fireplace wall in the Creme Fraiche.
