Painting feature walls

Just before our snowtrip, with some help from Tom,
we went to paint the feature walls.

we set off to Bunnings for supplies, looked at the different colours and effects

 Tom looked at some plants he wanted to add to his garden while we were there

he selected this colour as an idea for feature wall
im not much of a greeny yellow person.. looks abit retro to me
or how to match it

we selected the above 4 colours. i went with the baby blue instead

on the way home we saw smoke.. turned out they were burning the grass right around where our house development is =\ was pretty scary

they closed off the main road so we had to go around the back.
you can smell the smoke.. and there was a thin layer of ash on the car

good thing it didnt come near our property tho. the grass is on the other side of the trees surrounding the development area.

we taped up and papered up the sides of the walls we were to paint.
yet the paint still bleed through the special painting tape =\
i had to go back a week after to touch up the sides.

and voila!

a dark silver metallic hallway wall
where you can see the criss crossed brush effects

the dark brown grey media room wall
it was in a stone effect which has a rough sandpapery feel

a light champagne metallic livingroom wall
also with some paint stroke effects

and our baby blue matt bedroom wall :P
its a bright sky blue..
it did sorta look like a nursery colour after we were done hehe

oh well.. i like my blues.
