House Renovations in Progress
At the moment we are renovating a house we just bought, its fun thinking of the new ideas and putting things in the house "we" want rather than what someone else has decided. We have also learnt to get great deals for great stuff!



Anyway it was my daughters 6th birthday, so I decided the back room downstairs facing the pool would be a great playroom. The room was a normal aged drab bedroom with outdated paint color and horrible dirty carpet.

I decided to have a theme of fairys, so off I began to paint a mural on wall ( not in anyway artistic, but hey what could be worse than how it started)
The walls were firstly painted in Dulux Antique White, the stained wood skirtings and window trims were painted high gloss white, the carpet was removed, and sanded, we still are deciding on a stain. It took 2 weeks to paint the mural, a few hours each night.



Resene Paint was used for the mural, with magnetic paint, an idea I got from a talented lady in NZ. So off I began painting this mural. The magnetic paint was painted first, then the coloring in began.
