 More Painting
     We chose the colour Twill which is a kind of light grey with hints of blue or purple depending on the light.
Here you can see the difference with the white undercoat - the darker sections are the Twill cut-ins at the edges and where the sheets of plywood join. The top part hasn't been done in this photo yet as it requires going up a ladder.
Here you can see Twill is the top colour on this colour card from Bunnings.
Here's the kitchen.
These are the rollers I was using, they give a great finish.
Here you can see the difference between the traditional large roller and the little one. The large one is too difficult for me to press against the wall but the little one is so easy to use, I love it!
More painted walls. I was doing a section of wall at a time, each coat took a few hours for each section and then a couple of hours between coats. This meant that it took a few days at least to do each section. It took extra time before and after each session of putting up the painting sheets, mixing the paint for at least 5 minutes and then cleaning the paint off the roller and tray afterwards. The clean up was the worst part of the job.
One coat of primer and two coats of twill.
Next step, kitchen cupboards.
