Day 75: 10 days left

Posted on October 18, 2011

I got a couple of frowns when I said that we are putting ceiling tiles on our tv room wall. My friend called me the other day and said that she knows that my ideas are quite different, but putting ceiling tiles on a wall is taking different to a whole new level. She thought that this was the permanent colour.

In this post I mentioned that I wanted to add some texture to this wall, and thought of doing wood panelling. These ceiling tiles is so much easier and quicker to put up and gives the same effect as wood panelling.

The end result:

We absolutely love it. It is exactly what I was looking for.

The floors are all sanded now.

Here you can see how the floors used to look and how it looks like now:

Huge difference right?

Then a quick exterior update.

Quite a change from this:

Have I mentioned that we are moving in next Friday? Yes, like in 10 days. We have to be out of our apartment, which means that we have 10days to finish the house inside. It is going to be 10 interesting days.

Have a great Tuesday.

    Hi Idonette

    Ek volg jou blog die afgelope maand of wat en kan nie glo hoe baie julle huis al verander het en hoe mooi dit lyk nie. Ek en my man trek ook volgende Vrydag in ons huis in – ‘n stokou beauty wat in 1933 gebou is, maar daar gaan nog ‘n paar wonderwerke moet gebeur voor dan. Dus, sterkte – ek dink aan julle.
