Easter painting Pt3

Sorry for the delay on this post, its not that we didn't do any work yesterday, its simply because we were working hard into the night and I forgot.

We started early and popped over the the DIY store to get some supplies, it was super busy out as it was Easter Saturday but we survived.

Once home the first job was to get the door knobs back on the draws and doors.

Mmmmm knobs.

Now you get to see how the yellow trim looks in all its glory.

We even put some Yellow trim on the shelves.

Me like!

We left the shelves on the inside of the kitchen White......didn't want to over do the Yellow.

First base coat going on the front door.

YELLOW DOOR! How welcoming is that!

Fee's custom made door-holder-opener.

Easter painting Pt2

Mega picture update for you of what we have been up to today.

Fee started by masking up the draws and shelves but we

ran out of tape and has to use this.

Fee hard at work....work faster!

(whip cracking in background)

Must protect the coveted new dish washer!

The doors from yesterday getting some paint on the insides.

The kitchen..... but in the living room.

The front door got a light sanding but we will wait with the colour until

we have some more masking tape.

This is the colour the door will be...Kapowwww!

Also using the Yellow as a cool highlight colour in some areas.

Yellow frames!

Doing the inside of a couple of doors in Yellow.....with the help of rainbow tape.

Kitchen pretty much done!

Time to strip away all that tape.

The multi colour ball of masking tape.

Starting to look like a real kitchen again and we are loving it.

Had to put a lot of screws back into the frames to hang the doors. Thank god for my trusty 'Skill 4,8V Twist screw driver'!

Tomorrow will involve putting all the draws back, painting the door and doing all the finishing touches......and a heap load of cleaning!

Easter painting Pt1

So today was the day that we starting to paint the kitchen, its just to give it a bit of a face lift really....but its still a decent amount of work.

How the kitchen looked in the morning....very woody.

Our 'Dexter' style kill room table for painting.

Tools of the trade.

The enemy!

The doors were the first to be painted but we first had to take them off and sand them.

The naked and door-less kitchen.

Before I got to the painting I put on my custom overalls....they were from my Ghostbusters outfit I made for a party.

After the first hit of paint.

The wooden shelves in the middle will take a few coats to get white.

End of day one: All the door fronts done.

End of day one: Outer shelves and frames painted.

End of day one: Inner shelves and frames painted.

Tomorrow will be another rich full day of painting and if were are lucky there will be some coloured paint making an appearance!

Maybe I can just drink soup for the rest of my life?

This is the latest rubber band set up for my 'grillz'.

Its meant to make my bite tighter with less gaps by pulling them closer together.....so this means they are bloody killing me!

If all goes well they will be off in four months but lets see what happens. There is still a lot to be done once the brace comes off. :(

I has a new blog...

Well its not really a blog....its more of a scrap book for cool bit I come across. I tried using 'Delicious' but I like looking at pictures and they dont do that. So I found myself cutting and pasting images and links into a folder, then I figured I may aswell put all this in one place where I can access it any point.


So if your interested go have a look, its not meant to be one of those super cool and trendy design blogs, its simply a place to put the stuff I like.........

A mighty wind blows...

Today was probably the first proper day that our home renovation plans went into action, we have a lot in store for our apartment over the coming year and today was the first step in that direction.

We finally got round to getting Brian over to install our new heading system. It's basically an air conditioner that also blows hot air. We have electric radiators that are very old an inefficient and after the winter we just had, we knew we needed a solution. So this should save us money and help our carbon foot print in the long run.

This is the wall before the work started, you cant really tell but I painted the area so we dont have to take the unit off when we paint the apartment.

One big hole in the wall and one metal bracket.

There she be!

Brian hooking it up to the wall.

Well, there it is.

There it is....again.

Its going to take a little getting use to as we have never had anything there before, but it does mean we can get rid of the old electric radiator which is a nice bonus. Blood in blood out!

Round up!

Figured I would give you all a bit of an update as I never got the chance to over the weekend, so here is a picture -fest for ya!

Me and Fee were due to meet some friends for a couple of drinks on Friday night so we decided to treat ourselves to dinner before we met the gang. We went to a place called 'Remouladen', which is a bit of an odd name because in London that would be like calling a restaurant 'Ketchup'. Anyhoo....we had never been there before so we didn't know what to expect. Turns out they do very traditional Danish food, which was OK but for the money we paid I would have hoped for a lot more. :\

If your ever in Vejle......don't go here.

At least the wife looked pretty that night. :)

On Sunday we drove up to Arhus to see Max our wedding photographer, we needed to go over some pics we wanted treating and blowing up into large prints. He had moved studio to a cool new building that use to be a garage, and apart from a new bit of paint here and there it still looks like a garage in a very cool way.

His main work room, nice and spacious.

Cool old fashioned couch in his work room.

This is the main space (work shop) which he plans to

rent out as a party/exhibition space.

Cool collection of tire stickers on the wall.

No parking!

The Mobil sponsored door to the work room.

"Skift til Michelin"

You cant have a car garage with a topless girly calender.

Also been doing some little 'meeting' doodles, really need to do something with these guys. Got a whole bunch I want to paint up.......but where do I find the time?

Little zombie doll who want's to eat your brains.

He likes the taste....and who can blame him! :)

Not sure what that is on the end of his finger, I'll leave it up to you to decide.

I was eating a cookie with my tea at the time of drawing.....I call that multi-tasking!

It's and owl, but I never got round to finishing him.

The meeting must have finished early. :P
