Made in Britain. by blightygal

Made in Britain.

No prizes guessing what I've been doing the last 3 days... ;-) Finally tackled the lime green satin walls in the kitchen. Yep, I did really write lime green! Eddies ex wanted the kitchen with a multicoloured mosaic on the wall around the blue bench, the rest painted lime green, and then blue floor, yellow cupboards and appliances. Its a big job to try and tone it down to help sell the house! Now the house and I stink of satin paint. If anyone wants to lend a hand...... ;-)


oh - and lesson to myself. Take off paint from hands with thinners before picking up camera's! ooops.
yeah, would love to....but i'm a bit busy! (oh and the world's worst DIYer to boot)

No matter what you photograph, especially if it has white in it, you always manage to make it look classy!! The light is always so good and I love the drips down the side of the can.....hope you got a sheet down! lol As @rich57 says, I'd love to but..............gardening, shopping, drinking, watching tv, washing my hair, sleeping, birdwatching.......

@Cherrill Grins... seems only @katiegc24 is a fan of decorating here!! he he. I like the pride when its all over ;-)

Thanks for the complement Cherrill.. this is natural lighting, just plonked it by the window and slightly over-exposed.

I think it looks great. Hope the paint came off the camera okay. :)

I know the feeling about having paint everywhere, years of painting means it's on every door handle and tap in the house. Great clarity and crop on this.

You do close-ups so well. The details are wonderful. You don't want me helping, I have to wear disposable gloves or my hands would be covered in paint.

..the white on white looks great, and the drips top it off.
Unfortunately I'm washing my hair this weekend.

That kitchen sounds FOUL! Glad you're toning it down. Lol. Would help if I could, but I have a 4000 word essay to right. Sorry.
March 4th, 2011  
I love painting and would love to help out, but it's a heck of a commute!
March 4th, 2011  
I like painting, but that sounds like quite a bit of work to cover. Certainly not my first choice of colors, but to each his own I guess? Good luck getting it all done!
March 4th, 2011  
Wow! His ex sounds like she had an unusual idea of what looks good on walls. I would love to help, but as it was put above it would be quite a commute. I like your choice of paint instead of hers so much calmer. :D
March 4th, 2011  
@timandelke yeah, a bit of a long way ;-) Cheers for the giggle! @wormentude Not my cuppa either, thats for sure! Best of luck with that essay.... I think I'd rather paint! Poor you.
March 4th, 2011  
Nice shot. I'll paint the whole thing for you if you like, I love painting. You pay my airfare and put me up. Deal? Probalby not;cheaper I"m sure to hire a local. Good luck with the project.

Great shot, love the whiteness!
March 4th, 2011  
Did you take a 'before' shot of the kitchen so we can see the transformation?! Great shot :o)
March 4th, 2011  
@shantwin I so wish I could!! Grins.

I love the whites of this picture.
I believe that after the three days you can relax and be content. ( I hate the smell of tinner)I guess It is not a great fun to paint three days and to have some paint on your camera.
March 4th, 2011  
Wonderful capture!
March 5th, 2011  
Beautiful pic! Love the monochrome.
March 5th, 2011  
I'd love to :) I love to paint.
March 5th, 2011  
Good picture! Painting going on here too, I did try this very kind of picture yesterday.. but I just couldn't get it right so left it until another day.
March 5th, 2011  
I love your white photos too. So clean and well framed. Not a painter...you would ask me to leave after a half an hour...
March 6th, 2011  
Too funny--I just posted a painting photo several days ago too....
