three little pots

So I spent the last few days of my hols redecorating. I learned that my little passage only needs three (ok, that was a bit of a push- next time I'll do it with four) little 250ml test pots of paint, coming to a grand total of R70. As the smallest tin I could have them mix up was 5litres at R450 a pop allow me to do my Jack Black stick-it-to-the-man pose. Heee!

Bummer that all three pics have a slightly different hue but the first pic is pretty acurate. The colour is Plascon's 'Bottlenose' - a greyish, greenish blue. I had planned on going much darker but it didn't look that great. I suppose because it's quite a dark little passage already.  I really, really wanted to make the skirting boards white. Think how cool that would look! But as the rest of the flat has white walls I thought it would be rather a waste. I like the dark stain against the white.

 I also painted the book case. Bad lighting resulted in not the best of photos but you get the idea.  : )

PS- The blue scrunchy seen in various positions on the floor is a cat toy, just in case you think I like to fling it around. ;-P
