Woooop!!

Thanks!!


SO ridiculously excited!!

[Bean]

Well, a long-awaited update!


We now have HOT WATER, CENTRAL HEATING & a SHOWER!



Our front room looks a lot more like a front room!



Sorry about the blob ... I smashed my camera filter, lol







We have THE coolest lampshades in the hall!





And the greatest place mats!




Oh - And the GIANT Pixar light, lol







Next job? Ummm... not sure!

[Teapot]

I like your style, Miss Bean. You got class, gel.

[Bean]

Naw, thanks!

I promise, this is just the start ... you wait 'til the walls are finished and the artwork goes up.

It'll be a graphic designer's paradise!



I have these on the way, that I'll be turning into some shelves:

And having something like this on them:

Which we can move around and spell rude words!!



I'm going to have some of my canvases on the walls, with my oil paintings

And I've got probably hundreds of photo frames, for my photography!


In the background of the above dining table photo, you will see my most amazing purchase ... it's an Ilford 2150RC Developer .. for when I get my darkroom in the cellar and start working with Medium Format again!


I'll be playing a lot with Pantone colours, maybe making a large print with a colour chart or something. Not entirely decided on that yet, but I love the idea of swatches....!

OMG that letterpress type takes me back ... Mrs T has a case-room type drawer on the wall with its little compartments full of nicknacks. Your shelves will look ace.

Aaahhh!! NO WAY!? I'd love to see?

That's what I was going to do! I have these in my watched items!

I want a set of these, too - But can't justify the price of them, lol.

I also want an old optician's wall chart!

Aaah, I could go on for ever, lol.

[Teapot]

Ta-daaa ... don't think you'll want yours painted though. It would be nice plain wood and filled with metallic things.
(I nicked ours from work when I left.)

The bigger compartments are for the most commonly-used letters. Capitals aren't used so much but a demand for a novelty headline like OOOOOOOPs! would arouse the wrath of the case-room.

Back on topic ....

Looking good - wondered where you had gone.

Really enjoyed reading this. Makes a change from rusty mini shells LOL

[Bean]

Ah - I hid the thread for a while, after a few things happened!

But I thought I would re-instate it as I enjoy posting in it!


Teapot - Thanks for the photos! That's absolutely amazing!

I'm so jealous - I'd love to see a print works!



My "shelves" have arrived!

I knew they'd be small ... but they're ridiculously tiny!

[toyboy396]

My "shelves" have arrived!

Thats cool.. you can strap them to your feet and go skiing

[Bean]

ROFL

[mike174]

do you have a special shelf just for cheese yet?

[leaky]

I bet you could put some cheese, or cakes or even an a series engine on those shelfs. Not a metro though. Their gay.

[RossKnight]
