Mrs BC's House of Chaos: Red Wall

Well.......................wall is such a generous term for this little space. (We do live in a shoebox after all) But it's the closest thing to a dining room wall we have, so that's it's name. It is practically in the centre of the house, everyone has to walk past it 100 times a day, so it is a great place for notice boards. But it also sets the tone for the house, which is already cluttered enough already.

A white board & a blackboard, because we are an equal opportunity family.

Taking the crap down. 100% better already.

Discovering that the notice boards have been stuck on with liquid nails. Nice.

Removing liquid nails leaves holes in your wall, which need to be puttied up, then sanded.

A few times.

Finally, the undercoat, then the magical blue tape. I love this tape, it stays good for 14 days without leaving it's stick on the surface, unlike regular old masking tape which can only be left on for a matter of hours. Blue tape is the shiz.

After this, about 6 colours of red paint to really get the depth in.

Wanna see it?

Do you like it? I love it. I can't even bring myself to hang anything on it yet.

Soon, heirloom blue & white plate collection, soon....
