Dear friends and readers, the previous days the artist-painter added the undercoat to the paneling of our living room.
Oak paneling before the primer was added.
Start of adding the first coat.
Even though this is only a primer, it has given the room a completely different look. Don’t you think so ?
Actually you can’t see that much of the timber anymore, but in one of the next steps, the painter will gently reveal the oak wood.
The panel moulding is much more accentuated than before, which I really love.
This is how our living room looks like today.
I can’t wait to see the painter adding the next layers !
Me, explaining how I would love to see the patina which has to be added next week.
We asked the painter to make a lot of patina samples but untill now, we haven’t made our choice ! This really is the hardest part !
To be continued…

Dit ziet er al veelbelovend uit! Het kiezen van een kleur is inderdaad heel moeilijk. Toen ik de kleur van onze kast op de slaapkamer moest gaan bepalen, had ik zeven A-4 vellen met verschillende kleuren tegen de al geschilderde wand. Hoewel ik dus al in de betreffende kamer met de daarbij horende lichtval stond (want dat laatste maakt ook immens veel verschil), heb ik dagenlang getwijfeld maar ben ik nu gelukkig wel heel blij met m'n keus.
ReplyDeleteIk ben benieuwd voor welke kleur jullie zullen gaan. Succes!
Lieve groet, Ingrid
Lovely and exciting to watch
ReplyDeleteOh Greet ! C'est déjà très beau en blanc !!! Ça donne un esprit Gustavien.
ReplyDeleteBon courage pour le choix de couleurs ! C'est difficile n'est-ce-pas ? Plutôt gris ou gris-bleu ?
Bises,
Céline.
Wauw, wat ontzettend mooi Greet..nu al! Pfhoe, dat zal best nog moeilijk zijn om de juiste kleur te kiezen. Wat ook een klus om te schilderen. Maar jij hebt vast wel al een beeld in je hoofd hoe het er uit moet komen te zien. Dit besluit is je wel toevertrouwd, iemand met zoveel stijl... dat kan gewoon niet fout gaan.
ReplyDeleteZie nu al uit naar het vervolg....succes!
Lieve groetjes, Helena

This is truly beautiful and I'm so glad you shared it with us! Thank you for always having such wonderful blog posts for us to treasure!

A wonderful transformation and it is only the primer. You have a difficult task choosing a patina because your people do such good work and seem to be able to do anything. Thank you for sharing and giving us so many updates. Best to you and Jan.
