Painted my last wall tonight, hoping it dries up neatly. Lesson learnt: don't ever fucking paint your walls with heavy grain textured paint because it is a drag to repaint what is essentially sandpaper. After two layers of primer I still had to buy double the amount of paint.

Will post pics somewhere this weekend once I've cleaned up our mess!

Pics! We painted the full 7m living room wall:

And one corner of the dining room in the same color. IRL it's more blue than it looks here in poor lighting conditions - the table and cabinet in the next pic are the exact same dark wood.

The other side of that room, and the longer side of the office, we painted in a gorgeous dark green:

The idea of keeping white bands I stole from a friend, but the motif of doing that all around and going "just around the corner" on all walls was our own idea. Living room and office have that too. Really ties it all together.
