Weekend at Perisher Blue

A group of us from OL’ PAINTING went this weekend skiing at Perisher Blue. This was a well deserved short getaway – we were very busy last few months. We hired one larger mountain chattel, cooked diner together, and gave some lessons to those who are beginners. A great 2 days of fun, laugh, great food (thanks girls for cooking!!!) and snow!

On a way back we had a quick stopover at Snowy Mountain Trout Farm for a quick fishing and barbeque. An interesting place!

Mae’s Fabric Wall Stickers

These lovely stickers from Mae’s Etsy Shop are made of fabric, not of a vinyl! They are removable and completely reusable. They can be re-applied many times over without causing any damage to the wall. They are even washable! It’s an absolute renters dream! Just take them with you when you move!

Mae’s stickers are designed and made in Australia.

Project of a Month - JULY 1

BEFORE - Atrium

AFTER - Atrium

We’ve been busy this month with a painting project for Google Australia offices at Pyrmont managed by CB Richard Ellis. This is the funkiest office I have seen ever! I would pay them to let me work here!

Do not believe everything they say in papers - Goggle is VERY serious about an environment! They are located in amazing high-tech 6-star rated building. They requested we use only100% environmental low VOC paint with low VOS tints. We worked with Oikos paints supplied by Designer Paints.

And guess how they found us? They Googled us up! :)))

How to Camouflage your TV

One of the first things to see when you walk into a living room is a big, bold TV. Although many electronics are being designed with colours that fit into your home’s decor, TV’s are still and always will be, big black rectangles. We all have them. It is a standard and expected centre-point around which the family life rotates. But it does not have to be!

Check out these ideas from Christine Hanlon, design editor at “Style at Home” on how to camouflage your tech.
