Painting completed, now with pictures

We'll start off where we left it last time, due to a faulty camera cord. As mentioned, we used Dulux EnvirO2 paint for the strawbale walls, and a "normal" Dulux professional for the red feature wall. The EnvirO2 paint was very good to work with and therefore comes with at least our recommendations.

 

Main bedroom, after painting

 

Again, main bedroom, but looking the other way.

 

2nd bedroom - this is actually the brick wall that we rendered over to make it look the same as the strawbale walls.

 

Dining area - seems a bit dark due to the light coming in through the windows.

 

Hallway in the "east wing" of the house

 

Music room, well at least half of it

 

The southern wall in the office

 

And finally, the living room, with its big red feature wall. The red wall is the solid brick wall that is there to provide thermal mass to the house.

 

Just another note regarding painting the walls. Due to the lack of "straightness" in our walls, we found it best to use a small roller to put the paint on. A large brush might have worked just as well, but a big roller did not work as it just wouldn't touch the surface with the whole width of the roller.
