Breaking the wall

I thought that today I might share one of my projects. It started as a very innocent idea of stripping some of the wallpaper in my bedroom. It was peeling of so that was very reasonable to do something with it. Unfortunately it came out with piece of the plaster, which looked like this:


Great mess as you can see :-) but I stayed calm and decided to simply plaster the wall - it can't be that difficult, can it? So after half an hour, that what I ended up with.


I posted this picture on Facebook (I wanted my husband to find out before he comes back from work) and got some nice comments with one of my friends suggesting that newest trend is bare bric wall. After only short hesitation I've decided to go for it.


 Work in progress............................................................................................


I forgot to mention that I was six months pregnant than, hence the big belly and mask :-). It took us two weeks to finish it only because it was busiest time in the year at my husband's work and I was limited in what I could do. At the beginning it wasn't very impressive, cleaning bricks was very and I was dealing with dust in whole house for the next month. All in all I love our new bedroom wall.




It's still not very shiny, even with few layers o diluted pva glue, but I think I prefer it that way. What do you think? Share your comments with me.

Hello

This is it. My first post in my first blog. It's a bit tricky to type while breast feeding my daughter but multitasking is my middle name. It's my birthday on Friday, very excited, hopefully someone is going to bake me a cake. When you get to know me better you'll probably realise that my husband is not exactly a master baker, even though he's a chef. So all hope in my daughters. Uff. I think that's enough for my first attempt. Cheerio :-)
