It's like a part of my culture to turn someone else room into a storage room if the owner is not around for a long time. I went to china and stayed for ten years and when I return home my room don't look like a room at all. At first I did not really care cause I am not going to move in anyway, I have rented an apartment and I like it there better.
BUT
when business was bad and I am forced to close and give up the business, I am also forced to go back home. To claim my old room at my fathers house. That was the time I realize how bad really it is. So I choose to take the basement room for a while but I cant wait any longer so I decided to do the restoration my self.
the wall are all like this
and I don't really know which color is better, I have tried light colors and they are easily to get dirty plus the only available color at my dads construction supply is chocolate brown and black. Initially I really want to paint it black and put some white paintings but my dad said its still his house and he don't want any room to be painted black.
I started 10 am and I finish at around 1 pm, don't have a roller but I think it was all good...
i will try to paint some details (lol like a canvas eh) soon..
A picture of my wall in china.. black wall.. let me know what you think...
(oh by the way the owner of the apartment was really so angry when he know I painted it black - the paint I used in here is not the ordinary wall paint, the paint actually can be washed with water, the flowers too is water base canvas paints)
I was taking a pic from my webcam
not a good quality but I guess it look just fine.. hopefully
This turned out great.
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteYou have a window that gives lots of sunlight so you can go with the darker colors.
ReplyDeleteI think the black wall is pretty but I can understand the owner would be upset. Hard to paint over for the new tenant.
i actually used a canvas water base paint so it's really easy to remove the paint :) they just need to wash it with water and it will go back to the base paint which is the oil base white :)
DeleteI wish I was brave to go so dark! I envy you! : )
ReplyDelete:)... i really have no other choice but it turned ok..
DeleteI love the China wall! The flowers look beautiful!
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteI think the black wall is pretty. My son wanted his room painted black and red after the state football team colors so that's what we did. :)
ReplyDeletegreat... my dad dont like it though :( but thats ok i will paint my room black if I get my own house haha
DeleteI love that black wall with the white flowers!! But I can understand why the owner was a little angry-cause now he will have to try and paint over that--not an easy job--he will probably have to strip it to bare wood!!
ReplyDeletethe paint is actually something that you can wash out of water, its not the real wall paint.. they actually fade with too much sunlight so it's a bit easy to remove it... just wash it..
DeleteGood luck! I love the black and white wallpaper it is gorgeous! x
ReplyDeletethanks.. not really wallpaper... I painted it :)
DeleteLooks awesome!!!
ReplyDeletethank you.. glad you did like it :)
DeleteThat looks awesome! What did you use to do the flowers? They are simply beautiful!
ReplyDeletewhile acrylic paint and I use the size 10 paint brush for the petals :)
DeleteI have to admit, when you said black, I was not so sure. When I saw the wall I love it!
ReplyDeleteglad you like it :)
Deletei really love the idea that you put an art inside your room using the wall. it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI was held aback of your article especially the title. If you don't mind, it should be "began". But if the activity has just started it should be "has begun" with an auxiliary verb of "has".
ReplyDeleteoh sorry... I did not really check on my grammar thing.. thank you so much next time I should read and edit.. thank you... on my way to edit it...
DeleteActually I mind because if you tend to correct other peoples grammatical structure you have to make sure that your grammar is correct. Your sentence “I was taken aback of your article especially the title” is wrong, it should be “I was taken aback by your article specially the title”. Especial (something is less good) special (among other things there is something in particular) and since you are talking about the whole article it means that they are all bad and you want to pin point something in particular which is the title. It is politically incorrect because there is no such thing as absolute, and your sentence imply that the article is absolutely wrong. I don’t want to point out the placement of your punctuations as well because it would make this reply too long.
DeleteThank you for the grammar lessons but I would rather appreciate it if you messaged it to me not posting it in the comment box, after all this post is not all about grammar rules. Thank you!
I like the color of your apartment in China, its so cool...
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteWho doesn't love Brown? it's an earth color, nice choice by the way. Love the way you painted that room in China.
ReplyDeletethank you so much...
DeleteI wonder when can I reclaim my room in Baguio. I'm sure the restoration project would be successful.
ReplyDeletesoon hehe.... :)
DeleteI'm very partial to brown and black although I haven't really tried them on walls. The one you did in black actually came out very nice.
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteThe restoration result of your room looks really good. I wish I have time to restore my room too :)
ReplyDeleteIt's dark. Not my taste, but I think it looks awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteas an architecture student, I think dark colors are only used if your room space is large since they tend to minimize the space.. but adding those flower details made it more interesting and not too dull looking.. :)
ReplyDeletemy room in china is really actually large, its 20x25 sqf so yeah its kinda large.
DeleteIt would be nicer if you painted your walls with pastel colors. Mas masaya and girlish ang dating.
ReplyDeletesa kasamaang palad ayaw ng tatay ko hehe sabi niya bahay niya.. :) saka na lang daw pag sa bahay ko na..
Deletethis looks amazing! dark is good in the bedroom to make you fall asleep giving you that feeling that is always night hehe
ReplyDeletethank you, you are right after all the bedroom is for sleeping..
DeleteJust design it in anyway that will make you smile coz it should be your happy place :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like this was a big step for you! Good luck with the output :)
ReplyDeleteWow! You're good. I think you should consider taking courses in interior design. hehe :)
