thing is the wall is facing outwards so if we are in the house you can't see it - it just adds character to the room when you are in it and from the outside - as its got french doors out to a deck so looking back into the house it arches the entrance - will take photo when all done (and tidy of cause)

okay better get off here cause dh is keen to get the first coat done tonight so better go help like a good wifie ]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:58:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=405918&title=feature-walls#405918 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=405895&title=feature-walls#405895 Author: Two Blondinis

Felix looks like really yummy dark chocolate.

Feature walls will always be in - especially in older houses where you can get away with it ]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:35:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=405895&title=feature-walls#405895 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=405848&title=feature-walls#405848 Author: AnnC

Bizzy - i don't want to wall paper as its a hassle - but the rest of the house is going to be wall papered eventualy with textured wall paper as its got uneven gib underneath and would take ages to sand (I mean you will sand an sand and it still wouldn't be straight! - good ole houses for ya!)

Theres not alot of walls to paint thats why we decided to bite the bullet... yes it is the warmest in the house and the brightest which lights up the dining room as its got no windows so wanted to go with a bright colour as the main colour.

How warm is the room naturally?

being a sunroom the darker colour might also make it too hot in the summer

its ummm medium but the feature wall will only be visiable from outside not from the dining/kitchen/lounge area. so it shouldn't make too much different in size of it]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:05:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=403932&title=feature-walls#403932 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=403925&title=feature-walls#403925 Author: Two Blondinis

I like the Slate brown.

How big is your sunroom? I'd be worried if you put a dark colour on there that it would make the room smaller.]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:02:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=403923&title=feature-walls#403923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=403916&title=feature-walls#403916 Author: AnnC

i was just thinking red, that was before you mentioned you had a lot of red in the house.

Are you after a dark or vibrant feature wall?

Our kitchen is like a sandy/tea colour and the off-white cupboards really stand out (makes the kitchen look huge when it is teeny tiny!

I've been having a play with the Resene website lately to see what colours go with what.
I just typed in "Half Tea" and this is what they suggest

we are painting our sunroom half tea colour and I am wanting to put a feature wall - have yet to convince DH aout it- so what colours would be nice for a feature wall.

Our Dining, kitchen and lounge are open plan with the sunroom , the kitchen has red bench tops and we have dark wood all the way thru the house (nice maghongy and rinu colours)

so what colours do you suggest??

BTW - I not particularly looking for a red feature wall more something that will go with it]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 21:37:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17929&PID=403880&title=feature-walls#403880
