Green.<\/strong> Green ties the rooms of our apartment together. It is repeated in a different shade in each room. The large window wall in the living room needed this bond, so I painted the wall with Tikkurila colour palettes with great care. I picked up a pair of original stone window sills, with a beautiful pale green as one of the colour swirls, to colour the whole wall too. It made for a clever colour pair.<\/p>\n

I had seen<\/strong> my colleague also had the great idea that you can paint the radiators the same colour as the wall! I think it's quite a funny detail! At the paint shop, I found out that the first thing to do is to paint the radiators with radiator paint, which is more resistant to thermal fluctuations than ordinary wall paint. Radiator paint comes in white and cannot be tinted! So we had to buy a wall paint that can be tinted and is equally resistant to thermal shocks.<\/p>\n

The tools are worth<\/strong> be good enough: a better tape, one that sticks tightly to the wall. This was the kind of bright yellow roll. And it's absolutely essential when taping to remember to smooth the edge of the tape very tightly against the wall, so that the paint doesn't get underneath and make a messy edge. The roofline tool also caused ecstasy, how easy it is to roll the paint along the roofline and not have to be careful about accidentally bumping into the ceiling with the paint roller!<\/p>\n

Protection in general<\/strong> the underlying philosophy is the pleasure of facilitating the painting process itself. Protecting the floor, ceiling and radiators is a really tedious and boring stage, but the reward during the painting phase is a relaxed hand movement, a clear forehead and a relaxed mind.<\/p>\n

White on white, this will change!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tools are needed. A roller, a ceiling tool, a paintbrush, a paint pan (I put a plastic bag over it so you don't have to wash it), wall paint, furniture paint for radiators, a drill with a knife to mix the paint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The skirting boards are protected, the most convenient way is plastic, with tape running along the edge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sockets must also be checked.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Painting starts with the most demanding part, the radiators.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Work hard and play hard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First time done alone, the whole protection-painting project took 7 hours, huhhuh!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sample corresponds to reality.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I saw a breathtakingly beautiful luxurious muted green fire on the wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Vihre\u00e4. Vihre\u00e4 sitoo asuntomme huoneita yhteen. Se toistuu eri s\u00e4vyisen\u00e4 joka huoneessa.
