I never updated the thread with my kitchen redecorating so here it is.
Precision drilling...
Then I had to move some CAT6 cables externally to come in the wall lower down so I used external waterproof joiner thingies. Been working well.
Pulled inside.
Then the carnage of extending my internal sockets commenced. Despite best efforts, I was told off due to the dust.
Started marking out for the Samsung frame TV.
Then it was back to finishing the wall and starting the rest of the entire room. Went with Johnstone's Acrylic Durable Matt white paint as I wanted to use the same on ceiling and walls. I went down Brewers decorating centre and bought what I thought were high quality rollers but they ended up shedding all over the ceiling. Bit annoying. Not sure if I prepped them right and should have done the tape thing to get all the hairs off. Seemed poor quality. Anyway got it done in the end.
Took out 14 downlights and a smoke alarm and pushed the wiring back in the ceiling so I could roll it easier.
Masked and covered everything as best I could. Rolled the ceiling twice. (Yes the doors still need painting). Then did walls.
Finished room looks decent now. We've got the Samsung frame super low profile TV up. The TV that goes into realistic photo frame mode with the matt look screen so it looks like a painting. The box thing that all the leads go to with a tiny diddy cable I've stashed behind the piano. That piano has gone now off to uni with my son. We're debating whether to replace with a white one or black. What do you guys think? White would match the room and table, but the TV when off obviously is pretty black. Post on mums net for my first world problem?
Would prob get rid of the sound bar.
