it's alwhite: part 2

The french doors are done (well one of the five sets of french doors), but we've also had the white paint out on the front verandah railings. It has to be the most frustrating of painting jobs, fiddly, time consuming and boring, but now it is done I love it, and kind of want to start on the other verandahs too!


Don't mind the few missing posts-they wont be missing for much longer



I love gardinias-I will be so sad when ours finishes flowering-one of my
favourite smells
A few befores to remind you of the creamy, pinky yellow that is no longer





Painting on the other railings won't be happening for the next few weeks though due to a crazy end of year coming up at work (reports, finishing up and moving classrooms) and a few things on over the weekends.
Do you hate railings? Any tips to make it less painful?

  1. No tips I'm afraid, railings are just sucky (can I say that lattice is worse and I am grateful Betsy does not have any). We have front and back stair railings to paint as soon asap as the hardwood is not even primed. I'm thankful the deck has wire railing instead. Your french doors look so fantastic, a million times improved with the white. mel x

    1. Lattice would be awful. I'll use that as my mantra to be grateful-it could be lattice, it could be lattice. Thanks! :) We are really happy with them!! x

  2. Just a few icy-cold bottles of water and your favourite tunes in the background - music will get you through it. xx

    1. Check and check. I was listening to my cheesy motivating exercise music-One Direction, Beyonce, Katy Perry-and I'm a total Triple J girl usually! x

  3. Sorry Ness no really helpful tips maybe just use a good quality, long lasting paint so you don't have to do it again for another 10 years. Amazing job! It looks so fresh. Well done. Gardenias are one of my favourites too.

    1. Definitely! And next time it will just be one coat to freshen up anyway-not 2 or 3 to cover an old colour. They just smell gorgeous, and fill a room! x

  4. Gardenias are one of my favourites as well. Amazing smell. Great job on the railing - did you toast the finished work? Lisa xo
