The next step for my cottage was deciding how to do the exterior walls. I wanted a textural effect so a paper finish wasn't for me. A quick google search led me to Bromley Craft Products and their realistic brick effect. Basically you apply the brick texture through a stencil to give a brick finish. My photo is a bit jaundiced (its difficult to get decent light for photos in an English winter) but I hope you get the idea. It looks much better in reality.
Over the past few weeks I've been collecting bits and pieces of furniture from Ebay. A couple just because they are brilliant as they are, and a few more as job-lots so I don't spend too much and don't have to feel guilty when I chop and paint them!
I still keep trying out the furniture. Not all will be going in this house... Some will be for other projects further down the line.
Until next time
Gillian
