Arsenal, as time goes by.

Months have past since my last post, but work at the apartment at Arsenal has of course developed a lot. Let's start with the entrance hall, for which I promised a surprise treat for the floor. To remember you how it looked like before here's a photo.


After we ripped out the cupboards that lined the hall it looked quite messy. But after a new white coat of paint for the vaulted ceiling and after painting limegreen sectors that are inspired by classical wall treatments it was time for the biggest change. Since the two main rooms still have great original Viennese parquet flooring this very used wooden board floor stood out. But not in a positive way. So we got some English floor paint and just painted the floor boards in a very dark chocolate brown. The result was just amazing. The wooden structure is still visible, but the new colour gave the room a totally elegant feel, that is brightend up by the fresh limegreen of the walls. But see for yourself.
