HOW MUCH WALLPAPER OR PAINT FOR YOUR HOME?

Knowing how much to use when wallpapering or painting can leave you scratching your head with miscalculations that leave you either rushing to the store to buy more (and hoping they still have the same dye lot) or a shed full of tinted paint you can’t reuse. Use these simple calculators from Living Etc Magazine to get yourself organised and save yourself the stress.
TIP
Wallpaper – add extra wallpaper to your calculations for patches and a few mistakes you may make while hanging.
Paint - paint can last at least 8 years if sealed properly (don’t have in the hottest spot of shed or garage) Perfect to have a tin for touch ups or a freshen up without painting the whole room.

I dont know if its the pleasure of watching this evolve or the sweet tones of Louis Armstrong, but there is something very peaceful about this fleeting artwork.

PERFORMANCE ART

Posted on March 21, 2009 by shaynna

As an artist I take my time in the creative process and ponder over each brush stroke. It can take me weeks and even months to finish a painting. I envy artists such as Michael Potts, who can do it in under an hour. The true original of this performance art though was our very own Australian,Rolf Harris in the 70′s. See him in action below.
