Nossa Casa - Our house (In Progress... )

SO in case you didn't know... our living room "theme" is SUPERMAN. because its Ruan's favorite super hero.  SO I started thinking of what to do on the walls here, and while at the mall one day i saw a comic strip that was grayscale on a superman display. and i knew what i was gonna do in the house... :D so here are some pics from the Progress.









I used the churches projector to layout the individual pictures that i took from a comic that i had, ( that i got from you Aunt Selita ;)  ) I took the pictures and turned them into black and white on my computer and then basically one by one put them in a collage and traced the basic lines and mainly the words onto the wall. then moved to the next picture. ( the comic is not in order cause i wanted it to be more of him so i picked all the good scenes. ;P )

It has taken QUITE some time to paint all of it.. And I get bored and stop and watch a movie hahah its still not done.. but there is just a few left to paint.

Basically I am making (painting) wallpaper. the hard way.. cause no one sells what i wanted. HA

So with the tv moved this wall is almost done.. !
to the right is the two doorways and thats al that is left.

Before and after :) 

I finished the wall with the french doors finally! HAHA i had to finish SOMETHING or I was gonna go crazy. 

At some point i downloaded this house designing app. Which was al ot lie the one I LOVED as a kid on my brothers computer. So since before the wedding i have been sesigning our house. and since the bedroom is "done" i put the picture of the REAL thing and the DESIGN together so see how i did. :D
(his parents gave us the wardrobe and the bed, and curtains.. nit in the picture..  from their house since they are moving. which was a huge blessing)

SO now to hang pictures a bookshelves and its done! :D
*thumbs up*

Here its is bigger for ya... 

OH YEAH. back to the living room. 

Since this picture I have painted the brown door white (by the way) I am gonna add pictures in the frames eventually haha... and paint some of the white ones a different color.. i was just dying to hang something on the wall tat day. :D Also... to my family.. ( you may notice the *beloved* superman pillow has a lovely spot in our home... we love him hahaha ) 

                                                                            Finally got the shower curtain hung! 

Thanks to my father in law! As you will see in the next picture i had to add a string for support which was fine but in the picture its un even ahah i fixed it now. :P   

Im creative i know :P it looks funny but 

now we know it wont ever fall. 

SO THIS!....... was my next project! I had a 

great idea to fill in the grey wall where 

our table was.. its pretty big.. 

end it was empty. so i decided to do a three 

canvas painting of superman to hang up!       

So I started free hand drawing on the canvases that Ruan got me. i only had two for a while but it was okay haha :) they are pretty cheep here compared to the states! so that is exciting!    

(here is a picture of part of the canvas store hehe ) 

      

Once I finished sketching with pencil I started painting... and didn't stop the whole day till I finished.. :D

...almosssssttt....

progress..../ lunch break haha

ANNNNND I finished all I could so till I got the third canvas.. :) 

I was in the superman mood the day we got 

 the third canvas... hehe.

And JJ patiently watching me painting.. :) 

Finally got the third one. so I could start the back ground and finish the cape. :D they were way bigger than our table haha 

SO ...here is a before of this wall in the living room. 

AFTERRRRRRRRRRRRR........(still not done but its close) the painting is done. and the wall is crooked so its really difficult to hang something and make it look straight... still working on that!!!

ANNNDD thats its for now! (my kitchen is not clean otherwise id take pictures to post ha)
