Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Back in the old days, photographs were blown up and printed on paper and then displayed on the walls. Now, taking cue from the great art masters, more and more people are printing their photographs on canvasses. Thus, canvas art is born. And along with it, the birth of canvas wall art.
Several years back, printing on a large canvas is very expensive. In fact, you might be able to find framed and ready to use paintings for a much cheaper price. However, with the advancement of technology and cheapening price of printing materials, canvas wall art just became a whole lot more affordable. Canvas wall art is great for those wishing to add something new to any room of the house. They offer more style than photographs printed on simple paper.
If you have a large house, bare walls can be quite depressing to look at. By simply hanging new canvas wall art, you can bring life to a rather dreary setting.You can virtually print anything on canvas, giving you a tremendous opportunity to show off your personality. Want to bring the 50′s back? Hang a canvas wall art that depicts the period. You can have a picture of an old rock and roll band or probably a photo of the iconic cars that date back to that era. Do you love nature? Then you might want a picture of a beautiful flower or tree blown up and printed on canvas. It can be a photograph that you personally took. You can also have buildings, architecture, animals, the choices are endless. And best of all, whatever you choose as the subject of the canvas wall art will show your very own character.
But what if you don’t have the right kind of picture for your type of canvas wall art? You don’t need to worry since there are a lot of online galleries that offer almost any kind of canvas wall art. Places all over the world are captured in canvas, ready to be shipped to your address and hung in your wall. There are pictures of beaches, sunsets, gardens and waterfalls. More of a painting type of person? You also have the choice of printing reprints of excellent works of art in canvas. Works by Da Vinci, Picasso, and Van Gogh are all available for only a fraction of the cost. Now you can have the famous works of famous painters displayed in the comfort of your very own home.
If you are more of an adventurous type, you can opt to have a picture printed on multiple canvasses, giving you more versatility when it comes to arranging them. If paper wall art isn’t your cup of tea, try getting canvas art for your home.

Caulking Tips When Gapping Walls Ready For Painting, Part 2
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Welcome to the second part of caulking or gapping sealant which is as I mentioned such an important part of your home interior decoration prep work. [Make sure you read my first post on this 
]
The cut tip of the nozzle shapes the bead. If you twist or angle the gun, the shape of the bead will change. Once you have found your angle move along without twisting or shifting the gun. When coming to an obstruction or corner you might need to change angle, but keep your flow around corners and don’t stop the momentum you have gathered.
Now you will find you have to stop somewhere, so on the gun you are using somewhere near the trigger there will be a release mechanism or small lever [some models do not have these]. Depress the lever after your stroke and this will release the pressure off the gun. Then you can start again.
A wet rag is very handy; it’s good to keep things clean. It also plays a part in the finished product. After you have finished your bead of gaps use the wet rag over your finger to smooth and seat the gaps or caulk into the angle your working with.
Don’t press too hard [lightly] to even out the surface of the bead. I myself prefer to use a bare finger it’s quicker and you can feel what the gaps is doing. Also when buying a tube of caulk or gaps make sure it’s paintable. There are sealants on the markets that are silicone based and no matter what you try; paint will not stick to it. SO MAKE SURE IT’S PAINTABLE!!
So once again I hope this has helped you out with home interior decoration, with a few practice runs it’s a very easy little job to do …….happy gapping…………
And now here’s a tip from the top……when you’re finished with your tube of caulk or gaps and you know you won’t be using it for a while push a screw or a nail down the hole that you cut in the nozzle, this will stop the sealant in the tube from drying out. I’ve stored tubes for up to 9 months, ripped the screw out and used it again……….That’s it for caulking or gapping sealant the important prep work for your home interior decoration catch ya folks…………………………Wayne the painter

Caulking Tips When Gapping Walls Ready For Painting
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010A big part of home interior decoration is your preparation and getting the surface you’re working on ready to work with. When I enter a job for the first time and get the feel for the job, the first thing that sticks out at me is the damage to walls and surfaces. My pet hate in a job is seeing gaps. Not only does it let air in, but bugs and creepy crawlies find their way into your home. I make that room as water tight as I possibly can [if you filled it up with water you could float around in your lazy boy with your favourite beverage 
]. On a serious note a well caulked or gapped up room looks very professional and gives you nice exact line and corners which also makes painting a whole lot easier. So in this segment I’m going to explain how to caulk and apply gap sealants when home interior decoration. The goal here is to finish up with a nice neat bead of gap sealant.
One thing I always do before I start to gap is make sure I cut my nozzle correctly. It is vital for a nice pro finish that you get this part right. These nozzles have either a sealed end or small hole already in end of the nozzle. The art of gapping is all in the way you cut the nozzle. Get yourself a Stanley knife or box cutter and cut you nozzle about 3 to 4 mm from end on a very slight angle, making sure it’s a clean cut.
Remember the goal here is to have a consistent bead of gaps that doesn’t change in size or shape. You will need a few basic things like a rag to keep close by some water or dampening your rag is probably better and a really healthy pointer finger.
OK! No pit stops here for a smooth and continuous bead. Start at one end and flow carefully but steadily to the other, keeping a constant medium pressure on the trigger of the gun. Stopping and starting will result in an untidy and broken bead of gaps or caulk.
When doing a long area of caulking, for example skirting boards, you find your running out of trigger, quickly release you trigger and start pulling it again remembering to keep the angle of the gun so you don’t have gaps spewing outside the line of your nozzle. Now with the pressure left in the tube you’ll find you can keep moving during that split second interruption [try to keep even movement and flow, this is the art of gapping] ] ………… Now stay tuned for part B of caulking and using gap sealants and you’ll be a master caulker in a very short time. Remember Caulking and Gap Sealants are a big part of your home interior decoration…….Catch ya………………….Wayne the painter

Interior Wall Painting, Interior House Paint For Painting Plaster Walls
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Welcome back to “What interior house paint goes where and why” for interior wall painting. Like my last entry “of what interior house paint goes on ceilings” I’m going to explain what materials {paint} to apply when painting walls. So put your seat belt on, stick your drop sheets down, kick the cat and the dog out of the room and get ready to be injected with good, honest solid information about interior house paint for walls.
Firstly there are two basic types of walls, you’ll bound to have one of them, cause if you don’t your house will fall down!(God I kill myself )Anyway they are:
1.Plaster or wet set walls. They have even been known to be called soft plaster walls.
2.Probably the most commonly used material in the building industry, Plasterboard or gyprock plasterboard.
We’ll talk about No1 in this post, being painting plaster walls. These are the most important walls to get right because the biggest mistake people make when doing this type is not sealing their walls. The most common reason is cost cutting which is fine until the paint falls of the walls, then it’s a huge job. I’ve seen it first hand and it’s an ugly situation you don’t want to be in. Literally the whole house will end up this way and its a job that never ends so don’t scrimp on your sealer. Get it right the first time and believe me you’ll sleep better too.
So a good quality oil based sealer binder is the answer. It does exactly what it says. It seals from moisture and other elements and binds the surface together to give you a nice surface that your finish coats can grab hold of and stick hard to. You’ll get no peeling dramas or paint falling off later down the track and it’ll never have to be done again. Now try to use a good quality paint where it counts especially when it comes to painting walls. Walls get marked easily, animals lean against them and furniture scuffs up against them. The big one, if you have children, they see them as a big blank canvas and begin their first attempts at art class 101. I’m sure most of us have been there, right!
Now a pretty standard coating system for painting walls has always been and for 24 plus years of my painting life is {low sheen acrylic} its very washable with might I add warm soapy water….. a touch of dishwashing liquid usually does the trick. Low Sheen Acrylic is very user friendly and like I said if it’s a fairly premium product is very nice and easy to apply. So don’t forget when applying paints use two coats and get a nice thick durable coat on.
Well that is all for painting plaster walls, stay tuned for more interior painting tips in my next post of home painting. Read all about the second type of painting walls in “What interior house paint goes where and why”.
