New Zoya Wall

Hey Friends

Today on the blog I'm sharing the progress so far of re-doing the Zoya Wall.

Last year I ran out of rack space to hold the majority of the Zoya, the racks where all different sizes and the rows did not line up either, so I decided to buy new racks, the best value I found were individual rows in packs of 12. That turned into quite the adventure to get the right thing via amazon but we finally made it.  

Then we started with removing all the bottles into 2 boxes, each both is holding 350 bottles, there are 4 helmer drawers holding the others who did not fit on the racks. The Dash water boxes where perfect along with the bases the cans sat in.

Empty racks about to be removed from the wall, you can see that last set of racks on the right did not line up with the other racks.

Then we started painting, this is one coat, the paint colour is from Wickes and called Purple Passion, I decided on dark and rich.

Three coats later and its a stunning colour and very similar to the helmer colour that Ikea used to do.

I also got new blinds, the sheer ones let enough light in if I need to find colours to do comparisons with and then I have the blackout blind which will stay down 95% of the time to project the polish from sunlight.

The grey noodle mat is for the cats, so that if they visit they have a nice place to hang out with a view. I also got a new smart bulb and lamp shade for the main room light.

We're now at the laying the racks out for spacing etc as they are going to be attached to wooden boards to them be attached to the wall.
