Advice needed : kitchen cabinet update / painting cabinets
Comments (8)Hi, I have just finished repainting my kitchen myself. Overall I am happy with the new look, but I think the final verdict is only possible after some time (to see if the paint hardens enough). I have used Ammonite Farrow and Ball which is very warm grey colour. It looks nice in dark corners as well. Had to apply 4 coats of paint after 3 coats of FB primer. So be aware of the quantities. I must say that the process of repainting was not an easy ride. I spent overall three weeks (full time weekends and doing some smaller works in the evenings). Preparation is the hardest part (sanding, sanding and sanding), while painting is also a vey delicate process). If you are not afraid of hard work do it yourself! Otherwise, a professional is always a good option. Check traditionalpainter.com website they have a number of good instructions on repainting the cabinets....See MoreNeed to update 5 year old girl's room inspiration please
Comments (15)I think a very pale aqua paint would look lovely with the pink accessories and the white furniture. It’s one of those colours that looks good as a background against many colours so it would be easy for you to update the room as your daughter gets older. Also I wondered if you can fit the bed against the wall with the headboard in the corner against the wardrobe wall, then the bedside cabinet (then the wardrobe), and put the chest of drawers under the existing butterfly picture, that would give some floor space for playing. You could also add an inexpensive rug. Here’s a picture of wall colour I was thinking of:...See MoreBedroom update for young teen
Comments (48)We were on our way to removing the RH long bit to make the desk straight but stopped here at a half-way house position - just to consider it. We do a lot of procrastinating in my house!! Means retaining the large corner space. Needs a new top, obvs and in a different shape, probably curved? What do you think? Now got a fair bit of free wall. Daughter likes it:) Electrician comes next week so we need to decide this weekend....See MoreBEFORE AND AFTER DECKING UPDATE
Comments (47)New Girl thank you for your lovely kind comments. I did Click & Collect so paid ahead and then collected the paint. I’ve just checked my local stores, nearest one in Letchworth, Herts, and many of them have about 8 cans per store, so is your store telling porkies? I would research any paints you buy as paying more doesn’t always mean better quality. Silver Birch was one I considered and it does look lovely. Good luck!...See Moreminnie101
