Entrance Hall/Landing & Staicase

When our client moved into their new home they were desperate to get rid of the grubby and stained wallpaper adorning their walls and we were more than happy to help them out.

We stripped away the old wallpaper, prepped and filled all the walls until we were satisfied that when lined they would have a great finish.

The walls were lined with a 1400 grade lining paper then walls and ceilings were painted in Johnstone’s trade vinyl matt brilliant white emulsion, all wood work was prepped, filled, caulked and primed and then finished with 2 coats of Johnstone’s trade oil based satin finish in brilliant white.

Home Office

We have been experiencing a fast change and evolution in our lives due to the pandemic, more people working from home thus needing to create a space for our working environments.
This home office designed and built by James Knight Interiors and hand painted by ourselves in a fine roller finish.

Colour is House White by Farrow & Ball mixed in Tikkurila Helmi 80.

Last full exterior of the year...from Drab…to Fab!

This property in Tunbridge Wells was looking very worn an weathered, we turned it around with a full fungicidal wash, repaired and filled all the cracks and sealed,

Walls were painted in Johnstone’s Stormsheild mixed to match Sanderson Whitstable Blue, the surrounds painted in Dulux Weathershield pure brilliant white.

We primed the fence with Zinsser bullseye 123 then followed with 2 coats of Zinsser Allcoat Satin white.

Still searching for summer

Weather wasn’t the only delay with this one….we had to search the whole country to get the paint!
But finally we got our 2nd exterior of the year completed.

This property in Crowborough, East Sussex was looking very tired, covered in mould and algae growth and very weathered , the timbers were very dry and the paint in many places barely holding on.

We set about by spraying the whole house in a fungicide then the next day we jet washed everything, this took a lot of the paint off the timbers back to bare wood and what the jet washer didn’t remove the elbow grease with the aid of sandpaper did.

All the render and timber was painted in Zinsser Allcoat Matt finish.

First exterior of the year completed.

We started this exterior in Wadhurst, East Sussex in early May……then came the rain!……then the hail!……then the thunderstorms!…..then the strong winds!….but finally the sun got his hat on!

All painted in Zinsser Allcoat Satin, front door in Farrow & Ball Green Smoke (Johnstone’s colour match).

Kitchen Refurbishment

This large kitchen with a vaulted ceiling was a tricky one ….but not a problem for us!
Ceilings and end walls were painted in Johnstone’s cleanable matt brilliant white.

Side walls were painted in Johnstone’s cleanable matt matched to Farrow and Ball Strong White.

All kitchen cabinets were hand painted in Johnstone’s oil based eggshell to match Farrow & Ball Hague Blue.

A room to relax.

This room next to the home cinema felt cold and empty, we prepared all walls and woodwork (with exceptions) and painted with Farrow & Ball Elephannts Breath , one window was painted in Farrow & Ball Green smoke to match the bespoke bookshelves with ‘hidden door’.

Feature wall was sized and crosslined before we hung the large panels of Andrew Martin ‘Mythical Land’.

This room is still a work in progress but I’m sure you can see by the results so far that this is a space which will be much loved and enjoyed.

Pool Room

Wadhurst, East Sussex
This pool room had a water stained ceiling plus uneven plaster work which being a light room you could see all the ripples, bumps and roller marks due to the light bouncing from the standard matt emulsion, we thoroughly prepared and used Johnstone’s Perfect matt emulsion which has a very low sheen level giving you the illusion of a perfectly flat ceiling.

The walls had hairline cracks throughout amongst other imperfections, after all the prep the walls were finished off with Dulux trade goose white.

Woodwork finished in Johnstone’s pure brilliant white eggshell.
