Guest Bedroom

This bedroom in Mayfield, East Sussex was in need of updating, old wallpaper and large cracks on the ceiling.

So we set about removing the old wallpaper and prepping the walls ready for new lining paper to be hung, the ceiling cracks were cut our and filled and one large crack required taping.

All the white furniture was prepped, degreased and primed prior to re painting.

Ceiling was finished in Tikkurila AR2 white.

Walls finished with Dulux Diamond Matt mixed to match Farrow & Ball Calke Green.

All wood work finished in Tikkurila Helmi 10

Water Damage

We returned to this property in Burwash to carry out some repairs to a room we decorated two years ago.

This water damaged ceiling and part of the walls had unfortunately succumbed to a leak from the bathroom on the floor above, it was now fully dried and covered in mould, we cleaned, prepared and stain blocked the water damaged areas then blended in the paint work into the existing areas giving a flawless finish you would never know it had been repaired.

The room is now ready to welcome the Christmas visitors

Kitchen & Utility

We recently refreshed and updated this kitchen in Stonegate East Sussex.

All cabinetry hand painted, prepared and degreased with Tikkurila Maalipesu, primed with Caparol Haftprimer then finished with x 2 coats of Tikkurila Helmi 10 mixed to Paint & Paper Library Ivory 1.

Walls painted in Tikkurila Optiva 5 mixed to Paint & Paper Library Ivory 3.

Ceilings painted in Dulux Trade Brilliant White.

Doors, Architraves and skirting painted in Tikkurila Helmi 10 White.

New Porch

Just been back to revisit this job we completed a couple of months ago.

This new front porch has had a great transformation as you will see when you get to the before pictures.

Our clients choice of colour is superb and he is slowly getting lots of work done to his ground floor flat in Tunbridge Wells, we can’t wait to go back and see it again once the garden has been transformed.

All masonry painted in Dulux Weathershield matched to Farrow & Ball Sudbury Yellow.

Door painted in Tikkurila ultra Matt matched to Farrow & Ball Treron.

Windows and panelling painted in Tikkurila Ultra Matt (exterior) and Tikkurila Helmi 10 (interior) matched to Fired Earth Chalk White

Entrance hall modernisation

This large entrance hall, landing and front porch got a much needed facelift from its original decor.

The old colour had become bland and was in much need of a refresh.

Our customer had selected a few colours to choose from until her final decision and I really think she hit the nail on the head! ….I was a bit dubious at first when given the go ahead but when it came together the realisation on how well the colours compliment each other in this large space along with the existing wallpaper and furnishings then it really gives you the wow factor!

Colours are Farrow & Ball Churlish Green for the main walls and Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue for the feature wall, all mixed in Johnstone’s cleanable matt emulsion.

Ceilings we’re painted with Johnstone’s perfect matt brilliant white and the woodwork in Johnstone’s oilbased eggshell in brilliant white.

Happy New Year

After a nice relaxing Christmas break we are back to work…..starting with this Hallway/Landing/Staircase.

Lots of prep on the walls and ceilings as the previous owner had really sloshed the paint on!
Now all refreshed and ready for the new carpets.

Walls painted in Farrow & Ball Strong White and ceilings in Johnstone’s Perfect Matt.

Merry Christmas

For our last job of the year we have come to rural Penshurst in Kent.

This living room needed freshening up and keeping a cosy but up to date feel so the client opted for Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue.

We were fed well here just to make sure we got the job completed in time, so plenty of bacon sandwiches and mince pies.

All Paint used was Johnstone’s trade, Perfect Matt for the ceiling, satin on the woodwork and cleanable matt for the walls.

Dunkirk revisited part 2

So we couldn’t fit all the photos into part 1 hence part 2.

We gave the entrance hall a makeover, with a nice colour change in keeping with the property.

The oak front door had split and cracked badly meaning we had to burn most of the existing paint away and a lot of sand it down, the door was filled where required and a good oil based adhesion primer used before we applied x 2 coats of Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell.

All paints used are Farrow & Ball and the colours are: Sulking Room Pink, Matchstick and Dix Blue.

Dunkirk revisited part 1

Last year we had the pleasure of decorating the newly converted bell tower of this Grade II listed church which itself is converted into a family home.

This time we have returned to refresh the main living areas.

The ceiling is the largest we have done to date, it had cracks running through and areas of plaster falling away where there had been water leaks, we sanded the whole ceiling filled and stain blocked all the damaged areas then sealed them, we then painted 2 coats of Johnstone’s perfect matt to achieve the perfect look.

All walls were repaired in the same way with a Farrow & Ball Colour scheme in a modern emulsion.

Colours used are Pointing, Blue Grey, Setting Plaster, Oxford Stone and Matchstick.
