Plastering & Painting

Dining Room

A couple of weeks ago we finally started to do some of the plastering prep work around our recently installed bifold doors and with the occasional glimpse of sunshine we’re starting to get really excited about being able to use them. We’re so happy with how the door looks, but it’s definitely let down by the unfinished wall and the fact that there’s a 60 cm drop when you open them! I think we’d better get our decking built as soon as possible! Having already dry lined the wall with ... Read the Post

Magnetic Plastering in Progress!

Magnetic Plaster - In Progress

[Ad - This post is in collaboration with Rooms Made For You.] A couple of weeks ago Jan and I shared our plans for our newest project - a hallway makeover with magnetic plaster! (You can read about what we’re planning here.) We’d always known that this would one of the last rooms that we’d get round to finishing. Inevitably it’s the one space in the house that ends up being affected no matter what home improvement job we’re tackling. Tools get dragged through it, builders leave their ... Read the Post

The Best Way To Paint New Plaster

How To Paint New Plaster

Now we’ve completed plastering our fourth bedroom, we’re super excited to be able to move onto the more fun part of getting this room finished and we’re starting with painting everything including painting our newly plastered walls. The room has already come a long and definitely doesn’t look like this anymore but there’s still a lot to do to get it finished. First up on our long list of jobs to complete is priming the new plaster walls for painting. As much as we’d love to start ... Read the Post

Getting Plastered

Plastering Walls

It’s exactly a week to go before our visitors arrive and our fourth bedroom is still a complete mess. Having finally had the boiler moved into the cellar and a new window installed (more on that soon) things are definitely moving on, however, it’s definitely one of those situations where things tend to look worse before they get better. We need a new floor, the 2nd fix of the electrics and the room needs plastering & painting. Oh, and of course it needs furnishing, too. Over the ... Read the Post

The Epic Staircase Restoration Project – Part 2 – Staining, Painting & Varnishing

Staircase Restoration

Yesterday we told you about the first part of our staircase restoration project - stripping and sanding (you can catch up on the first phase here). The first stage of the restoration was definitely the most involved. After weeks of sanding, I can't tell you how much we've been looking forward to painting everything. This is what the staircase looked like when we'd almost completed the stripping and sanding. If you're thinking we're completely mad spending so many hours stripping and ... Read the Post
