We have a workaholic builder son in law who does ours to keep himself busy. Front room is done every 5 years. As I say to the wife, what's the point, it will only get mucky again. Apparently colours go out of fashion, who'd have thought it!!! When I suggest respraying the car a different colour I get 'that' look.

Had the whole place re plastered last year and decorated. Don't intend to see a paint brush for at least 3 years thanks.

We moved in to our current house ( bungalow ) 8 years ago , it was a new build so freshly decorated, I went round 2 years later and repainted all the gloss work and changed the colour of the walls. Last year I had a decorator come in to do all the ceilings as I have dodgy shoulders and I'm waiting for an operation, well NAUGHTY WORD me he started in the living room kitchen area and I then through him out literally , the paint was patchy he hadn't cut it in properly and when he offered to wipe the walls down with decorators wipes and leave some paint for touch up I lost it total bodger yet his customer reviews were all good never again never, I ended up doing the ceiling myself and had to touch up the walls it took me a day and a half to finish and I had to clean paint from the kitchen unit doors fridge and many other surfaces PROFESSIONAL my NAUGHTY WORD.

It feels like...
I think I'm living on the Forth bridge...
I'm doing the hall, stairs and landing right now and then freshening up the dining room. I have found something interesting about paint during the process, I used Dulux gloss White in the living room and it's Yellowing after eighteen months, I used the Dulux gloss White primer first on the coving and the woodwork, it's the woodwork that's Yellowing, the coving is still bright White but has the Matt finish. I'm going to paint the woodwork with the primer and then use a water based varnish to give it the shine, I reckon it won't go Yellow if I'm right. |

Not for a long while I hope, as we had a new kitchen just before Christmas, so that doesn’t need doing, and we’ve done the rest of the house during lockdown!
(just one coat of the same colours which I had ‘in stock/left over’, apart from white paint for the woodwork which I bought online and collected).

I don’t use gloss on woodwork now, I use a soft sheen, put on with a brush, and then go over it straightaway with a small sponge roller, to get rid of the brush marks. Gives a slight stippled finish, almost as if it’s been sprayed on, which I like.
