Recently completed in Bedlington

A full decorating project covering the living room, dining room, kitchen, utility, hallway, stairs & landing.

We started by stripping the feature wall wallpaper, carrying out repairs where needed and thoroughly sanding the walls throughout.

The kitchen & utility required a little more preparation, including repairing blown tapes and cracks around the kitchen ceiling and treating the utility ceiling with Johnstone’s Stain Away.

Finishes throughout:
• Ceilings – Tikkurila Anti-Reflex 2 White Matt
• Walls – Macpherson’s Mid Sheen, colour matched to Dulux Malt Chocolate
• Woodwork – Johnstone’s Aqua Guard Satin
• Utility ceiling – Johnstone’s Stain Away

🏠 Oscar’s Bedroom Makeover

During the recent summer holidays, I put my time to good use giving my son Oscar’s bedroom a complete makeover — while he was recovering in the garden cabin in his moon boot! 😂

What started with breaking down his built-in floating bed quickly turned into a much bigger project.
With a bit of help from my wife Claire, we stripped the walls, removed all the old woodwork and then got some help in to board and skim the entire room.
A massive thanks to James Elliott Plastering for helping get the room ready. 👌
Once everything had dried out, I applied a mist coat before switching my usual decorating kit for some new skirting and architrave.
And then… back to my bread and butter!

Woodwork:
Caulked where needed, fully undercoated and finished with Johnstone’s Aqua Guard Satin.
Walls:
Finished in Dulux Trade Diamond Matt, matched to Farrow & Ball School House White. And yes… that was paint I found lurking in my shed! 🫣 It had been there a while, so definitely needed straining before use.
Ceiling:
Painted with WRX Ceiling Paint, which I was given to trial.
For the price, I think it’s a good paint — but personally, I still prefer our go-to Tikkurila Anti-Reflex 2.
Quite a transformation from where we started, and definitely one of those jobs where the finished result makes all the graft worthwhile! 💪

For the 2nd job of the week, we headed over to Morpeth for another visit to a repeat customer. 👌
This time, we were working exclusively on the woodwork throughout the Hall, Stairs & Landing.
As we’ve done on many similar projects, we’ve gone for Bradite One Can Black Eggshell to give the woodwork a smart, hard-wearing finish and really make the natural wood doors stand out. 🖤
Another job finished and another happy customer! 🙌
