Painting

We decided (well, I decided!) to use an eco-friendly paint called "Oikos", which has zero VOCs (and apparently covers any nasties that might have been on the wall previously). It came from the "Designer paint company" in Surrey Hills - highly recommended for their friendly service, and it seemed pretty cheap to me (although this is my first paint job so have nothing to compare with!).

Richard painted the house with some help from my dad, and it looks fab - the previous paint job was terrible - they hadn;t even painted some parts of the plasterboard, and in the lounge they had repainted at some stage, but not bothered to move the furniture so there were outlines of couches and tables on the walls !!

Lets see if I can post some before and after shots below...


Before, in some weirdo pink colour









 After with "Silver princess" on the walls, plain white on the ceiling. The Skirting will eventually be that dark silver you can see on the window frame...
