Well, do you?

With modern paints, it’s a necessity to give the top edge a little wipe, or else the next time you use it, you will have a tub full of crusty bits. And nobody wants that.

This is a technique I am finding myself using more and more now, and it helps speed things up with areas of panelling etc like this. I spray an area, and then use a laying off brush to add subtle brushstrokes to keep th character and in keeping with the age of the building (this is 1750s) .
After 1.5 days of prep, sanding and filling… I then spray primed the primer coat in about ten minutes. And then as you can see here, another 30 minutes on the topcoat, with brushing it out too. It’s a total no brainer imo, and I can now tackle the sash openers by hand, and get cracking with the walls and ceiling! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Let me give it to you in Spanish. 🗣️
•Déjame explicártelo en español.

I seem to have a large amount of followers from around the world whose first language is Spanish. So let’s give this a try!
•Parece que tengo muchos seguidores de todo el mundo cuya lengua materna es el español. ¡Así que vamos a intentarlo!
Restauración de una puerta principal de estilo eduardiano.

Les mostraré cómo restauré esta puerta y su marco. Bueno… casi todos los pasos, porque o no grabé el proceso o mi carrete de fotos simplemente lo borró. ¡Así que tendrán que usar su imaginación!

Ya me han visto preparar todo mil veces, así que apliquen los mismos métodos 😅.

Por cierto, ¿qué les parece este rosa chillón?

¿Les gusta el brillo sutil o hubieran optado por un acabado brillante? ¡Recuerden, no hay una forma correcta o incorrecta!

Let me show you how I restored this door and frame. Well…most of the steps anyway, I was either slacking in getting ’during’ footage, or my camera roll black hole has just swallowed it up. So you need to use your imagination on that one!
You have seen me prep a thousand times, so just apply the same methods 😅 .

Anyway, sulking room pink: why do you think?

Do you like the subtle soft sheen, or would you have gone for full gloss? Remember, there is no right and wrong!

A RED DOOR ♥️❤️♥️❤️

And a shiny one at that ✨✨
You have probably seen this door plenty of times on my profile, but with a batch of new followers, I thought I would show it off incase they missed it. (Nothing at all to do with me being late to the party watching Stranger Things, seeing this clip and having a lightbulb moment 💡🤪)

Product used: Tikkurila Miranol high gloss.

What methods do you use to achieve the perfect finish? And what are your favourite brushes for high gloss finishing?

For me, ‘it’s not a one brush fits all’
A lot to consider down to the paint, the surface, temperature etc.
But certainly flat laying off brushes (or Spackel brushes for my followers accross the pond)

(And no, I shouldn’t have ‘just sprayed it’ 😂)

Have your say in the comments 🎙️

ROLL A WALL: LIKE A (WINGING IT) PRO!

Maybe it’s not how you you be taught ‘by the book’ But this is how I roll a wall to get it looking even and flat, (almost) every time. 👌🏼

Just as a little side-note, I had already cut in with a brush and used a mini roller to create a uniform stipple when I use the main roller.

side note to the side note:
YES, i’m fully aware that I could and maybe should have used a bigger roller, but I didn’t have any clean ones in the van, OKAAAAYYYYY 😏

Let me know if i’m doing it all wrong! 😖

TRUST YOUR PROCESS!!

It’s a term I use a lot. Perhaps TOO much.
But to me, although decorating isn’t exactly rocket science, I do have tried and tested methods for how I do things. Sure, I make mistakes along the way. It’s the only way you grow. But I try and apply a little common sense on how I think different materials may perform. With this door going white, I wanted to limit cracking as much as possible. All joints were repaired with Repaircare resin. As you can see at the start too, I repaired 2 pieces of moulding wit the same resin. I will of course get the comments of ‘why didn’t you do it properly and replace those mouldings?’ … I might be wrong, but that particular shape likely isn’t available ‘off the shelf’ and getting a new one cut would take time and extra money. But what I do have was enough resin to get the job done. This keeps the job moving, and I have zero doubts that it’ll last just fine.

Parts of what I did look messy and overkill, like the instant nails to fill the gaps, before priming and then caulking. But I was looking to bond it all, before also then having the caulk act as a flexible barrier if anything does move slightly. Only time will tell, and I will do a revisit at some point in the future to show how it has lasted, as an example.

What would you have done differently, if anything?I would love to know!

Yes, I could have used a radiator roller, but where’s the fun in that? Yes the client could have paid a plumber to take it off for me, but it’s unnecessary, and what’s the point in draining a whole central heating system, it’ll only mean less content for me anyway!

SIDE NOTE: I did actually do the whole thing with just this one ding, which I didn’t even realise until I saw the footage back, I was mortified. 😭

SIDE OF THE SIDE NOTE: for all those eagle eyes among you, yes I did paint the bottom inch with a little long fitch brush at the end 😊

SIDE OF THE SIDED SIDE NOTE: I know what you are thinking. WHAT ABOUT THE SKIRTING BOARD?! well, no prep, straight on with the trim paint. What’s a man to do?

Anyway, til next time 🫡

Worlds easiest job.

According to all other trades 🧐 it’s so easy, you could do it blindfolded.

Do you agree? or like me do you wish they could have a day in a painters shoes an find out the hard way it’s not all plain sailing 😝
