Best paint for a wooden fireplace?
Comments (8)Hello. Little Greene is certainly our paint of choice at the moment; our decorators find it very easy to use and (importantly) easy to touch up later without any discernable change in shade. I would suggest that you prime the wood first, of course; there's a great product called Zinsser 123 which we use regularly to save time and effort (we've used it on whole staircases and spindles without having to rub the whole lot down first). I'll just throw in another idea to see if it appeals - we recently painted a fireplace the same grey as the wall to give it a contemporary feel (we painted all of it!); below are some before and after images. How would an olive surround look against your olive wall? I also wonder about your tiles and whether you would live with them as they are or paint them too (or replace them in the fullness of time). Hope this helps for now....See MorePOLL: Win an iPad Air - pick an emerging brand from 100% Design!

Comments (29)keep the frieze white, I know that it might be tempting to paint it to go, but as it is likely an original feature, and was originaly white, plaster friezes should just stay white. not briliant white dulux, like an art gallery but a lovely natural white, like shirting from the little greene paint co. UNless you are painting them with golds etc in some palace I fell they always look much better white. and try not to get too much contrast in your paints, look for a pinky greys , lilac shadow from sanderson paints, mirage from the little green paint company , and fig greyt from zoffany are all examples of greys that hit a pinky tone, but GET SAMPLES they are invaluable for the seeing the nuances of shade and sublteties that only the light in your room will pick up. i can send you paint charts if ytou need them karly...See MoreBest kitchen layout for side return extension
Comments (41)Hi Jane! You said you have little ones so want to avoid climbing opportunities for now. That makes sense but it's also worth thinking about in a year or so when you might want to start involving them in cooking, baking cakes etc, and then you could find it really helpful to be able to sit them up so they can also "work" along with you. If you're on the other side of a peninsula or island to them then you can keep sharp stuff away from them and help them with mixing, weighing, etc... Always worth looking towards the next stages when you're designing with kids because they'll grow and it can take a bit of time to finish a project - they likely will have changed in many tiny and maybe big ways before it's all complete. Hope this helps! Jane, i-architect.co.uk...See MoreHandy Ma'am
