These doors were sprayed with polyurethane based paint, as for the color it was chosen from Farrow and Ball range - Elephants Breath.

Those gates really do look good. We advise our customers that if they want a painted finish NOT to go for hardwood. The cost can easily double (if not treble) in price and there is no real advantage if instead using a slow grown softwood! In fact, density level of iroko (hardwood) and slow grown redwood pine is extremely close. Yes hardwood is dense but so is some softwoods. Also, the natural beauty of hardwood with a quality oil finish is stunning and seems a crime to paint - in our opinion!

Hi, It depends what you want to achieve. Do you want to make a feature of it.. Go Olive. Or do you want to blend it in and minimise its impact so as not draw attention to it? Regards, Gina

Victorian hallway - to paint or not to paint?

I had exactly the same dilemma - neighbours told us how long the previous owner had spent stripping all the wood, and in the end we lived with it for about 10 years! It eventually got to me last summer as I was lusting after lovely white painted stairs with a nice runner. I bought the paint and then bottled it!!! I ended up with a slight compromise - I painted the wood stringers (just googled that, so hoping it’s the right term!) white. I also painted the skirting and the walls white along with other bits of wood that we seemed to have exposed at the top between the ceiling and the floor of the next level. I also ditched the idea of painted stairs (because a friend pointed out that the cleaning requirements were perhaps higher than I could maintain!!) and we went with a grey striped full width carpet. I also painted just one short wall in the hall a navy blue as it was left over from another project. A year on and the hallway still makes me smile - and we still have the wood, although it seems less domineering now. I’ll try and attach a photo - it’s not a brilliant one because it was taken at night - however in the day time it’s much brighter!

Aw shucks guys! Thanks! I’m definitely aiming for a tiny bit more stylish. My partner brought that heinous green drainer from his house and was everso pleased with himself for solving a problem I wasn’t aware I had! And the el cheapo Wilko kettle is a placeholder til I get a boiling water tap, so I haven’t upgraded it for three years. Plus he’s got a brewing corner in the kitchen, and a 3D printing bench in the utility. I’m just glad to have his wallpapering skills! Though we had a difficult conversation when he replaced my Henry who fitted under the stairs for his Dyson which doesn’t :-)
