Paint finish

6 years ago

Hello again,

What type of finish was used with the Fall Foliage? I have six large north facing windows and am unsure about flat, matte, eggshell, satin, etc. Thank you in advance for sharing this beautiful home and the valuable information with your followers!

Hi Henry-I used an eggshell finish. You will love the color!

What's your preferred paint finish? Gloss or matt?

Definitely prefer Matt for walls, but love oil based gloss for woodwork. I've tried water based soft sheen for woodwork in the past but found it hard to get a good finish and dirt clings to it. I'm getting los of favourable interest in my latest brilliant white doors and skirting. Cleaning brushes is a bit more trouble but well worth it I think.

Valspar satin wood takes a long time to dry between coats irrelevant of what it says on the tin, i'd say leave 24 hours between coats, it has a high acrylic content and remains tacky feeling for a long time. When you're using a small foam roller, which does give a great finish, you may well find that you need to put on 5 or 6 coats to build up the paint level that you'd achieve with two coats of a brush. In my opinion ( and i've done a LOT of painting in my time ), you cannot beat Dulux Trade Professional Satinwood for coverage, You're better of wih a brush, ( dulux, and designed for satinwood paint ). Dulux satinwood 'gels together' as it dries and leaves you with a smooth surface. It's better paint, dries much faster, gives a better finish. If you've got a lot more to do, i'd ditch the valspar, head for the dulux shop and you will be glad you did.

The ‘Harrison’s’ case study not only typifies the calibre of Heaven and Stubbs work, but also, to some extent, a look that they have made all of their own. This look is a ‘fusion’ style; that’s to say a clever blend of traditional period cabinetry and contemporary 21st styling. This makes the commissions not only beautiful to look at, but also, in tune with today’s tastes and living requirements – providing a space which besides fulfilling a home’s cooking / food preparation needs, also fulfils today’s additional needs. These additional needs being a relaxing, family socialising space, a place in which to entertain friends and quite often, a home working space too. In this instance and Edwardian design, in tune with the period of the property, has been blended with contemporary design cues such as the finishes (washed oak with a bright and exciting purple paint finish) and an integrated bench seating and dining table arrangement. This kitchen space, as you can see, is truly vast since the extension, in which it is situated, incorporated a few of the properties former outbuildings. The space was large enough to incorporate two large island arrangements; one which combines a breakfast bar as well as the afore mentioned integrated dining arrangement on the reverse side. The other island, besides being packed with storage and concealed / integrated appliances, incorporates an end grain oak – radius end - chopping block and at the opposite end, a computer work station / home working area. Large kitchens like this are particularly difficult areas to design. Off the shelf standard sized furniture and simply filling the space with runs of cabinets wouldn’t work. It takes a combination of true bespoke cabinet size and shape - manufacturing flexibility combined with the skills of an experienced bespoke designer such as Howard (Stubbs) to make such a space work. The furniture also has to be in scale with the rooms architecture. Other bespoke touches include the coloured glass splash back (behind the Aga) which Heaven and Stubbs had specially made to match the colour of the furniture. Clever technical touches include the Accoya timber material used – a special extra stable material which doesn’t move and therefore crack the silky smooth paint finish with temperature and moisture / atmospheric changes. The single piece granite worktops - despite their truly vast size and weight - Heaven and Stubbs managed to creates both island worktops in single pieces of granite. The lack of joins made for a seamless finish. Its often the seemingly little touches like these, that make a Heaven & Stubbs furniture commission so special. This project clearly demonstrates that function and form can work in perfect harmony as well as the true levels substance behind the Heaven & Stubbs brand.

What colour/finish should I do on this table - my first project!
Q

Hi. Just been browsing Pinterest and remembered your post. Did you buy the table? It’s very classical, think they refer to it as a regency style drum table. If you plan to re paint a different colour there’s no need to strip it, just sand lightly and paint over the top. I don’t think you’d be able to restore it to its original glory tho, looks like it had a leather top which has been scraped off. So many ways you could decorate it tho. Here’s some ideas:
