Painting over laminate - can it be done??

Love the link Mrsmcee posted. That marble effect looks gorgeous - it reminded me that I bought a 90cm wide roll to make sure I didn't have to worry about extra seams lining up though. Its a bit more expensive but vs the cost of new worktops I felt it was worth it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A6OFLYK?ref_=pe_1365641_54848841 Also found the specific type of plastic paddle thingy I used - this time referred to as a 'smoother' lol. Comes with an scalpel knife which is was also essential for cutting neat edges. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Application-applying-self-adhesive-smoother-flawless/dp/B00W6XSIIK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1458124458&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=dc+fix+butcherblock As far as colours go I think a wood effect is very forgiving and also will help warm up the space. I would probably avoid the dark marble type finishes since if you do scratch the surface the product has a white 'base' under the printed pattern which is what tends to show through on the scratch. This isn't very noticeable on the butcher-block and probably barely noticeable on white marble but I think it would be much more obvious with a dark pattern. I actually used a much cheaper sticky back vinyl to cover all the cupboards doors in a basic white. You can just about tell in the before photo I posted that they were a pale duck-egg blue which wasn't so bad but the laminate was unfortunately cracking in places. The vinyl has held everything together and made for an easy clean surface rather than painting which would have let the laminate deteriorate further. It comes in lots more colours and 10m lengths making it better value for money but was also thinner and trickier to work with. So if you wanted a flat colour for the top it's another option since there's loads of colour-ways and matt and gloss finish to choose from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-mtr-x-610mm-or-A4-Self-Adhesive-Sticky-Back-Plastic-Sign-Vinyl-/221652279467?var=520509553716 I was very tempted to go with the matt grey but decided to play it safe with the glossy white in the end. Anyway, I'm starting to feel like a real sticky back plastic nerd now! Just wish I could be a bespoke high end kitchen nerd instead lol.

I am a total F & B superfan, but, I don't use their exterior paint any longer I have found Dulux Weathershield to be far more superior and longer lasting. I used Dark Acorn and its the exact same shade as the F & B that was on before. Have used Cornforth and Amnonite on the inside of my home - and both lovely. Also I have found that external colours fade quite quickly (although the Weathershield less so) ... and maybe less on a North aspect. Just a thought.

What to do with my stairs in my newly bought victorian house?

Hi, I love the idea that Spaced Out has offered above as that would have been my suggestion upon first reading as well. I am about to 'paint a runner' on my own white painted stairs at the moment to compliment grey walls and a black front door - considering black similar to the example in blue shown above. I think it can be quite striking and very easily fits into a Scandinavian interior. Do choose paint wisely, and spend on quality in this case as stairs are hit with heavy feet and can show wear and tear quickly particularly if they are original. I have the same in my own house and have already had to do touch ups twice since we moved in two years ago. Another suggestion would be to ask your painter to put sand in your paint - not too much but just a bit - as it creates a natural tread on stairs that can be quite helpful. Painted stairs can be very slippery! Best of luck in your new home!

We've never tried what you're considering Charlotte, but us flooring gurus think it extremely unlikely to work. Let's say you find a primer that helps paint key to the laminate, allowing it to also dry, we just can't see the paint adhering enough. We reckon paint will scratch off very easily. Laminates have a kind of have a protective wear layer which will make it almost impossible to paint. Think in reverse. If you had a laminate down and you spilled paint over it, you'd hope and expect the paint to easily wipe off. Laminates are engineered to prevent what you are aiming to do from being able to happen. Not a ploy from the laminate manufacturer. An engineered fact, we'd say. You dig?
