Do I paint the mantelpiece (and picture rail)?
Comments (24)Hi - I wouldn't paint the fireplace or the mantel - particularly if it is the original, the fire surround tiling looks original possibly I can't tell from the pick. I would remove the picture rail completely, then I would build white cupboard doors and box in your book shelves then build a matching pair of door cupboards and and mount on the right handside of the chimney breast - wall mount your TV and satellite box etc on a tilting cantilever bracket with a shelf either above or below to store all your DVD's xbox games etc.. The doors are easy to make from MDF or tongue and groove, paint them white ( or cream and they will hide and safely store all your bits and pieces.) Choose hinges that you like to set it off. Then when you look at your fire place your eye will be drawn to it as a focal point, cosy in winter, lovely flower vase or plants when not in use, and by disguising any clutter and raising the eye level your room will look bigger too! - let us know what you do and post an updated pick !...See MoreIs this picture rail original 1930s?
Comments (22)Just so you know, these parts are made on a tool called s spindle;e (small scale manufacturing). if you really really want to get the shape "just so" the supplier will be able to have a profile made for you, a new profile blade for a spindle machine will cost between £200 and £300. They may also have a minimum order OR they might ask you to pay a modest amount towards "set up time" (changing the blade over, etc.) I use Ternex in Welwyn for this sort of thing, their existing profiles can be seen here...https://www.flickr.com/photos/exploitspace/albums/72157669236158295...See MoreWhat paint would you use on a banister hand rail?
Comments (4)Ha ha, maybe, but I doubt it. I’m not much of a cleaner. It could be the type of cleaner I suppose. If I use anything it’s either flash spray or a shot of diluted zoflora. We only painted it in spring. Our last house was similar and I definitely didn’t clean that as much as there wasn’t an ongoing global pandemic in progress when we lived there. Maybe my husband is using something else on it?...See MoreBathroom cloakroom paint - railings
Comments (6)What about a really dark green? I agree with someone else who thought there was a clash with the tiles (which are very nice tiles). I’m not a colour expert but I think you need to steer away from dark colours that have a blue-ish tone....See MoreSonia
