Advice on painting an old desk black
Comments (36)A Yew dining table and chairs? There is a good chance that you could sell for a large amount, buy exactly what you want to replace them in your new look and have a tidy bit of money to spare. Not forced to be correct, but worth checking out first. I am a big fan of preserving, renovating and repurposing but when considering repurposing I do check this out first. Since the point of repurposing is meant to be to save money as well as reducing materials used in getting a new look, then the idea of selling them (thus not wasted) has to be looked at first. Once repurposed the process cannot be undone and the value of the item as an original is gone. Of course a lot of things are great for repurposing as they are not of a condition or design or material that others want in the current condition, so fine, modify to your heart's content - I do that too. For example I have some furniture made from pallets. I made armchairs and a coffee table from a type of polystyrene used to space large pipes during transport (I had to sell them as I got fed up of being pestered by someone who wanted them so badly). I also have a wooden chest that is 17th century - I wouldn't dream of altering that....See Morebay window painting
Comments (12)Just looked at your other pic. Do you mean the ceiling over the bay window as opposed to the part under the cill? I have a bay window and the ceiling over that is the same as the main ceiling....See Morepainting tips for family room / living room feature wall
Comments (1)Hi Liz, for a relaxing, cosy feel to a room, I'd generally recommend painting the ceiling and the walls the same colour, or at least no more than 2/3 shades difference (darker on the walls and lighter on the ceiling to give the feel of additional height). Having different colours works in some spaces but can be distracting and as you already have the fireplace as the feature, I'd avoid it. You can always add a mirror or some art to the chimney breast to really enhance it. Alternatively, if you're really keen to use two colours, then you could consider painting the top half of the walls one colour and then use a darker shade on the bottom half, using the height of your fireplace as the halfway guide. Hope that helps? Jo (Room4 Interiors)...See MorePainting and light fixtures for extension and snug area
