protecting shutters when stripping paint

We had shutters installed onto a wooden windowsill. They are currently painted with gloss and I would like to strip down and update with satinwood. Any advice for how to do this without damaging the shutter? I contacted the installer who told me I can take the shutter out but not the frames. Thank you

Comments (8)Ok firstly put led strips to the rear of each shelf then replace the tiles with plain ones perhaps the ones which appear to look like hematite, I can see you like grey so paint the chimney breast and the fire surround and also the shelves and the lower cupboards in the shade you like best(do not be afraid of being bold, it's only paint and time if you get it wrong.) then insert mirrors to the back of each shelf, you will be surprised how much bigger the room looks. Do the floor dark and the rest of the walls something pale like F&B cornforth white do the skirtings and doors white or otherwise the same as the fireplace etc. (If you go with the dark option then opt for a really pale rug) go to www.rugcouture.com and ask for samples then do windows with shutters or Romans something simple and in a pale coloured orate shelves with a mixture of books and ornaments anyway that's what I would do but whatever you choose enjoy it and have fun.

Comments (12)Hi Moggles i have a similar renovation starting and have the same thoughts re pendant lighting from steel. Are you actually allowed to have anything coming from the steel itself or won't this negate the fire proofing measures put in place ? So if you are allowed to hang directly from under the steel the next concern is the head height as looking at your photos it does look limited. I have actually bought 2 pendant fittings so i can decide when the time is right which is going to look best. One is a standard pendant with 3 lights dropping from it ... quite ordinary. The other is a long thin led bar that i thought could be hung with as much or little drop from the ceiling as required. It's quite similar to this but i think slimmer (it doesn't seem to be available now :/ ) http://www.litecraft.co.uk/quartz-rectangular-led-ceiling-pendant-chrome In fact it's really similar to the one shown by Modus above !

Comments (10)Be brave, and go dark! Often people are scared to as they think it makes a room smaller but actually it can have the opposite effect. Blurring the finishing lines of the room can give the illusion of more space, and if the space isn't particularly bright anyway, embrace it! Feature lighting - LED strips under the vanity, or wall lights - can really come into their own in moodier spaces too - don't underestimate the power of lighting :) For the backsplash, bring in a mosaic, or perhaps to continue the natural look, check out a few textured tiles like below - they have less grout to maintain but still offer a nice contrast: If you need a hand or any assistance with supply of products, advice, or design, check us out if you're local to Surrey or South West London :) - Adam...See MoreSarah R
