  • Here's a before shot - do some people have no self respect? - and the current state four days after starting 'cleaning'.

    The paint was lifting in places on the surfaces adjacent to the windows so I'm taking that off before repainting.

    For some reason I've only recently realised how blandly my flat is decorated, which I'm considering doing something about. Nothing too outlandish, I wondered about a warm mid-grey but am open to suggestions. Might do a photoshop but will wait until I can take a daylight photo.

    There's a rather handy Dulux app that'll do this for you.

  • Will take a look, thanks. Consider myself rather handy with photoshop tho'.

    This is supposed to be something like F&B Charleston Grey, but it's hard to match considering the photos and swatches on their website are inconsistent. Slightly concerned it may come out darker, so would fork out the fiver for a sample before committing.

    How's it look?

    I've just about done stripping the insides of the frames where the old paint had lifted in places. Was hoping to not do the rest cos it's such a pain in the tits and that's in decent nick anyway. Figured a light sanding, cleaning and then a coat or two of suitable primer. That make sense?
