So now for some horrendous before piccies........
This is the "lovely" polystyrene tiled ceiling!!
Yay - all gone!!
Peach tiles, orange stuck on floor tiles and lots of pipework on show!
A shelf, although useful, made out of a bit of worktop - bet your envious!
Going, going, gone!!
So first the plasterer came in to make the ceiling nice and smooth and then the bathroom fitter. He put in a nice new toilet and basin and then fitted tongue and groove to cover the ugly pipework and a timber floor too.
So now I need to get on with the decorating!! I am going to paint the top a light grey and all the wood in white. First I need to cover all those knots in the wood to stop them going yellow in time. Anyone know of anything I can paint on the whole board as the knotting stuff I have will take forever to dab on each knot!!

looks much nicer already! x
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be great...looking forward to the Ta-dah moment!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful jubilee weekend! :0)
Can't wait to see it all finished, your plans sound lovely!!

You can get white shellac knotting. But if you are not to worried use a good quality undercoat and you may need to do two coats before your final chosen colour (white in your case).
ReplyDeleteI would still go down the Shellac route but use a small gloss roller and that will speed up the process.
Great makeover! I'm lazy and never bother with all that knot gubbins. :-) I don't really paint things white that often though.
ReplyDeleteI have the same "beautiful" polystyrene ceiling in my bedroom! Good luck with the decorating part... It's the best!
