Wallpaper border tips
I've bought a few rolls of border wallpaper to try instead of a dado rail. How do you make sure you stick it on straight? Is there a knack?
Repainting skirting, doors and bannisters
I have just moved into a new flat and need to redecorate as it has not been well looked after. The skirting boards, architraves and bannisters have all got a thick, creamy coloured gloss finish which I can only assume is layers of oil based paint. I am thinking that I need to sand them all down to take some of the paint off, prime with a wood primer undercoat and then paint white? I don't want the high gloss look so would Satinwood be a good option? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I know it would be easier to get a decorator but unfortunately money won't allow it so I need to do this myself.
Affordable emulsion paint with good coverage
Can you recommend affordable interior paint brands that give a decent amount of coverage for the tin volume? I've bought cheap paint before and ended up needing extra tins. What's good for a quick, budget makeover?
