Kitchen decorating

[Talland 2016]

Well I decided that as I’d had a new boiler fitted in March it was about time that I redecorated the kitchen as wallpaper had to be removed around the new boiler. I bought the paint and a small tub of polyfiller and started stripping the wallpaper.
Unfortunately lumps of plaster came off with wallpaper & there were patches of anaglypta type paper covered with eggshell paint & varnish

So I managed to get a much paper off as I could and booked a plasterer

Plasterer and son arrived today. They had said they would be there before 8 & arrived at 07.45
Worked really hard today and will be back tomorrow

Looking good!

I'm expecting to have to replaster a lot of the house we are moving to as looks like the walls have been lined and then painted but now the paper is bubbling up. Doesn't appear to be damp just age I guess so don't think polyfilla will cut it if it takes chunks out

What colour are you going for? Btw have you got 2 serving hatches?

OP. Coming along well. Plastering looks good, always nice to see a good 'spread' at work.

In photo No 4 is that a small serving hatch? Sorry but these things intrigue me!

You could put a nice moulding on top of the tiles where they meet the new plaster.

Hi Tom
In photo 4 it is a blocked up window which was in the walk in pantry. It was blocked up in 1989 when we extended the kitchen ( built on half a house)
I usually have a shelf there with Disney storage jars in it.

Just one hatch and a blocked up window
Planning on a caramel and sky blue mix will be keeping the original red kitchen units and tiling.
Something like this ( although this is in a bedroom)

More areas plastered today

Well all had dried out so today was the day to apply the watered down paint
I’m sure I’ve ended

Started with some room prep
