Another Decorating Thread!

You’ve done a fab job, looks so much better. The carpet will finish it off nicely 👍
My hubby does it all himself too - he’s actually painting the upstairs landing right now to finish it off.
I supervise and provide drinks 😆Ours is grey and white too, as is the rest of the house.

I love what you’ve done with the grey on the stairs. My daughter would love it too. Is it ok if I send these pics to her? She has a new build that is white, white and white! She wants to bring some grey into the hallway and this is a perfect option. I did mine this year and I think I bit off more than I could chew. I was working full time and covering for my team who had been furloughed which meant working long hours and Sundays too. I only had Saturdays and evenings to do it and I’m not 100% happy with the result (the quality could be better) but I really did run out of steam! 12 doors, frames, skirting and 44 spindles. Next time, I’m getting professionals in.

Not at all happy for you to show her! I had one less door! Had 11 to do 2 and a half newel posts and I think 55-57 spindles!

Hope she gets a little inspiration 😁

It looks lovely and doing it yourself has saved tipping a decorator a couple of hundred quid👍

It looks really good now, hope you are not to tired. I know what you mean about the spindles, ours were stained dark wood colour, and we had them painted white, such a difference. I did my dd when she moved in Oct, and I will be doing my ds when allowed. I was given a tip for doing spindles, put on a rubber glove, then over it put a clean sock, then paint the spindle, haven’t tried it myself, but might do next time

It looks great Jane, well done to you both.

Brilliant job You've given me hope as my hallway and landing spans 3 floors and high ceilings and I've got it to the stage of your pictures 5,6 and 7. I was meant to have it done for Christmas-but haven't But I do need to get back on it. Being an old Victorian house, the walls are a treat to work with But this has given me a new lease of life and I'll get cracking in the morning since I took next week off

Good heavens! I thought I had a lot of spindles! It looks great though, well done. I love your colour choices.
