Need help with deciding to go coastal paneling (white T&G panels)
Comments (43)Hi Tina, thanks for posting, it is all looking great. Shame about the panelling, but sometimes these things happen for a reason. It is great the armoire matches the doors so well when they are all on one wall, but I don't think you need to have the bed and side tables matching, especially when they are on another wall. My issue with painting furniture, while I love it, is the maintenance. It does chip over time and becomes one more thing to paint. I don't know what the timber is in your furniture but another possible option, especially to give you the coastal vibe is to lime it. To do this successfully, you will need to sand all the existing stain off it and go back to the raw timber. The darker the original timber, the less limed look you will get so bear that in mind too. I did an old bunk bed up that had seen better days, for my grands bedroom. It was a dark red wood, but with 4 coats of stain I got the look I was after which was that driftwood/coastal look. The whole thing looks totally new again. Sorry I can't post a photo as this function no longer works for me. Have a look at the Feast Watson range of liming stains, they have some gorgeous soft colours as well, but they let the timber show through rather than having the solid painted look. It is a very easy product to use, it dries quickly - I did the 4 coats over 2 days effortlessly. The hard work is in the sanding....See MoreNeed help deciding on type of paint or stain for treated pine fence.
Comments (19)Thanks for this suggestion. I've just had a look at a photo of a fence painted in this product and it looks great. ... It's been almost three years since we posted our original question on this site and we still haven't painted the fence! Some parts of the fence have turned grey, as they are exposed to more sun, but overall I do think a dark charcoal finish would be more attractive. :)...See MoreTwo-pac colour advice for kitchen cabinets-desperate!
Comments (15)Lovely, would you be happy with something a darker shade of grey or a more lighter neutral. Im only thinking as time goes by it is easy to change your wall colour than your cabinetry and colour can be added to your kitchen in many ways that are simple change. Have you thought yet about your splashback. I made my decisions on my kitchen by first thinking what I don't want. For example I am not a fan of polished surfaces so then I went abou looking for matt ones. Sometimes I think with the endless choice it's best to start at the other end....See MoreNeed help deciding on a rug
