This little setup has saved me a bundle. I've been able to make all my mouldings so far and with most mouldings being soo expensive this is a big win.

Evening all,
With the walls painted and the first doorway completed ( check out the photos ) it's time for the skirts and here lays my delema, in the past I have always been an advocate of not painting and advised to go with a natural finish what do you guys think. I have put up two photos, one with painted skirts and one without, what do you think?

After a week of drafting the plan for the renovations in chatgpt its all locked down. Here's an update, for those interested.
The ceiling has been sealed and double coated with Alibaster.
The walls have been pigmented sealed, skimed, primed and double coated. With the work on the wall that is coming out still to be completed eg new beam installed and lined,
I started to design the headers and frames around the doors( they need a couple of tweaks here and there still). Once the frames are completed I will be starting on the skirting and wainscoting panels. Picture 7 is the design work on the kitchen Cheers Cloady

Oh the lovely surprises wallpaper hides. I thought I'd put progress posts up just for those that are interested. The wallpaper has been stripped back and a pigmented sealer has applied, the sealer will give the plaster repairs a stable substrate to grab or work with. For those that are new to decorating or want to have a go themselves, this is where your finish lives, the preparation done now will determine a good portion of your finish. Stay tuned for the design work in the coming weeks as I'm working with chatgtp for the different styles.

After quite a few years of decorating and restoration projects for my clients, I finally found the perfect client ( me ). This 1918 built cottage is going back to its former glory,with some real cool trim work to boot. The ceilings are going to have a 58/32 spring angle cove with a colonial batten moulding, the ceiling bed will be painted as the original panels were taken down. Above all of the doors I will be making a classic craftsman header with a 125 mm flate architrave leading down to a skirt boot. All the bull s**t mdf skirts will be replace with a 225mm colonial skirt which will be stripped back to bare timber and finished with an oil and wax finish. I'm contemplating adding some colonial beaded panels to the walls but Im just not sure yet as I don't want to make it to busy. The kitchen as it stands is a piece of .... I would of liked to of added a set of French doors but the ceiling is way to low. So after a patchy week of weather here I am. Tomorrow I will be jointing the plaster board around the fire place then I'm going to ( finally ) use a technic my Bro John Cload showed me years ago with the skim coat,its called marbling which has an unreal finish to paint on. Cheers Cloady
