Green things

A bold approach to colour: the client wanted to highlight a much loved
photo hanging above an open fireplace. This zesty green “Sapling” by
Albany paints worked well to accentuate the picture and create a feature wall. The remaining walls and ceiling were painted in Dulux Gooseberry Fool no6 – a softer complimentary green.

Words from the client….

“Andrea is intelligent and diligent. She approaches her work as if it
were her own house.
Great results and a pleasure to have her around.”
Deb: Kingston

A little warmth in Kingston

After beautiful new wooden floors were laid it was time for a room colour change. The Fired Earth shade Madder Red contrasts the white beautifully and harmonises well with the warmth of both the wood furniture and floors. I really enjoyed this project as the client was willing to try a very bold colour and different approach. Even with an imagined idea on how it would look the end result proved so unexpectedly satisfying!

The key to a good finish is the preparation beforehand. It is encouraging as to what can be accomplished with quality fillers, a good opacity emulsion and an eggshell finish as shown below.

A happy client and kind words….

‘Having never used a decorator before it was a giant step to hand over our keys while we were away. We also, very tentatively, entrusted Andrea with the colour selection she suggested would work. We came back to a new home and the colours worked perfectly! Andrea’s level of professionalism, punctuality and willingness to work the extra hour to get the job done on schedule impressed us both. We would definitely recommend her! Mr & Mrs Annand – Morden’

Thanks!
