Shandon Par Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 3 hours ago, invergowrie arab said: I'm needing a complete overhaul of the decor. Flooring, doors, frames and skirting as well painting and papering. Would one of the bigger decorating companies do the whole lot or do I need to employ separate joiners, Flooring contractors and decorators? Any recommendations in the Tay Cities Region? You might want to try MyBuilder. You can post the job as a whole or in its various parts and tradesfolk with the time/inclination and, if you’re lucky, expertise, will get in touch to discuss the job. It’s a bit out of my turf to drag along folk I know but there may be a Dundee equivalent of me who could help oversee the lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Just about to sell this wee place. Special discount for P&B members. New blinds and kitchen worktop and a chair from B&Q but everything else just paint/salvage. Edited March 23, 2022 by Shandon Par 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Sent Mrs Par out to the supermarket last night to get me a 4 pack of Red Bull and 20 espresso capsules and then redecorated the hall upon her return. Churlish green wall, paper, railings on the radiator cover, salt on wall and ceiling and de nimes on the doors. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was to do one room in that sort of colour scheme to see if Mrs liked it and if so to do the rest later in summer. 4 rooms later… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the black lines paint or tape?

An under the radar way of having black and white decor! https://www.fashionwallpaper.co.uk/harlequin-sumi-wallpaper-112600.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=product&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI79-WgLS59wIVV-DtCh3FowH_EAQYASABEgJF1_D_BwE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
