Where to start . . . ?
Time to rip up some 30+ year old carpet from the front guest room,
Remove some very retro curtains,
Paint some very depressing ugly bricks,
And get rid of a very noisy, smelly and unwanted house-guest!
- BEFORE
- DURING
- Removing the 30+ year old carpet from the front guest room!
- Beginning the long and tiring job of painting the brick walls! These walls have recessed grout . . . Which is not fun to paint! It takes FOREVER!
- AFTER
- Not quite finished yet, but the dreaded red bricks are gone! Now to replace the power points, repaint the ceiling, install new lighting, lay new carpet, hang the new blinds . . . Pheeeeeew! Still a long way to go and this is only room No.1!
If you want to try something like this yourself, we could not have done it without the following things!
A good ladder, preferably with a platform, such as this 5 Step Ladder with platform.
A selection of paintbrushes, like Pro-Grade Wall/Trim brushes.
Painters tape such as ScotchBlue.
A paint roller tray kit.
Face Mask to protect yourself from dust and fumes.
Safety goggles!
