I love high skirting boards and especially those that have beautiful mouldings but was also conscious that the house was designed in the Arts & Crafts style so needed to stay true to the bones of the property. Once we’d selected the doors we turned our attentions to skirting and architrave. Door furniture is important to me so I took a long time sourcing the perfect polished chrome handles from Handles For Homes I love the circular detailing around the handles and they feel weighty in your hands. We finally landed on this raised moulding design from Travis Perkins which we intended to paint but decided actually was nice enough left untouched to show off its oak grain. We took a long time choosing the doors for the house so many of the original doors had been replaced before we purchased the house so it made sense to start again and buy from scratch so that all the doors were the same again.
Only time will tell whether this is a risky decision as it’s a dark colour but I have a vision and I need to go with it otherwise I’ll always be left wondering…All the woodwork has been painted in All White. In case you’re interested, we opted for Purbeck Stone from Farrow & Ball in our bedroom, Malm from Fired Earth in Hector’s room and the landing will be daubed in Farrow & Ball’s Worsted. By the end of the month I hope to have all of upstairs painted, cleared and ready for carpeting. Both Hector’s room and our bedroom have been painted in their final colours and the landing and spare room have been white washed ready to receive their chosen hue. We’re so nearly there upstairs…desite the mess in the pictures! With the exception of the linen cupboard everything has been at the very least plastered, whitewashed and the majority of second fix applied. So what have we been up to? All is revealed below… Upstairs I’m hoping that this will be the last of the ‘in progress’ posts and that further updates from here will feature completed rooms shot by the rather more masterful Adam rather than my dodgy photography which I can only apologise profusely for. The last post on the topic was about a month ago and focused on the bathrooms which I revealed here if you happened to miss it first time round. It’s been a little while since I shared a house update. I’m sincerely hoping that it will continue in the week ahead of us…partly because we’ve just had our kitchen plastered and I need it to start drying out so that it can be painted before our kitchen is fitted this month. Morning! It’s Monday again but what a gorgeous weekend of sunshine we’ve had.
