Instructions
- Handy hints: To help paint dry open the windows and make sure the air circulates. On a cold or damp day consider using a fan heater or dehumidifier while painting. Using a brush to paint a tongue and groove ceiling will help get the paint into the joins between the wood.
- Top tip: Always choose the right roller sleeve for the right surface and paint – if in doubt, check with your local Resene ColorShop staff.
- To get the look: Mark previously varnished the floor with Resene Polythane clear polyurethane.
- Other ideas: For a different effect on a feature wall, choose patterned wallpaper or Resene Enamacryl Metallic paint.
Step one
Wash and rinse all surfaces and allow to dry.
Step two
Lightly sand all woodwork to ‘key’ the surfaces and then wipe clean with a cloth.
Step three
Using the craft knife and ruler, carefully cut thin strips of the wallpaper where the paper may be lifting at a join.
Step four
Peel away these strips of paper.
Step six
Carefully fill the thin gaps between the wallpaper using plasterboard filler. Allow filler to dry.
Step seven
Carefully sand the filled areas, as shown.
Step ten
Apply two coats of
Resene Egg Sour to the ceiling, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
Step twelve
Apply two coats of
Resene Chardonnay to the walls and woodwork (except for the feature wall), allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
Step fourteen
Apply two coats of
Resene Shiraz to the feature wall, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
Step sixteen
Apply two coats of
Resene Shiraz to the fireplace on the feature wall, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
