My the doors, surrounds and skirting boards in my hallway are painted in a god awful green gloss (must mention it was the previous owner!). We are looking to return all this woodwork back to good old white gloss but would like some advice on the best way to go about it. I am scared that if we simply start painting over the green, it will either shine through and need lots of coats (one coat will be a big enough job!) or the white could eventually start to peel off and reveal the green underneath. Would you advise getting the wood stripped right back?
