Decorating which order?

b0ne5ish · 24 Mar 2007

Hi,

I am refurbishing my entire house. Not sure what order to do the final things. This is what is left to do:

- Fit carpets in some rooms
- Fit solid oak floor in some rooms
- Fit architrave and skirting
- Watered down coat of white paint on fresh plaster
- Gloss work on skirting and architrave and doorframes
- Emulsion on walls
- Emulsion on ceilings

Would anyone be able to offer advice on what order things should be done.

Also there is a fair amount of boxing in mdf, I would like to use the same colour on the mdf boxing as the emulsion on the walls. Is this possible?

Many Thanks,
Stevo

Do all the dirty / dusty jobs first.
