Hi, can anyone help. I have used walnuts before to remove scratches from wooden furniture and it's worked well but just used one on my coffee table and it's left a smudge behind which I expect is the oil. Anyone advise how I can remove this without harming the table? thanks

HI, we have just had one fitted and its ready to paint the recess it sits in, the guy that fitted it said normal emulsion was ok but our decorator is not sure as it could get hot. I am not an expert but we have replastered and there is some kind of metal sheet render (is that correct term?)...

Hi all, we have had a new staircase built, the actual main stair case is MDF and the spindles & hand rail are pine or redwood. I wanted to stain the hand rail and the part of the step you stand on, with the rest in white thought it would be a nice contrast but am worried that the two woods...

Hi all, we have just had a fuel burner fitted and our room is painted cream. The guy that fitted it says it looks really nice if you paint a darker colour behind it for example shade of mushroom or similar which makes it really pop out. I cannot find any photo's online like this, they seem all...

Hi all, currently renovating our home and I really like the cottage style oak doors, as an example click below. Now it's not a big house therefore the 2 bedrooms & bathroom all near each other. I kind of feel this type of door is not particularly suitable for a bathroom but will it stand out...

Hi all, so we have had planning permission with discharging conditions on our windows, we are in a conservation area. Although I told our builder I wanted white he has agreed with planning on cream and I was wondering if we went ahead and painted white is it likely to cause a whole load of...

Bit of a random question. Just bought a place in a conservation area and they advised they would prefer the wood painted in cream, I was going to paint them white. I am not totally against it but I am worried that cream will not keep its colour and will just look dirty further down the line...
