Hi,
I'm decorating my dining room which has coving, picture rails and skirting boards. I'm planning on putting lining paper on the walls to smooth out imperfections and then emulsioning the walls. All the coving and woodwork I'll be doing in silk.
As some of the skirting has been refitted and the picture rails are new I was planning on using caulk to blend them into the walls. Question I have is what sequence do i do it all in?
I was thinking apply caulk, primer the woodwork, apply the silk (2 coats I assume), put the lining paper up then emulsion. I'm assuming that I'd be somewhat liberal with the silk and have to cut in the emulsion to keep a nice neat line, if I cut the lining paper carefully it would create a nice neat line against the silk.
But I wasn't sure whether it'd be better to put the lining paper on first, then any caulk will blend the lining paper in if I'd not cut it perfectly? But would the silk show through the emulsion if I'd overpainted.
Any assistance much appreciated,
Ian
