We are having tiled floor as part of an extensive renovation so which way would you do it (all after ceiling and walls being plastered):

a) tile floor > fit architrave/ skirting > paint all

b) paint ceiling and walls > tile floor > fit architrave/ skirting (so they sit on top of the tiles) > paint architrave/ skirting

c) other?
 
Or don’t paint the architrave and skirting. Use natural wood

Painted wood is frequently a travesty

-

While there is nothing else in the place (not even doors) run round with a paint sprayer. Insanely quick when you don’t have to mess about masking off things like skirting and covering floors

Mask the windows tho
