On this day. 2023. A place in my heart.

When it comes to woodwork, these roller sleeves are superb. Great value as wash out and last well. I even use this for when I’m applying emulsion with a mini roller - ideal for window reveals etc.

A front door I redecorated earlier this year. Finished in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue. Love this shade. 🎨

Tesa make a tape specifically for curved contours. This unique tape is superb. The creped backing flexes & will give a defined curved paint edge.

I remember when you did this at the end of May this year.

Worthy of Full Disclosure.

I’ve heard Sam’s is alright too. 😉

Very thought-provoking. The boy will be thinking about his present, the parent will be thinking about his future.

Great to hear it, thank you.

Rolling walls and ceilings? This is the ideal combination. Even weight distribution as the frame supports the roller both ends, compared to a traditional roller frame.

New roller sleeve? Wrap tape around it first and remove immediately. This simple method removes any loose lint - therefore sticks to the tape instead of the wall. I’ve made the mistake of not doing this and it comes off as you roll the wall/ceiling. Once done you shouldn’t need to do it again.

Here is a tip. When picking a secondary shade to go with your main colour, for example a feature wall, or woodwork. You are best looking above, below, left or right directly of the colour you’ve picked. They are almost certainly going go to go together perfectly.

It all comes back to ‘know your place’ - that I’m sure of.

I’ll add one more to that list, attending the theatre.

To quote a book to make this point, it’s like discovering a secret garden.

Reading and healthy eating.

Gary Burton @theofficialgrb.bsky.social · 6d

Fair to say I fit into this category.

Really enjoying my current project. This staircase has taken a lot of time to prepare for the actual painting. This shade is called ‘Juniper Ash’ by Little Greene. A gorgeous blue; warm & intimate, without being overwhelming. What do you guys think?
