It took around 4 hours for each coat to dry but ideally should be left 24 hours between coats (check on back of tin).Artemis Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538191427602247808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-33903242656787716722014-08-15T00:33:34.511-07:002014-08-15T00:33:34.511-07:00A lot of people have asked me how to paint a floor...A lot of people have asked me how to paint a floor...<br />As I am not a decorating expert I would recommend buying a floor paint (we used Ronseal but there may be better ones on the market?) and following the directions on the tin for best results. Further info can be obtained by the staff in say, B&Q or Homebase, who are more knowledgeable than me, about types of floor and preparation, durability etc...<br />Good luck!Artemis Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538191427602247808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-8630021826648658972014-08-14T11:35:39.771-07:002014-08-14T11:35:39.771-07:00I am envious of your immaculate white floors!!!

We currently have dirty slightly chipped white floors in our living room and the thought that we might have to strip them all to re-paint makes me feel queasy! Also what paint did you use?

Its little things like that that really make a room interesting. I love the rustic additions, the little green table/desk is gorgeous and really adds charm and warmth, as does the sign and vintage toys. The thing that really completes the room is the beautiful fireplace - very envious.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02254215977316838364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-50425159376239120792014-08-12T22:52:59.338-07:002014-08-12T22:52:59.338-07:00Love, Loooooove, Luuuuuuurve it!

(ahem... blushes) ... suffice it to say this post has me itching now! <br />Tips? Pointers? May I ask what paint you used and if it was a nightmare or surprisingly easy... actually if it was hard then just lie...

Such a lovely focal point for the room. And I must re-iterate that your little one is the luckiest child in the world - how enchanting to have one's own clockwork menagerie :) Really like the little shelf above the door, and what a beautiful dahlia.

We are off house sitting (next door) for 5 weeks now and I'm planning to use that time to give our house the spring clean of its life! And then in summer we have a tin of painting to do, plus a garage to turn into an office. Thank for the inspiration :).
