Help Please! Painted Beams

2 years ago

Hi all, help please! We've just bought a110 year cottage that had a1.5 storey extension added. The beams in the extension are all painted pillar box red and its really over-powering. We're looking at painting the entire lot, T&G boards and beams in an off-white matt satinwood (currently gloss)
Without sanding, how do we prepare the wood for the top coats? Any similar projects / pictures? Also any ideas on lightning would be great but that might need to be another post!

Could you provide some picture of what you have so far? From what you have described I would probably go with a warm grey or light brown to match the veins in your floor. Good luck!

The color of cabinets looks yellow in picture...if it is ivory then any color you like would work...color is very personal and should relate to you and the rest of your home...try using houzz photos of kitchens to get ideas of which colors appeal to you

I would go for a stone colour so not too dissimilar to what you've got. Little Greene does a good stone colour too but will work out a bit expensive. This is Oxford stone by farrow and ball. If you were doing the windows and front door then maybe an old white with door and windows in french grey
