We worked alongside our friends from Made by Jason on the fit-out of the Myla and Davis salon in East Dulwich in 2013.
During a recent return visit my eye was drawn once more to this wonderful bit of detailing: oak drawer fronts and their surrounds formed from the same piece of timber, resulting in the continuation of the grain from one section to the other.
Like most experienced painters and decorators accustomed to the often unstable walls and ceilings of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian London, we are used to repairing areas blown plaster.
With the repair shown below, bonding, or undercoat, plaster with PVA was used initially, followed by a surface coat — redecoration had things looking sharp once more.
This all copper light fitting, which we installed last month, will work brilliantly with a filament lamp…
Our eye was drawn just before Christmas to this Belsize Park project, which is the work of Cave Interiors.
One particularly beautiful and deft touch is the matching grain on the sawn kitchen drawer fronts.
The presence of a handsome woodburning stove is well noted, too. We’ll be writing a post soon about some of our favourites…
Great work from David here on a worktop restoration project in south London.
The Mirka Deros dust-free sander is the friend of every painter and decorator who owns one — especially on a job like this one.
In its absence, this work would have been hopelessly dusty.
With the sanding completed, the surface was protected with Osmo’s Polyx-Oil Rapid — a superb product, perfectly suited to the task.
