Baskets for decorating
Hey! I've read that I could station aesthetically pleasing baskets around my house for decorating. Do you have any recommendations as to what specific types of baskets I could use? And how can I ensure they will be safe? I guess keep them away from candles and electrics?
How soon do I need to paint after applying undercoat?
Hi, we’re moving into a house that is decorated in very dark and bright colours. It’s not our cup of tea and we just want to cover the walls before moving in. We won’t have no time choose the final paint colours and decorate for good few weeks. So for now we just thought of covering walls in undercoat. How long can we leave the undercoat for after covering the the walls with it? I’ve read that primers loose their effectiveness after about 48 hours we would need to prime again just before painting. Does the same thing happen with undercoat? In which case, should we paint the walls in cheap white paint on top of the undercoat too for now? Many thanks for your guidance! P.S. the walls are in pretty good state - no marks, stains, cracks.
