We have recently bought a house after renting next door for 5 years, and we are using the opportunity to do it up before we move in. Whilst very exciting, we have a lot to do (decide) in just two months (new kitchen, en suite, cloakroom, knocking down a wall, blocking up a doorway, building a room in garage, painting and new flooring throughout). We have barely done any home renovation or decorating before so I am learning a lot fast, but not fast enough. Anyway, the painter/decorator is ready to start and I have to choose paints quickly. All I know is that I want it to be fairly neutral but not boring magnolia (but may resort to magnolia!). Ceilings will be white (unless good reason for not white?) and I think next easiest decision will be woodwork. I didn't know satinwood/eggshell was the new gloss, but do now... any reason why I should choose one over the other? Also, which colour - will choose white or cream but can anyone recommend a safe bet?! I know this sounds ridiculous and I wish I could spend longer choosing but I can't so any help really appreciated. Thank you!
