I am lacking inspiration, desperately need to paint our dining room as it has peeling off lining paper from the previous owners (we bought it 10 months ago but its had new kitchen and windows etc which took priority).
It is South Facing but it’s a thatched cottage so needs to be kept fairly light. It's a room that is hard to heat and feels cold/damp at times (not actually damp) so I want it to feel warm/cosy. The current white is too harsh - I think it is Slaked Lime. It leads on (no door) to our kitchen which is sage green and North facing. The kitchen doesn’t have much wall to paint but the bit that isn’t tiled is Dulux Timeless as that’s not part of the original house.
It needs to be a proper clay paint in dining room as walls are lime plaster and the room doubles up as a playroom so it has 3.5 year old DD to contend with. I know that we can’t use scrubbable paint but needs to be something we can wipe and touch up.
Our dining table, chairs and sideboard is painted white wood. We don’t have the money to change the horrid fireplace yet but will paint the surround as it’s orange pine. At a future date we will do more changes but for now we can only afford paint jobs as the kitchen, windows and garden office cost us £40k and we are out of money.
