We are in the middle of totally renovating an old Victorian house. It is rapidly turning into the money pit so I am trying to mitigate any over spend!
The previous owners changed the widows to UPVC double glazed sash. They are actually expensive windows and I am happy to live with them for the time being as there are a number of bays etc which mean they would be expensive to fully replace.
They are cream on the outside which I can live with. However, they are also cream on the inside?! With matching cream gloss work everywhere which I hate as it looks dirty
We are having a number of them replaced as part of the building work so will at least have them white on the inside. But what about the other ones? We have had a quote for £1,500 via a contact of the decorator's to spray the remaining 12 inside white.
I am kind of wondering if we really need to do this but I can't see a way around it as cream woodwork looks awful and I can't see a way to keep the woodwork around the windows cream and the rest white without it a) looking awful and b) materially affecting what colours we can chose to paint the walls
Any advice gratefully received as we could also do without spending an extra £1.5k!
