✨ Kitchen / Family Room Transformation Completed This Week ✨

A stunning freshen-up on this open-plan kitchen/family room now finished ✔️

This one had newly-plastered areas on the vaulted ceiling, so we started with a full AF1 mist coat to seal and prepare the surface properly.

From there, everything was taken to a premium finish using paints:
🎨 Matt finish on ceilings (shingle) and walls (shell)
🎨 Eggshell on all woodwork for a durable, smooth, washable finish (shell)

The space is now brighter, cleaner and perfectly tied together – exactly how a family hub should feel.

Custom-Built Bookcase – Hand Painted to Perfection 🎨📚

Another beautiful bespoke bookcase completed this week, finished to a premium standard and painted entirely by hand for that smooth, flawless finish.

For this project I used top-quality products throughout:
• Helmi Primer for a strong, durable base
• Helmi 30 Top Coat for a smooth mid-sheen finish
Both mixed into the stunning Dulux Heritage “Boathouse Blue” – a rich, timeless colour that really elevates the joinery.

Every surface was fully prepped, sanded using dustless sanding, primed twice, and finished with two top coats for maximum durability and a showroom-quality finish.
