Just finished this fantastic transformation of a master bedroom. In a couple of days, this room went from the light and airy "before" to the striking, modern “after” you see here.

Here is a breakdown of the quality products and methods used to get this finish:

Preparation: Walls and wood all sanded using the trusty dustless sanding system to keep mess to a minimum and give perfect, flat surfaces to work on.

Ceiling: Refreshed with Johnstones Ultraflat Matt for a flawless finish

Walls: Painted in a striking, client-supplied Valspar shade called Starry Night.

Woodwork: Finished with Johnstones Aqua Undercoat and Aqua Guard Durable Gloss for a brilliant, long-lasting shine.

The contrast between the deep navy walls and the crisp white woodwork looks incredible. It just goes to show how much of an impact the right colour choice can make.

Standard white ceilings definitely have their place, but I love it when a client wants to try something completely different now and again. It takes a bit of nerve to look at a ceiling and say "make it pink," but stepping outside the comfort zone can give you great results.

Stick around to see how this turns out.

New Project: Nursery Transformation

There is nothing quite like preparing a home for a new arrival. I recently had the pleasure of transforming this nursery, turning it into a bright, fresh, and welcoming space.

To get that perfect, flawless finish that will look great under any lighting, I used a premium lineup of trade materials:

Ceiling: Finished in a pristine, flawless White Ultraflat Matt to eliminate any glare.

Walls: Brought to life with Covaplus in 'Buttercup Grotto', a beautiful, warm tone that completely opens up the room.

Woodwork: Protected and polished with Aqua Guard Satin for a durable, scuff-resistant finish that's ready for family life.

Looking to book a transformation of your own? Things have got incredibly busy lately, and I am now fully booked until October. If you have a project in mind for late autumn or winter and aren't in an immediate rush, now is the perfect time to get on the schedule. Get in touch today to discuss your ideas and secure your slot.

I’ve recently upgraded to a dustless sanding system for all prep work before decorating.

Preparation is where the quality of a job is really decided, and this setup lets me do it properly without filling your home with dust.

In the video below you’ll see the sander connected directly to my dust extractor. When I switch it on and press the sander to the wall, it actually holds itself there. That’s the level of suction pulling the dust straight through as I work.

What this means for you:

• Far less airborne dust in your home
• Cleaner rooms and less disruption
• Better surface preparation before painting
• A smoother, more professional finish

Good prep isn’t just about sanding, It’s about controlling the mess that usually comes with it. This system helps me deliver a higher standard of work while keeping your home cleaner throughout the job.

If you’ve got a room that needs freshening up, feel free to get in touch.

Somehow I’ve ended up with a bit of space just before Christmas. If you want a room sorted before the relatives arrive and judge your walls, now’s your chance.

And if December’s too tight, I’ve also got some space between jobs in January. Perfect for those “new year, new walls” resolutions you’ll abandon by February.

Drop a message if you want in before the slots disappear.

Kicking off the last big exterior of the year. Forecast says “mostly dry,” which we all know translates in this country to “bring a jacket and a sense of humour.”

Hoping to get this one finished before the next monsoon rolls in. 🤞🏻

Today I find myself clinging to the side of the house like a sunburnt Spider-Man with a paint brush.

The paint’s drying mid-air, I’m slathered in factor-dufflecoat and I’m questioning every life choice that led to this moment, including the bright idea to “make the most of the weather.”

I’d love a Calippo and a paddling pool right now.

Managed to get this finished in time before the visitors arrived. Nothing like a family visit to finally light a fire under your paintbrush.

Since then it’s been a whirlwind of playing tour guide around Stirling and Edinburgh and a visit down to Dumfries House…then rounding it all off with a classic Scottish camping trip at Culzean Castle, complete with sideways rain. Obviously.

Now that I’m back to work, I thought I’d share the before and after of my own hallway. From filler spots and scuffed walls to clean lines, fresh colour, and a gallery wall that’s (mostly) straight. Proof that even a decorator’s home gets the full treatment eventually.

If your own place is still stuck in the “before” stage, I’m now taking bookings for probably October I’d guess once I get done with the quotes I’m currently working through. Drop me a message!

Well, would you look at that…the sun’s shown up after yesterday’s attempt to wash us all away.

I’ve got a fence that’s been waiting patiently (and a bit soggily) for a couple of coats of paint, so let’s hope this sunshine behaves itself and sticks around till tomorrow.

If anyone sees storm clouds approaching, kindly have a word with them. I’m on a deadline here.
