What has been your biggest renovation challenge?

“Finding paints and coatings that would cover all the surfaces I needed them to. I had to keep costs to a minimum and not spend loads of money buying a specific radiator paint, another for the floor and another for the bath tiles. I took my time looking up recommendations and reading reviews before I made any purchases and calculated the surface areas I planned to cover to avoid buying greater quantities than I needed.

“For the floor and bath tiles, laminate bath panel and radiator, I used V33 Renovation Floor and Stair Paint, then I went for Zinsser Bullseye 123 as a primer for tiles and laminate; Lick Pink 03 for the ceiling, tile shapes and panelling; Ronseal Exterior Crystal Clear as varnish for the pink tile shapes, worktop and panelling; and Hypnotize wallpaper by Lust Home.”
