Repaint Glosswork

The glosswork of your home will likely consist of your doors, skirting boards, and perhaps even your banisters and stairs.

To refresh your home in a couple of days, get yourself some bright white gloss paint and start to repaint the gloss work around your home.

You will need to first sand away any old gloss paint that was on your surfaces – and once you have sanded this down you can start to clean and wipe the surface to ensure it is smooth for your new paint. Gloss paint can take anything from 6-12 hours to dry so when you decide to do this make sure you are prepared for the wait.

Add Some New Art
