Butting up

Today my plan was to paint the little cupboard in the corner of the library. We’d decided to have it the same colour as the walls, it will help make the room seem larger, and certainly help reflect the light that pours through the doors from the walled garden. The colour is Joa white by Farrow and Ball. I find F&B paints have great coverage, and can change colour with different reflected light, which helps change the mood of the room.

Brian was working on getting the planks prepared to be fixed back up on the wall. He wanted to try and butt them up together as best he could, without any gaps.

He achieved this by planing off small slices from the edges of the planks. He has a good eye to see what needs doing. They are very often just really subtle changes.
