Themed Wall Colors

A lot of planning has to be done for deciding the colors of wall paints in the living rooms and kitchen. The furniture and the mats used in the rooms should be compatible with the wall painting.  

The house owner who has painting as his hobby can paint the walls of his rooms. He can browse the internet to get good information for building and testing color combinations. Some sites give ideas to develop harmony in color combinations. Though choice of color schemes is dependent on him, certain optical illusions can be displayed by using variety of colors. A small room painted in white gives an enlarged look. The white wall reflects sunlight on to the different colored walls. Even the dark corners are brightened by the presence of white walls. 

He can paint the walls of his kitchen in bright orange, red or light green. Paints with pastel shades create moods of relaxation and are suitable for bedrooms and toilets. Painting the ceilings with light colors give a heightened look for the ceilings while dark shades lower their heights.

Light intensity plays a major role in the looks of the room. As the light intensity increases, the bright wall colors look even brighter whereas wallpapers with dark designs create an atmosphere of enclosure and depression.

The house owner should match the color and design of the furniture to the paint on the walls. He can purchase matching Axminster carpets to floor the rooms. The interior decoration demonstrates the theme of the house owner.

Usage Of Appropriate Tools In Glass Fixing

When strong winds blow, the window shutters escape from the latches and swing violently resulting in breaking of the glass panes. These glass pieces have to be removed using gloves, without cutting the fingers.

The old putty holding the glass pieces to the window shutter is removed softly using hacking knife or chisel and mallet. The nails which hold the glass to the rebate are pulled out using the pliers.

The old putty sticking the glass to the wooden frame is slowly chipped off with a chisel and the glass pieces are removed applying leverage. The woodwork is protected from damage during these operations.

After removing all the broken glass pieces sticking to the frame, the rebate is thoroughly cleaned and a coat of wood primer is applied. New glass which is cut to dimensions slightly lesser than the rebate is made ready for replacement. Linseed oil putty is thoroughly kneaded with fingers until the paste is consistent and pliable.

The putty is applied and skimmed on to the rebate to form a thick layer for one side of the new glass pane to stick.

The new glass pane is fixed to the window shutter by pressing it on the putty. The headless nails are tapped with gaps of around 5″ on the rebate to hold the glass pane firmly to the shutter. The surplus putty popping out of the rebate is trimmed off with putty knife.

The gap between the edge of the glass and the frame is filled with additional putty and the blade is moved downwards in an angle with the glass. The protruded putty is scraped out using knife at the corners. The horizontal edge of the putty has to be trimmed to make it act as a watershed.

After the putty has dried, a coating of wood primer is given to the window frame and followed by the paint. Good quality latches are fixed to the window frame to prevent breaking of the glass due to the winds.
