Baker and Lake Decorating

I’ve just received a lovely review of my personal decorating workshop

“I really enjoyed my decorating workshop with Janet. Her attention to detail and generosity with sharing her knowledge and skills was invaluable and I felt inspired and empowered by the end of the day. Thank you Janet – it’s so great that you offer this experience!

Rather a treat to make the smallest room rather fancy! Some of the most fun projects have been getting a loo to look magnificent!

Behind all the wallpaper that I’ve ever hung I’ve written something on the wall first.
Clients never know and I usually forget.

But it’s still going to be there… under the paper, on the wall.
The graffiti you’ll never find.

Spent the last couple of days in the loo!
So nice to be papering again.

Paper is Macchine Volanti Wallpaper by Cole & Son

I like tiling.
My hands aren’t so keen!

Hello B&L supporters.
I hope you are all well.

Thought I’d give you all a little update on what I’ve been up to since the start of lockdown. There’s not been a paintbrush in sight!
I’ve been spending my days in the basement of Brixton Rec managing the Emergency Food Distribution Service for Lambeth Council. I’m working for a social enterprise called Healthy Living Platform and, with a small bit fabulous team and many many great volunteers, we’ve been getting hundreds of boxes of good healthy food out to the residents of Lambeth. We’ve helped thousands of people struggling in the current climate and have many more to support.

So, the decorating life is definitely not mine at the moment, but I’m keeping busy, working hard and enjoying myself too!

Take care all.

Hello all you Baker and Lake followers.
Hope you are all well and coping with these current issues.
Happy to give any tips you may need as, now you are at home all the time and haven’t got me to help you, you may probably be attempting some DIY.
Just send a message and I’ll try and guide you as best I can.

Janet
Stay well. Paint carefully. Have a damp cloth to hand.

I do love a bit of drama in a decorating job. This one has been quite the transformation.
From white wood-chip to a picture rail with Farrow & Ball Green Smoke.

And I didn’t even break a nail!!

A few bits of this and it ends up as that.
Love a feature wall. Especially when my lovely client goes with my suggestions! 😁
