Pics below are of the Jodhpurs sample colour on the wall. Photos were taken at night and with a flash so it might not give it the best of colour matches, and it looked better today when the daylight was on it - But I'm thinking a slightly lighter colour if you can think of one. One thought I've had is to go 3/4 strength which will lighten it up a bit.

It still doesn’t look the same colour, do you have the A4 I gave you? Have you compared the A4 with the can of paint? Mind you it could just be the lighting, but can you check against the A4 with the paint tin. Hope your keeping the little timber wall light, its so cute!

Guess you better try a half if your not happy…….

Wasn't planning keeping it I think a floor standing lamp in the corner will provide much better lighting in this area. Along with removal of those other walls lamps. re paint - 2 coats in most of those photos, except the last which is only 2 coats around and below the white light. Ran out of the sample pot I'll grab the sample card out and also try the lighter shades and see how it looks. Any other colours that anyone thinks I should try? Also what are peoples thoughts on the timber cornice? Replace it new plaster cornice, paint the timber white, or should I resand it and stain it again? Steve Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 5Jun 22, 2008 9:58 pm Yak,
I like the timber cornice. I think it adds something to the space. But I guess it depends on your renovating style. It's a 70's home?? Are you updating but keeping to that style or going for full on modern? (Sorry if you've answered this somewhere already, I'm on a bit of a brain meltdown at the moment.) Anyway I think the timber cornice gives it something a bit unique. I'm quite taken with it. So sand it and stain it. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 6Jun 22, 2008 10:03 pm Thanks Jo,
I'm not trying to modernise it per say - it's just all borning white I would like to keep the theme of the house as I think houses of a period, be it 1900 or 1970 all have their place. But I do wonder about the timber cornices that the previous owner was very sloppy at with his cutting in. Thanks for the feeback. And drink some water to help cool that brain down Steve Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 7Jun 22, 2008 10:10 pm Well Steve I guess with the current brown craze you don't have to modernise to be modern.
I agree with you though, I like houses to represent something. Everyone worries about things dating like it's a bad thing, but for something to represent a time and a style in a pleasing way can be really charming. Jo Don't need the water. Getting caffeine fix as I type. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Your right there - DU want 10 litres of mission brown free of charge - I'll send it to Melbs tomorrow One colour I hate is mission brown.

As with all era's some things were good and some - well - we just don't need. Like a late 1880's cottages is really cute, but not many of us would still use a wood stove as their only method of cooking and heater heating. Enjoy the coffee. Steve Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 9Jun 22, 2008 10:26 pm There's a joke about mission brown, missionary position somewhere, I just can't find it. I must be in meltdown.
Seriously though. I think the beams restained would add real character. Keep em, just make them prettier. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 10Jun 22, 2008 11:11 pm Steve
I'd paint the cornice white, the same as the ceiling. It would make the room look lighter. If you are looking at light brown tones you could try: 1/2 strength French Pebble Raw Cotton Sago Spanish white To be honest I don't mind Jodhpurs myself (second pic looks the best IMO). Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 11Jun 23, 2008 12:59 pm How much timber have you left in the house Steve?
All the skirts and Arcks??? Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 12Jun 23, 2008 11:58 pm Thanks for the input DeeElle.
Now that I've got a reasonable amount of the Jodhpurs up - I'm thinking more of a yellow tinge is required. I'm not a real browns person. Mich- how much timber LOTS - 11 x exposed beams that are 5 meters long and 280mm deep - - plus 3 x 100mm x 100mm posts, plus the timber and MDF stairs, plus timber floorboards plus the skirting - which I'm thinking of replacing with a higher style skirt to help lift the walls up at the floors zone, Thinking the 170 or 190 splayed skirting in this pdf. Middle of page. http://www.bonetimber.com.au/viewpdf.asp?PDF=pdf/Timber_Architraves_Skirtings.pdf and then there is the cornices joint trim. Which I think really dates the place. Dee - so the trick is - once I paint the trim - where does one stop where it meets the cover strip around the beams? OK so it is possible to plaster and gap/fill the bit so the beams just slip into the wall - but my experience is this join is always prone to flex and move over time so it will alwasy be a point of superficial cracks. hence hey they used cover strips. Michelle - whats your thoughts on a lighter colour more on the butter yellow shades - something like solvers weavers cotton? I looked at the dulux cream you mentioned but it wasa bit green for my eyes. Steve Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 13Jun 24, 2008 12:59 pm Yak_Chat Thanks for the input DeeElle.

I'll check this out tonight Steve. My computer at work doesn't have access to the pics. However, we filled the gap where the trim meets the cover strip in our old house and painted it white. I'd paint all the beams white myself . We picked a great solver soft burnished yellow for our old room. I'll ask DH if he can recall the name ... I think it was called Burnous <not the right spelling>??? Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 14Jun 24, 2008 7:00 pm [quote="Yak_Chat]

Tyr Dulux “Studio Cream” is brighter than Jodhpurs.

Unless you are painting one colour throughout, walls and ceiling, cutting in is going to be painful! Cutting in looks painful anyway! Ever thought about putting plaster cornice up? Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 16Jun 25, 2008 11:29 pm Michelle, it seems my sample pot is a bit darker than the swatch sample -
But I'm still not that keen on the brown colours. I've tried a 3/4 jodhpurs and that's getting a it beige for my liking. I'll get the undercoating / sealing done and ceilings finished then I'll revist the colour thing. I think the hardest bit is yes I am colour blind. As for cutting in - I don't find it a problem - Dee I hear what your saying re the timber strips etc, but there is lots of other jobs to do yet - so replacing them and filling etc might become a next round job. As for paintig the beams Such lovery timber beams - lots of character and empathy there - so they are staying as it. Timber cornice replacment - the jury is still out on that a one. See above Michelle - Studio cream is a bit weak for my liking. Steve Re: Jodhpurs Paint Colour and Timber Beams 17Jun 25, 2008 11:51 pm Paint the beams!
