Three GoodGymers headed to the Merton and Morden Guild to tackle a task that was anything but a bog-standard paint job. Making moody blue to a brilliant, fresh white.

We kicked things off with a heavy session of masking tape. Then came the real challenge: the texture. Those interestingly bumpy blue walls required some serious effort, but between some expert cutting-in and heavy-duty rollering, we made sure the blue we could reach was well and truly whitened. We will be back to work on another coat and deal with the gloss as soon as we can.
