Decorating after replastering

desdemona01

We've just had the hall and stairs plastered (lovely job). Now we obviously need to redecorate. The question is; if we're sanding and repainting the woodwork as well as painting the walls, what order do we do it in? Walls or woodwork first?

Walls then woodwork

You stated that the plastering has "just" been done. How long ago was this?

You need to ensure that the plaster is fully dry before starting to decorate it, something that you should allow at least 3 days for if it was just a skim job and if it was a full replastering then depending on the ambient temperature and airflow, you should wait at least a couple of weeks and maybe far longer.

Prep and undercoat al the woodwork, then do walls then finally top coat woodwork

But at the end of the day, just do it the way you feel is best for you, it's your house afterall!!
