Remove paint splatters from newly varnished floorboards?

So my decorator didn't cover the floor properly when he painted, and how there are tiny flecks of white paint all over the place.

Will he be able to remove it all somehow without damaging the pine floorboards?

Or is he going to have to remove the varnish/paint and re-varnish it all?

I've had a shot myself out of interest and I did remove a few wee spots with my fingernails, but it would take weeks to do it all like that!

PS. Yes I am mad at h » READ MORE

Contemporary (and not too expensive) UK furniture websites?

I'm hunting some new furniture for my flat here in sunny Scotland.

To those of you in the UK, can you recommend any good websites for buying nice modern, minimal furniture?

Specifically I'm looking for...

1. A round dining table, about 90-100cm diameter, in white or some kind of simple colour...

EDIT: Just found the Magis Easy Table... I like it! But I would prefer something round like this KissiKissi table if it came in a bigger size.

What first - strip the floorboards or paint the walls?

My hallway and living room both need to have the floors stripped back, but also their bumpy wallpaper removed from the walls, and artex from the ceiling as well for that matter.

I'm wondering - have the walls/ceilings done first? And then do the floors....

Or, get the floors done first? And then the skirting boards... and then the walls/ceiling sorted.

Maybe the order doesn't make any differenc?

Bendy shelving with cable management?

I'm looking for some kind of shelving system to go on my hallway wall, beside the main door, that will liven up the space a bit. Eventually I'm hoping to strip the carpet back to the floorboards but not just yet...

The shelving should go from about shoulder height down to the ground I think... and the depth of it must be kept to a minimum as the hallway is not that wide.

It also needs some kind of cable management because I want my cordless phone » READ MORE
