Hi All, I'm in the middle of re-decorating my dining room (as per other threads!). I would like to remove a fitted cupboard between the chimney breast and an internal wall (brick built). One problem I have is that the skirting board and picture rail would need to be extended round the alcove that would be left. The skirting board is not square and has a shape cut into it at the top, though I'm not sure how it was done as none of my router blades will cut the shape. Would I be able to buy skirting with and have the shape matched? What sort of place would do this (homebase / wicks / B&Q etc or somewhere more specialist). I have a similar situation with the picture rail - I don't know much about putcure rails so am not sure if they come in standard shapes, but if not I'll need another very small section making to the same shape.
My last quandry is that I'll need to sand down the floorboards and varnish to match the rest of the room. Does anyone have advice on how to match varnish colours? I also have a small hole that I need to fill with woodfiller and match the colour in a prominent place on the floor (stiletto heel disaster!). Any tips on achieving a good match here?
As always, advice much appreciated.
Matthew
