When preparing a house for painting it is best to remove all flaking peeling or checked paint. You want to remove the imperfect surface until you achieve a a smooth ground. This also means sanding areas where chunks have fallen, or peeled off in order to eliminate the visible transitions.

If you expose the base surface (wood or other) you should prime that area to seal the exposed surface.

Best way to refinish the paint in a house?

Stripping and painting can make a big difference in the appearance of your house. The surface preparation is the most important part of painting. Some times you will have to strip the old paint and other times a good cleaning will do the trick, while leaving the old paint or finish as a base for repainting your house.

How long do you wait to lay carpet after painting panelling?

You don't have to wait at all, but the paint should be completely dry. You don't want fibers getting stuck in the paint, particularly if it is a contrasting color. I would also be concerned about possible damage to the paint surface. The back of a new carpet is some nasty rough stuff that will strip off paint and skin faster than a grinder!

Can you paint and strip wallpaper while pregnant or will the chemicals hurt the baby?

Being a father of 5, I would not suggest ANY chemical. It can wait till Spring where the house can be well ventilated. KEVIN Stripping wallpaper can be done if you are using a steam stripper, and similarly you can use water based paints. I agree with Kevin about the chemicals though, and if using a sander to strip paint always wear the correct facemask. If you live in an old house you should check than any paintwork is lead free, and if you have leaded paint get it removed by a professional.

You are painting a wall in your kitchen babouche yellow and you are wondering what other colours to paint your kitchen?

For a monochromatic look, use a yellow of the same colour family (you will find them on the same paint strip as the Babouche) either darker or lighter as you find most pleasing. For something a little different try a pale green or blue as contrast.
