💙 Transformation Complete at Charlie’s Bar, North Shields 💙

Here’s a look at my latest completed project — the full exterior redecoration of Charlie’s Bar in North Shields! 🍻

This one has been an absolute pleasure to work on — and I have to say, it’s been lovely chatting with so many friendly faces walking by while I’ve been at it. The people of North Shields really are champion!

The exterior has been completely brought to life with:
💙 Ultramarine Blue by Farrow & Ball — used across all masonry and the main structure for that deep, eye-catching finish.
🔵 Drawing Room Blue — giving the window frames a rich, stylish contrast.
🖤 Black — for the signage and base masonry that runs along the ground level, grounding the whole look beautifully.

The result? A bold, timeless finish that fits perfectly with the character of North Shields — smart, classic, and full of life.

If you’re thinking of freshening up your property exterior — whether it’s a home, shop, or commercial building — now’s the perfect time to get booked in before winter really sets in.

✨ Before & After — Hazelrigg Living Room Redesign ✨

Here’s a look at my latest transformation in Hazelrigg, and what a satisfying one it’s been!

Every surface was prepped using my Mirka sander and Festool dust extractor setup — the dream team for achieving that flawless finish.

The ceiling was kept clean and classic in white matt, while the walls, cupboard doors, and radiator cover were all finished in ‘Knotted Twine’ by Dulux — a beautifully warm neutral that ties everything together.

The woodwork was completed in a water-based satinwood, keeping things bright, low-odour, and eco-friendly (and yes — it stays white!).

To complete the look, a Laura Hamilton feature wallpaper from I Love Wallpaper was applied to the chimney breast, adding just the right amount of pattern and personality.

It’s amazing what a little prep, patience, and polish can do — and this one proves that subtle colours and thoughtful textures can completely reinvent a space.

What do you think of this transformation? Would you go for a statement wallpaper like this one? 👇

🎉 One Year On — Low Fell Living Room Transformation! 🎉

It’s hard to believe it’s been a whole year since I worked on this stunning living room transformation in Low Fell — and I still absolutely love how it turned out!

What started as a simple redecoration turned into a full-on personality shift for the space. Out went the safe neutrals, and in came bold dark greens, stylish dark furniture, and a real sense of character. The result? A warm, moody atmosphere with a touch of gothic charm — perfect for cosy evenings in.

The rich wall colour is ‘Brewer’ by Coat Paints, expertly mixed in Johnstone’s Trade Paints, and it really brought the whole room to life.

It’s projects like this that remind me why I love what I do — helping clients be brave with colour and create something that truly reflects their personality.

What do you think — would you go bold like this in your home, or do you prefer keeping things light and bright? Let me know in the comments 👇

🎨 New Project — Hazelrig, Northumberland 🎨

Happy Monday everyone! I’ve just started a brand-new living room redecoration in Hazelrigg, working for a client who also happens to be a joiner — in his own home this time!

I’ve been busy today prepping all the surfaces using my Mirka sander and Festool dust extractor setup (keeping everything clean and tidy, as always). The plan for this project is:

✨ Ceiling: finished in white matt for that crisp, bright look.
🎨 Walls: finished in Knotted Twine by Dulux — a lovely warm, modern neutral that’ll really lift the space.
🪵 Woodwork: skirting boards, door frame, architrave, and windowsill all finished in water-based satinwood — it’s quick-drying, low odour, and stays white far longer than traditional oil-based paints.
📚 Built-in cupboard & radiator cover: also getting the Knotted Twine treatment to tie the whole room together beautifully.
🖼️ And to finish it all off — a feature wallpapered chimney breast for that perfect focal point.

It’s shaping up to be a stunning space already. I’d love to know what you think —

📦 When your trusty Festool takes a knock…
After years of loyal service, the lid on my Festool’s finally given up 😅
Anyone know where I can get a replacement part? — help a tradesman out!

Can’t fault the quality (this thing’s survived more jobs than I can count), but even the best gear takes a beating on site 👷‍♂️💪

Drop me a link if you know where to order spares — or tag someone who might!

Work at Charlie’s Bar in North Shields is coming along champion! 🍻

We’ve been giving the place a proper freshen-up with a new colour scheme — Ultramarine Blue and Drawing Room Blue, both classic Farrow & Ball shades, mixed in trade paints for that perfect finish. The transformation is really starting to take shape now, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it once it’s all complete.

I’ve got to say, the people of North Shields have been absolutely brilliant while I’ve been working here — plenty of friendly chats, loads of encouragement, and even a few folk nipping off to sort us out with a cuppa. It’s class to feel that kind of community spirit on a job.

Big thanks to everyone who’s stopped for a bit craic — and if you’re passing by Charlie’s, keep an eye out for the new look coming together!

😂 How do I get all the good jobs?

Some people think there’s a secret formula… and in a way, they’re right. It’s called large-scale government corruption.

All you need is one compromising photo of a local MP and the world of lucrative contracts opens right up.

…Of course, I’m only joking! (Hopefully 😅)

The real answer?
👉 Over 400 positive reviews

🚐 New Van Day! 🚐

Big day today, I’ve just picked up my new vam, and I’m absolutely over the moon with it! 🙌

This isn’t just a van, it’s another step forward for Interiors by John Anthony. It means more space for the likes of sheet materials, more organisation, and more freedom to take on all the projects that keep me doing what I love.

It’s taken a lot of graft to get here — and I’m so grateful for every client, recommendation, and bit of support that’s helped me build this business up over the years.

Here’s to plenty more miles, more makeovers, and more transformations along the way.
