Driving down early January to paint the inside of our new holiday home. Is best I fetch the paint and equipment with me or is it just the same price to buy in Quesada ?
Does anybody have a rough estimate how much a decorator would charge for a two bedroom one bathroom townhouse in Dona Pepa

You can buy all you need here for less than 100€ and it will take you a week tops to do it.

Bring decent paint brushes with you, the Spanish brushes are shocking.

One week tops might be a bit ambitious I’ve told the Mrs a month so I can catch some decent weather throughout January

You can buy good quality brushes and rollers in many paint shops in Spain. They even have the Harris branded ones. Just avoid the Chinese shops where they are poor quality.

Cheers Kevin that’s sounds a similar size good to know on the amount of paint needed.
Yes I was also thinking a room per day saves moving furniture around.
Plus more relaxed way of working.

Brochacolor in Formentera is a one stop paint & supplies shop, we purchased most supplies from there when we painted our house inside & out. It’s where the local decorators go & they speak English (sometimes).
