We also think it a good idea to replace the door knob and letterbox on all nine flat’s front doors (although Flats 1 and 7 are done) with same brass fitments (so all doors look the same) as the existing, very old, unattractive items are not worth keeping). We will need your permission to do this and obviously will advise the type and quality of the fitments in due course and a convenient time to gain access to make the change (30 mins ap- prox).
We also need urgently some general feedback on your preferred colour schemes for the interior. If you let me know your preferences (as an example: (Apple) White and (Pale) Cream - or (Pale) Gray and (Powder) Blue - or (Baby) Pink and (Mint) Green - etc etc) - in reality, it’s a choice of traditional conservatism or more artistic, remembering that the block was built c1917 and does have some very attractive art deco/art nouveau features including, once properly cleaned, some beautiful brassware throughout (door handles, kickplates) and the stair handrail which we are stripping back to its original brass. Even the Double Door Window Dividers on each floor have magnificent copper/bronze frames under 95 years of dirt...!
Email me your colour preferences and I’ll mock-up a colour photo to let you see it in situ - we can then view everybody’s ideas and come to a consensus choice. I’m for avante-garde/artistic as we are in Chelsea! So what’s your choice? (Folder_00 Item_67)
(b) In an email from “PBC” to all lessees dated 21 March 2012 he advised:
OK - everybody should now have received the 4th Draft Internals Proposals - if not, it's attached.
That's the easy bit - now the politicking, choices, preferences, dislikes, opinions etc can commence as everyone is now connected via their emails - and the best of British luck! Paul

Dear Susanna [Flat 9] Dear All,
Sorry for a delayed reply to your extended note.
I met up with Paul last week to go over the work which we are planning to embark on. As no work has been done for many years we have a lot to catch up with and it will have to be done at different stages for practical reasons.
The potential boxing of the meters, The cleaning of the stone work, The painting,
The wood work,
The lighting
Windows to be free of painting
Brass work
Front door (to be back to its original natural colour )
In my opinion the lift cage from bottom to top should be properly painted or I should say sprayed rather than being just clean as this is an important feature of the common part and should not be ignored.
Paul has already made tremendous progress, we have several quotes and therefore we are in a position to make several decisions. I am sure that most of you think about colours but in my opinion this is the last thing on the list. (Folder_00 Item_69)
