My dog chewed my skirting boards — this is exactly how I fixed them for £5 in under 30 minutes, and you'd never know

I'll be honest, in the grand scheme of things in my house, my skirting boards don't get much of my attention. However, the same cannot be said for my dog, Blossom, when she was going through her teething phase.

While much of my furniture escaped unscathed from her toothy interest, that was not the case for the skirting boards in my kitchen, and for months, my eyes have zeroed in on those chewed and scratched corners whenever I step into the room. Now she's out of the shark phase, I can finally get my skirting boards looking as good as new again.
