Hello,
Are the following sentences correct?
"I'm wanting to have some peace and quiet. "
"I'm needing to paint my flat."

I'll be grateful for your opinion.
 
Please ask one question at a time.

In what situation do you want to use sentence #1 (if you had helpfully numbered them)? Who are addressing it to? Why don’t you just say ‘I want some peace and quiet’?
