Yes, you need to get out more
No, it's a untreatable condition for some of us

what colour goes with F&B Skimming Stone?
Comments (20)Skimming Stone looks stunning with blues, including navy, and also pink/red colours. If you think of it as a berry tone, it looks great with everything else in that range: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries and green leaves. Also, I can vouch that it goes well with Strong White. I have Strong White in my hallway, and Skimming Stone in my living room. I agree that Elephants Breath is ver ‘lilac’, but it works when contrasted with Strong White and All White....See MoreF&B Breakfast Room Green in a breakfast room. Too much?
Comments (35)Firstly, Happy New Year fellow Houzzers! Hope 2019 is happy, healthy and generally good for everyone. Want to again pass my thanks to you all for all the responses, advice and inspiration. Without you I don't think we would have got to where we have with the room. As you may have guessed, I am updating the thread because we have finished it (mostly!). The jury is still out on painting the dresser as I don't want 'matchy-matchy' so I am going to live with it for a while as it is. We absolutely love the room and it is beautiful in the morning light. The wallpaper is the Sanderson Chiswick Grove Sage, the paneling and skirting is in F&B Breakfast Room Green eggshell, the ceiling in a pure trade white with the doors and cupboard in F&B James White eggshell. All the woodwork too 4 coats to cover the sanded orange varnish. :( The curtains are the old Ikea things we had up so I need to decide on what to replace them with (they got paint on them so need to go). My lovely sister gave me a really nice brass chandelier so the old light will go too. Also thinking about a jute/sisal rug for under the table, anything patterned would be too much I think. At some point I will replace the black Ikea lamps too. But at the moment they are doing a job. I don't want the lighting to be too old fashioned as the room would go a bit chintzy I think. Hence the lamps on the sideboard looking a bit more modern. Here are some pics if you are interested. :) Cheers all. :)...See MoreDIY-Kitchens Bespoke (F&B Railings)
Comments (17)I used Little and Greene's Flat Oil Eggshell and the Two fussy blokes rollers. I did a TON of research and it was very straight forward because all of the hard work was already done in the priming. I am not sure if DIY would let you purchase the units primed, might be worth asking. They offered it to us as an option to make it right. We had paid for the kitchen before their paint line failed and they didn't informed us. By the time we came to choose our delivery date they realised that they cannot fulfil the order. So they offered us a discount and a ready to paint primed kitchen. I took my time and was impressed on the finish I achieved, my neighbour a professional painter decorator was on stand by in case I messed it up, he was impressed with the results too. It definitely gave me the confidence to do it again, BUT saying all of that the factory spray finish is amazing so I would choose that if I had the option. I have no doubt in my mind that you will love the quality and the colour match, most people I stalk on Insta are well pleased but I understand of course that this is just hear say and the importance of seeing a sample....See MoreF&B Mizzle versus Dulux Tranquil Dawn
Comments (14)I have Mizzle on our hall, stairs and landing, Cromarty in my office and Tranquil Dawn in my lounge. For the F&B Mizzle and Cromarty I purchased a lookalike from Johnstones. Much cheaper and I like Johnstone’s paint. Colour was the same. When I had a Dulux Tranquil Dawn tester I took it to Johnstones and the colour was nothing like when I tried it on the walls, so I stayed with the Dulux brand. Cromarty is the lightest out of them all. A pale green with what I’d class as the merest undertone of a silver glint in it. Mizzle looks different in different situations. In our hall it can look as though it has a definite blue tint, while up the stairs and on the landing it’s a green. Our hall is bright hence the blue coming out. Still nice though. Dulux Tranquil Dawn is their 2020 colour. It’s in my lounge and is a greeny grey. A very modern clean colour. I think all the colours will look different depending on the light. All nice colours....See More
