Help! Need to choose farrow and ball paint today
Comments (11)Morning, From what you have said, I would go for James White which has green undertones rather than yellow understones like the White Tie. James White is fine for Exterior Masonary and you will see that option when you purchase. I would then pair that with the French Grey for the front door/woodwork. This is a classic colourway of theres specifically made for outside woodwork. It's the one you see on small pretty cottages. The colours works well with the James White and sits beautifully outside. Any colours with greener undertones will work better outside as they will harmonise better with the other colours from nature and not look so out of place when aging or getting slightly dirty with time. I hope this helps a little and if you need any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.. and of course.. keep us posted!

Comments (14)Ive just put ammonite on the exterior walls (another £5 tester pot!) and its more of a true grey than the bone white from fired earth (which has blue undertones). The shaded white looks beige next to it and so shaded white is out. Ammonite is in the lead. I'm hoping its not so pale that it looks dirty white and is grey enough that the old upvc windows still stand out next to it....See MoreFarrow and Ball Estate Eggshell paint..is that the best for painting a
Comments (11)Hi Louise, My experience as is that Farrow and Ball eggshell is hard to work with and difficult to get a great finish - difficult to lose the brush marks. Little Greene oil eggshell is fantastic, levels really well and dries quickly with decent coverage. They also do a really nice Grey colour card too. If you are set on Farrow and Ball colours then Johnstones do an exact match as they use the same mixing machine so the colours are spot on... much better quality paint and cheaper too. The traditional oil eggshell is great and the aqua system is lovely to work with if you want the convenience of a quicker drying time. Dulux can only match to the nearest colour that they do, so don't bother even trying to match F&B... I'm not a pro by any means, but have lots of experience... a professional painter will be able to work wonders with anything though I suspect! Good luck!...See MorePaint recommendations for built in wardrobe? Farrow and Ball?
Comments (9)Hey Jen, I'm still paralysed by indecision on the blinds/curtain front! Making do with the white roller blinds for now - but as the rest of the room comes together they look more and more shabby :(. Managed to choose a rug and some prints for above the bed frame so I'm making progress at least. Will post an update when the wardrobes are finished. If you're anywhere near London I'll let you know the company I'm using if they prove to be good. I think price-wise its reasonable for the slightly complicated design (having to work around an awkward narrow chimney). I've heard mixed things about the F&B paints - most of the negatives from decorators I've read has been about the wall paints rather than the eggshell designed for woodwork. It's too expensive for me to indulge most of the time but on a comparatively small area like this I think its probably worth splashing out. I've heard good things about Little Greene too and there's a shop pretty close to the F&B one on Marylebone High St so will look at both....See MoreSonia
