From where do you buy your paint?
Comments (54)Mylands. You always regret your economies. I've repainted this kitchen 4X over the years, and last time was in Dulux which wore so poorly. Just custom mixed a new vibrant duck egg to paint my kitchen in marble matt walls, eggshell woodwork, and floor paint. Mylands matched impeccably. It was a dream of coverage, and looks spectacular. The quality of the pigment shows, looks the money, nothing like synthetic mediocre pigments in cheaper paint. It's a big improvement....See MoreOur kitchen makeover
Comments (73)I must say this is a job well done! It's shocking what a good combination of colours, contrast and small decor changes can do. Good call on changing the see through glass to frosted one in cabinets, not to mention that the bright cabinets with dark worktops and appliances really works in your kitchen....See MoreHelp me find a Farrow Ball or even Little Green similar colour please
Comments (10)Thank you everyone so far. I decided to call the hotel again as so many suggestions by you all i git lost again, and they were more helpful this time and managed to get me ‘some’ extra info that it is a blended real white that has a teeny tiny real grey (whatever that means) with teeny tiny red (in the rooms with a red curtain) but a tinier green tint (in the rooms with a dark grey curtain) but no blue at all in the tint in any of the rooms. Wow, that seems like a bit of a crazy blend and I didnt realise its 2 differnt blends depending on which curtains they use, but it does point to what some of you suggested :) seems i like the one with the red curtain better :)...See MoreIs Farrow & Ball paint worth the money?
Comments (10)After recently splashing out on F&B when B&Q had 3 for 2 on paint and I thought it would be rude to not pass up a chance like that, I have mixed feelings. I've used whatever was on offer before but after painting the rooms I've done my thoughts are: estate emulsion is nice and it definately has better colour tones than the cheap brands but definately don't use it where there is any chance of moisture (tried it in the bathroom and it runs). Don't use it where it will get scuffed e.g. on the stairs where you'll lean against it but in rooms like living rooms & dining rooms it looks great. Where F&B really come into their own (in my humble opinion) is their eggshell for woodwork, furniture etc. It's tough has a lovely finish and the colours are deep and look expensive. We painted a couple of bathroom cabinets and a bath panel in Moles Breath (gotta love the names) and they look great. So kitchen units for example if you want something a bit different I'd I'd definately use but as for everything else, I'm inclined to agree with the majority on here and go for Johnstone's colour matching service, there's generally at least one Johnstones Tradecservice near every major town....See More
