Hello Everyone
Is Farrow & Ball really the best?
I've heard that it's good for covering imperfections, which is my main concern.
Some plastering is probably needed, but it's not going to happen for various reasons.
Any recommendations please? It's for a bathroom and a bedroom.
Thank you as ever smile

Oops! My spelling seems to have gone to pot! ?

It’s Wilko’s not Wilco’s! I could blame predictive text but it’s more likely to be the glass of wine which is my reward for spending yet another afternoon up a ladder with paintbrush in hand..?

I guess if you like wallpaper, but want paint, then you could go sparkly on one feature wall in the bedroom. I have sparkly paint on a chimney breast, it is very subtle and only really shines when lit up.
All depends what mood you want to create!!

Ha ha Elianne but I can't have it as way out of my budget!
(Maybe should have suggested it to Carrie Symonds) grin

I'm probably the only one who quite likes her taste NotSpaghetti!
Well her taste in décor, not necessarily in men!

It’s not about her taste Elianne - just that her budget is much larger than mine!
I haven’t seen any images of what they have done with the flat.
I do like the images of Lulu Lytle‘s own home though - and her choice of colour and mix of old and new.

I will only use Little Greene Paint Co.
It’s so pigmented, a little goes a long way and it doesn’t smell.
My decorator scoffed when I demanded that he didn’t use trade paint, he was amazed at the coverage and ate his words.
The colour range is beautiful.

F&B for us too, wouldn’t use any other brand, love cornforth white which is a beautiful silver grey, and strong white, will be using other colours from their range as we continue decorating!
