Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Wow, that's quite a price. Listed building? I think i'd have bought one tin then got it colour matched in something a lot cheaper, like Johnstones.

Not listed, no.

Thought about colour matching but it turns out they don't really match, just get the nearest possible match from the existing swatch.

Also I cbf.

Also I have to be able to tell the village folk it's Farrow & Ball when they come round for dinner parties.

Coverage of this paint was excellent by the way and it really is wipeable yet pretty matt.

This gets used on most if not all of our builds. The painting contractor loves the stuff.

Here it is on the walls. Must have spent around £2.5k on this whole jobs once curtains, carpets (not yet done), extra tools, new lights etc. are factored in. Ho hum!

Currently £20 a tin at Homebase . Probably only that store in Cambridge though and might not have the colour you used.

They don't normally do modern emulsion in stores, which with kids was essential for us.

Good deal that though.

On the bright side I have one unopened tin to return!

Is this one of those tricks of the mind ?

It looks white in parts and green in others

Sorry but I think the mods need to change your username with immediate effect.

6 5L tins of this. A snip at £480.

Bet they're made up with you. Seen this sell for £25-£30 a tin. You've been rightly rummaged. Here's hoping that you used some half decent brushes.

Agreed, the ceiling in particular looks white! I'd heard that F&B can look very different in different lighting conditions.

Christ do they give you a massage and happy ending for that price?

Yes it was great. Has your mum worked for F&B for long?

Also picked up an SDS plus drill today.

It looks like somebody did a photoshop gradient circle fill, like the stair rails are white and a huge circle of wall is white but then it looks like different shades of lime green on the rest of the walls and ceiling, just looks really strange so I wonder if it's like that blue/gold dress and those grey/green shoes mind ***** ?

@Participant what colour is it supposed to be ?

Really? In my experience you can’t buy decent White gloss for that price let alone premium paint like F&B.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I had no idea there are such a thing as premium paint.

It's a light grey blue green in most lights. The bit on the wall that looks white is directly opposite a window.

Well yes the ceiling is white.
