After much deliberation we've finally decided upon our colour-Cornforth White! The name is a little misleading, as it doesn't look white at all, instead it's a sort of very flat, light grey. It's quite a drab Georgian kind of colour and it goes well with the worktop and all the nickel cup handles.
We've got a big 2.5 litre tin of it in eggshell, and that should be plenty for all the woodwork in the room. I love the finish of eggshell paint rather than gloss, as it looks flatter and matter, doesn't it?
I always think that the tester pots of Farrow & Ball paint look so sweet-like miniature versions of the real thing. Even though I hate the colour brown, it somehow looks very classic and classy on their paint tins doesn't it? I couldn't imagine the tins in any other design, and I suspect that their design is a big part of their appeal-well it is for me anyhow! Now we've just got to get the room finished....
