I'm not entirely sure how this happened, but today I found myself re-painting our dining room yet again. We've only lived in this house for six-and-a-half years and this is already the third occasion I've attempted the feat.
And this time things are a little different.
The walls were the colour of red wine when we moved in. I quite liked them. So clearly they had to change.
"We" (Vanessa) went for a what I would describe as a mint ice cream/snot hue. It didn't work.
The next choice was a darker shade of green, akin to Godzilla's bum. That was my idea. So it was never going to last long.
This time we're going for James White.
Let's zoom in to confirm it.
According to manufacturers Farrow & Ball, this is their "signature chalky matt finish for interior walls and ceilings."
Drying time?
Get this: "Dry in two hours and can be re-coated in four hours. Then step back and admire." (They clearly don't know that it's me at the end of the roller).
Disappointingly, they make no mention of why the colour was christened James White. But our James White is very pleased with himself.
Ceiling coated twice today in boring Brilliant White, I'll try to make the boy proud when I crack open his namesake in the morning and start to splatter the walls. But I'll probably make a balls of it.
