We have finally put the paint brushes down on the two downstairs reception rooms. We can’t figure out what to call the rooms, so let’s go with front living room (which has a window) and back living room (which doesn’t) – imaginative, right? This post is full of photos showing the before and after colours that we’ve painted – not quite the finished rooms, but shows how much difference a lick of paint makes!
What colours did we use?
- Colourtrend Shark Fin #0574 – doors, skirting boards, architraves & window sills
- Colourtrend Resting Place #0462 – front living room walls
- Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue – back living room walls
- Rustins Wood Dye light oak – floorboard wood stain (read also: How to sand wooden floorboards and How to stain and varnish wooden floorboards)
Here’s a post about how we picked our colours
