| Little Green tester pots - my new favourite brand |
The next job in the house is tackling the hallway; It's not a big hall but it covers a large space and the shades and colour tones need to be just right. The colours chosen will start as you walk in the front door, take you up the stairs and cover the entire landing upstairs too...
At the start we thought 'white washing' would do the job but as months have passed, we've decided that we need to warm up this idea.
A warm cream and beige was the initial thought. I'd quite like to see a darker skirting board in the hall so we have a contrast to the bright white painted skirtings elsewhere in the house. To avoid buying another 28 tester paint pots, I thought I'd seek advice from somewhere that really knows their stuff. B+Q may be convenient with late opening hours but I didn't learn a thing about interiors on my search for the 'right' grey.
Inside Job is the interiors shop that seems to have everything from paints, to wallpapers, to fabrics, to light fittings to furniture and most importantly the proprietor, Jenny, has the patience!!
Set on finding a darker shade to go with Farrow and Ball's Pointing I was elated when I was introduced to a beyond gorgeous brand that does exactly what I am after. Little Green offers a Colour Scales chart which shows all the neutral shades each in 4 tones - Pale, Mid, Deep and Dark.

I've been testing Clay, Rolling Fog and Slaked Lime and a decision is yet to be made but here are the tests so far...
