Thought I'd give this paint a try as it is cheaper than F&B and I liked the colour. It's Laura Ashley Water-based Eggshell in Duck Egg (750ml for £13.99 from Homebase or Laura Ashley)
I have to say it's a thinner consistency and doesn't have the opacity of F&B eggshell but the results are fine. Here it is...
It did take 3 coats, rubbed down with wire wool inbetween, and a final coat of Colron Finishing Wax.
It's destined for the sewing room, so it will fit in nicely I think.
Brilliant job, I am also a fan of Sanderson fabric.
ReplyDeleteLooks great x
ReplyDeleteIs the design Little Chelsea, it looks familiar and one of my favourite designs.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a lovely job on your chair! I love that colour so much, and it's a good price. The fabric looks great with it too!
ReplyDeleteHope you get your job applications in on time, and good luck!

It is a lovely shade & your fabric choice ties in nicely with it.
ReplyDeleteLovely little chair and the fabric is one of my favorites, x
ReplyDeleteNow you've thrown a spanner into my works! I've been buying and deciding I no like and returning paint (unused, that is) for a couple of weeks. I love this colour, so now I'm very tempted.......
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration and it's nice to see how it's turned out and how it is to use. x
That's so pretty Sally, and will look lovely in your sewing room.
ReplyDeleteIts gorgeous Sally. I have used that shade of laura ashley paint and had good results with it. I have got a list of jobs to do but never seem to get round to doing them!Hope you get on better with your list.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! It will be inspirational in your sewing room!
