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.
