      And the F&B paint is really thin, so the decorator needs to paint more coats to get the same depth of colour….

        Thats a quite common theme with hardware store paint here, absolute pain in the arse if you have to do it yourself and even a bigger pain if you have to pay somebody by the hour to paint it for you.

        I personally like to use paint by the company "Keim" because they do silicate paint which i prefer over acrylic paint because its more natural and the colors are way brighter and react better with light, the blue wall on my outfit pics sometimes is a Le Courbousier (very famous swiss Bauhaus architect) Color by Keim.

          I use Keim on the exterior of our house when we originally painted it…..

            Hmmm, have no experience with Little Green which seems to be not that widespread on the continent but our complete interior is painted with F&B, two coats and we are very happy with the results.

                              ahh right yes. i realised after i saw the roof. i initially thought it was the old kitchen and was trying to figure out where the windows went…

                                Does the Fridge (?) in the front get a Kitchen Front too ? If that is the Fridge isn´t that a bit small ?

                                  That is the booze fridge (because it will front onto the kitchen dining area), and yes it gets a front… Main fridge/freezer is the last tall cabinet on the left.....

                                      Les cranks up the volume…...To ensure we had no cut tiles horizontally and have the grout joints not be too wide, we added a couple of infill pieces to the cooker hood (these will get filled and painted.... 🙂 🙂 🙂
