Been there! Initial paint colour was wrong, but did three coats anyway! ended up with mix of Farrow and Ball with hint of Little green by the 7th coat and in between picked wrong finish of paint for ceiling that had a sheen! And ached terribly……
This one made me laugh, Lindsay! We've all been there! I still haven't admitted my ill choices to my husband...but then again, will I ever when it comes to decorating? My naivety showed when I wanted a new kitchen lino! I wanted it 'fresh' and 'bright' and never thought about the daily tasks of cooking, walking the dog and running back in with the shoes you were meant to take off but you forgot something in a rush so you ran back in quickly! Anyway, I decided to go for a white, wooden floor effect lino and felt extremely smug when the kitchen transformed to feel bigger and much brighter! Little did I know it would become my biggest regret in choices for the house and that I would slowly have to learn to live with forever noticing everything on the floor and our dogs constant mucky paw prints on show in the winter! Maybe it's time to admit defeat and find another one! 🤔
White wood effect sounds lovely doesn’t it! I’m thinking Scandi vibes! But yes, not the most practical by the sounds of it either - oops!! Live and learn, that’s what I’m saying...

Seven coats?! Oh my gosh!! 🤣 oh yes the aching! I didn’t even mention that! That made me laugh!
