It does have a decent party trick, but is it really 2.5k of party trick?

Well, it kills 2 birds with 1 stone. I get my dining table and my pool table. If I cant have both, like that one, then I wont have a dining table! Pool table the whole way. And will have to go buy some trays to eat dinner off!

Furniture arrived today, assembled a small bit to see how it looks, but I can't find my camera, so I can't take a pic

Also went and got the floor and underlay.

So now, I've just got to re-paper the one wall, and finish painting, then sort the floor and its all done

it was trade stuff, and I was only using it as undercoat. problem was, it was a bit wet, didnt seem to go on very thick at all.

did 2 coats of that, and 2 coats of Crown Classic Cream, and it covered.

would have been a coat less if the freebie magnolia wasnt as runny though.

yeah, but it was free

also, Dulux didnt do the colours i was looking for, so it had to be Crown really.

It'll be fine anyway, it'll cover ok, the other colours are darker

Thats what they say but its not true. All they do it match it to the closest colour of thier swatches and then make up the paint to that colour.
