Just painted my living/dining room Coventry Gray and wondering how to accent it. Now I know: Gold! Or yellow, I guess.

The Coventry Gray reads as green-gray on the card or in some light but it's a bit blue-gray on the walls. I'm happy so far, though.

The paint, the paint, can we find out what it is? Thanks so much.

Lovely bright place. Oh, Oxford!

I'm struggling to choose paint myself right now and looking at these same Farrow&Ball colours yet I'm having trouble telling which is which in these photos.
--Is the Pavilion Gray in the Kitchen?
--And is it Pigeon in the room with the antlers (In the very first, featured photo)? If so then, wow, it sure looks blue-ish instead of its usual greenish. These colours are so changeable.

Thanks

-- And MonicaK- they are a bit pricy everywhere I believe but the colour depth and coverage is great. I adore my Elephant's Breath rooms.

wow, now I know what to do with my old Breyer horses. Looks so whimsical.

I second (third?) the suggestion of the Heathrow express. It was amazingly quick. I'd also confirm the warning that you should allow 2 hrs to get through all the tunnels and queues back at Heathrow. But even 4 hours downtown will be fun and better than sitting at the airport. See if you can stow your carry-on somewhere, too.

@phizzled They DO break it down for you , as to where your blind spots are. Right underneath your score there is a spectrum and the problem areas are highlighted.

I adore the look of my estate emulsion (Elephant Breath -- heavenly! and everyone asks what it is) but it's only been up 6 months and I"ve already marked it up quite a bit. My friend who sent me to F&B in the first place uses the Modern emulsion and it still looks very matte so I'd go with that next time I think, for most rooms anyway.

I agree with the post about convenience. Iam all for the multi-purpose guest bedroom. Ours is an office with a very comfy sofabed.

Stefanie - I, too, was wondering about the Gray paint shade. Thanks!

My husband and I just had this discussion. We have a full office set up in the guest room but I've commandeered it as I'm writing a dissertation. We ended up agreeing to a *tiny* desk in the bedroom but to NOT keep anything on it. It is just to use for talking unexpected work calls or grabbing quiet time if the other rooms are busy.
