apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Another reason to love New York!
I can't speak highly enough about F&B paints-we've used them in every room in our house. The colors are sumptuous, the coverage is superior. My only quibble is durability--the flat, flat Estate Emulsion does not take kindly to being wiped or rubbed and I find I have to touch up from time to time. Thank goodness for F&B's fabulous tester cans.

The "Modern Emulsion," if I recall, is probably a better choice for more high traffci rooms (and is still quite flat -- it's more matte than satin). Another thumbs-up for F&B paint here. Not onyl was coverage excellent, but the fumes from the paint were virtually non-existent. I wouldn't enjoy sleeping in a bedroom freshly painted with a typical latex, but just a couple hours after a coat of F&B (non-oil), it was hardly noticeable.

I've been using Farrow & Ball paint for years, every time I repaint a room, and I also love the colors and the quality of the paint. I use Modern Emulsion (better "wipeability" as Pilgrim stated) for most rooms since it is much more durable than the Estate Emulsion. Love the low VOC's. This is fantastic news about the Soho store--I'm going to save so much on shipping costs!

I just squealed, really loud. Hurrah!!!
