necrosis 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2009 today: collected cans of paint delivered to my place. Jason's contact. But turns out to be the same place I was thinking of going to. Ha. Holland Drive. Bought Dulux cos the online software seems to have closer representation to real life than Nippon's software. French Vanilla for most of the house. (Sounds yummy) Dessert Wind and Seaweed for MBR (sounds less yummy) Spicy Salsa for dining. (YUMS!) Sungod for study...(!! ) And Lily White for all ceilings. Cross fingers that everything will go smoothly this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
