Farrow and Ball School House White
We love Farrow and Ball paints. Although it is quite expensive compared to other brands, we use it as it is hard wearing with good strong pigments meaning that it covers well. It also goes a long way so fewer coats are needed to get good coverage and a good finish. School House White is a pale cream that goes well in our kitchen.

Dead Good
I absolutely love the dead flat finish. With an old and old walls, dead flat is the perfect finish. School House white is a new favourite colour too. It’s the right kind of old white to compliment my farmhouse colour palette

Old paint?
Unfortunately, the sample pot I received was old. The paint was very thick paint and had a rust spot inside the tin. Very disappointing. Perhaps that’s the reason why they’re offering a promotion buy 2 & get one free to get rid of old stock.

Fantastic finish and hardwearing eggshell
I have used this paint on ceramic tiles in our utility room. And it locks brilliant and has worked a treat, much better than a paint that was meant to be exclusively used on ceramics but failed completely. Well done Farrow & Ball, top quality as usual

Dead flat
Really is dead flat. Perfectly Matt finish with no sheen is just the look we wanted for our radiator. Needed a primer first and two coats but happy with the end result.
