200519 // Yesterday I discovered that negotiating the ‘clearance’ area of the paint section in B&Q is a task worthy of the Krypton Factor or Crystal Maze – you need good eyesight, upper body strength and above all, great patience 🤨 A few years ago it was sufficient to just quickly cast your eyes over the lids, which were adorned with a crude paint splodge to indicate the colour that was contained within, but for some reason that simple method has been deemed antiquated, and a prime candidate for an unnecessary technological update... 🙄 The homogenous white sticker that is put on the tin after the mixing process is now the ONLY identifier at your disposal, so you must laboriously lift and turn every tin in your attempt to locate the paint name – bonus points if you don’t knock any tins on the floor as the shelves will almost certainly have been over-stacked. Then, if you don’t know Valspar’s 2000 colours and their corresponding names off-by-heart (because you have a life) you will have to lug each tin to the busy paint-mixing till where the assistant will begrudgingly scan the sticker’s barcode and show you the colour on their computer screen. Oh, and God help you if the sticker you’ve found says ‘customer colour match’ as that’s basically lucky dip as nobody can tell you what the hell is in there 🤪 FFS. Why can’t they just paint the bloody lids?! . . . . . #sophiecsophiedo #bedroomdecor #bedroominspo #rattanfurniture #homeaccessories #interieuraddict #bohodecor #uohome #interieurstyling #girlsroom #decoracaointeriores #peepmypad #showmeyourstyled #londonhome #brightboldhome #thedelightofdecor #makehomeyours #prettylittleinteriors #lovewhereyoudwell #houseenvy #homesohard #oliverbonas #decorcrushing #housegoals #interiorswithpersonality #cornerofmyhome #housegoals #popsugarhome #spotlightonmyhome
