Today, I wanna talk about my little adventure with Wick and Greene. You know, I’ve been meaning to spruce up the living room for ages. The walls were looking a bit sad, and I figured a fresh coat of paint would do the trick. So, I started looking into different paint brands, and that’s when I stumbled upon Little Greene. They’re supposed to be this awesome, eco-friendly company from the UK, with a whole bunch of vibrant colors.
First off, finding where to buy this stuff was a bit of a journey. It’s not like your usual paint that you can just grab from any old store. After a bit of digging, I found out that they have these independent retailers that stock their products. That’s a good start. I started to think maybe I can get it in Mitre 10. I went to the store and ask the staff, the answer I got is “We can colour match in store.” Oh, that’s cool, I think.
Then, I started to do some research about the greens they have. Honestly, the choices were overwhelming! They’ve got everything from tropical limes to earthy olives. I was particularly drawn to these soft greens they had. They looked so calming and easy on the eyes. I even thought to myself, “These would look brilliant with dark grey furniture!” So, I jotted down a few names that caught my eye. Also, I found that British Paints got a colour named “Brunswick Green” and they said it can defend against the changing and seasonal demands of harsh climate. That sounds good to me, I like the sound of that.
Next, I went to my local Bunnings, hoping to see some samples in person. I was on the hunt for this specific shade, “White Knight 310g Brunswick Green Gloss”. When I got there, I was like a kid in a candy store. Rows and rows of paint cans! And there it was. I found what I need, but they don’t have tester pots!
After that, I decided to check out British Paint’s own website. I figured it couldn’t hurt to see their green colour chart. They had a pretty decent selection, and I even ordered a few colour swatches online for free. Can’t complain about free stuff, right? I also looked into Dulux’s Green Colour Swatches, just to cover all my bases.
Finally, I made my decision. And, Little Greene is a bit pricier than other brands, I learned that it’s because they use high-quality ingredients. I mean, that makes sense, right? You get what you pay for. I ended up going for a lovely soft green from Little Greene. I also bought the “White Knight 310g Brunswick Green Gloss” in Bunnings for my grey furniture.
- Little Greene is a great option if you’re looking for eco-friendly paint with unique colors.
- Finding a retailer might take a bit of effort, but it’s worth it.
- British Paint is also a good choice, especially the “4 Seasons” series.
- Don’t be afraid to explore different brands and compare swatches.
- And lastly, painting can be a fun little project!
Here’s what I learned from this whole experience:
So yeah, that’s my Wick and Greene story. I know it is a bit all over the place. It’s not just about the paint, but the whole process of finding the right one and actually getting it done. Hope you guys enjoyed it!
