Inspired by a recent lounge painting and decorating job in Duffield recently. The customer suggested their choice of Elephant’s Breath paint – if you know, you know of course – it’s a famous shade by Farrow and Ball*. Not knocking that, and it’s a dreamy paint to apply; but the name inspired a few ideas so we sourced some suggestions for our own upcoming New Look Decorators Derby Paint Range ™. Obviously it’s early days. But we think the range is full of promise. Full of something, definitely. We can see a new domain and website coming along very soon…
