I think your allowed to paint but not put wallpaper up, I could be wrongI thought when you got a new build you had to wait a while to paint? Or is that just certain ones? I know Lindsey.lifestyle said they have to wait a year
We were told to wait 18 months to decorate because the walls needed to fully settleI thought when you got a new build you had to wait a while to paint? Or is that just certain ones? I know Lindsey.lifestyle said they have to wait a year
Can’t work out if your being sarcastic or not?You’re allowed to do whatever you like if you own it
I live in a new build (renting) we’ve been told to wait 6-12m otherwise the paint / wallpaper will crack, and will need to redo it
Nope lolCan’t work out if your being sarcastic or not?
It’s not about if you own it or not - it’s about keeping the house in good nick. In fact, if you own it, it’s just as, if not more important, not to decorate it - because it’s your own property you’re potentially damaging!Nope lol
Anyway just watched the recent vlog one thing that bothers me is Elle paying for everything. What is connors job? Surely he can’t afford 50% of everything
Everyone’s saying she’s not allowed... who’s going to tell her off. And it wouldn’t damage the property, it would just end up costing more as it would need redoingIt’s not about if you own it or not - it’s about keeping the house in good nick.

is that really your argument To this conversation!?You’re allowed to do whatever you like if you own it

my friend saw her in B&Q, he said she had copies!!So the paint swatches from the other day on her story - she said they were all farrow and ball.
Today she’s posted her room painted... look in the fireplace.
Now don’t get me wrong I approve of getting a cheaper version and getting a colour match but I don’t like the fact it’s not pointed out because farrow and ball paint is the insta ‘thing’ at the moment.
Maybe I’m taking it too heart too much but it pisses me off.
All our paint colours we “stole” from Farrow & Ball and just got crown to mix them for us so I can’t blame them there, and when I tell people I do say “oh yes this is Farrow and Ball Wimborne White”So the paint swatches from the other day on her story - she said they were all farrow and ball.

You are right, I get that but as she says she’s just a normal person etc wouldn’t it be more relatable to say that rather than be all ‘fancy fancy paint in my new build’ Paint that will probably crack soon as the plaster won’t have dried out properly in their new house...All our paint colours we “stole” from Farrow & Ball and just got crown to mix them for us so I can’t blame them there, and when I tell people I do say “oh yes this is Farrow and Ball Wimborne White”at least they’re being sensible with their money
Very true, I’d find that very relatableYou are right, I get that but as she says she’s just a normal person etc wouldn’t it be more relatable to say that rather than be all ‘fancy fancy paint in my new build’ Paint that will probably crack soon as the plaster won’t have dried out properly in their new house...
That is refreshing, good on herVery true, I’d find that very relatable
Edit: I just watched her vlogmas from today and she did say she took it to B&Q and they mixed a colour so she was honest about it! Definitely don’t see a problem with this and refreshing compared to someone like Gabby who basically should be paying rent in F&B for the amount of time she spends in there
Completely agree!This won’t go down well,
but considering we haven’t seen Elle visit her mum, her mention her mum, and Katie has got the bus to meet Elle In town, and has gone over to their new house.
and considering in the days they were supposed to be in New York Elle has got.
a new range launched.
a new sofa delivered.
a sitting room painted.
a kitchen island made and installed.
a fireplace built and painted,
electrician and painters in........
I’m betting this is the reason they posponed the holiday, sure they had only been home 2 weeks and moved house.
if they had gone to new york none of this would be done.
I know her mum is sick but I’m leaning more towards it being the house and new angelllelele range that’s kept them home
Yes glad she said it, also most decorators don’t rate F&B. I have zero problem with colour matching. The house will settle and they will get cracks I expect, but easy to fill and paint over.Very true, I’d find that very relatable
