Restaurant redecoration in south London

Pullens was a familiar presence in Herne Hill from the 1980s until it shut down in early 2016. The restaurant will finally be reopening – as Llewelyn’s, a sister project of Myla & Davis – in late March 2017.

David and the Trim team have been responsible for redecorating the restaurant and the property above it. The lower facade, which has required a lot of restoration work using Repair Care, has changed from a faded mid-blue to Pitch Black by Farrow & Ball.

We’re wishing the Llewelyn’s team well as opening day approaches.

Colour Makes People Happy

We hope that more painters and decorators in London discover the fine paints made by Colour Makes People Happy, which is run by Simon March in East Dulwich. 

In Port Magazine’s interview, Simon nicely removes the mystique which so often surrounds the marketing of paint… 

“Making paint is no more difficult than making bread. It’s made of three basic ingredients. If you want your paint for outside use, you put more resin in it: if you want it interior use, very often people want it to appear “flatter” so you take resin out and put more chalk into it. It’s quite a simple thing to do.”

Mylands – London's last paint manufacturer

Mylands, a venerable English paint manufacturer established in 1884, is deserving of your attention if you are planning any redecoration or floor sanding.

“Today, we’re still in Lambeth, the last remaining paint manufacturer in London, and John’s great-grandson Dominic Myland carries on the family tradition of perfection in paint.

We’re preserving the time-honoured, traditional approach to making the finest quality paints and finishes, while making the most of the latest technical advances in paint development. By blending the old with the new, we’re creating time-honoured shades and finishes with all of the benefits of modern performance and technology.”

Mylands have just released their new spring collection, which can be found here.

We hope to use their products more often in 2017.
