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.

Haus is a lovely little independent shop near Victoria Park which sells furniture and lighting. We particularly liked these delightful Hans J. Wegner chairs…

We recently placed an order with Holman Paints for our upcoming front door project: Sikkens Rubbol Primer and Rubbol XD Gloss, both tinted to Basalt by Little Greene. There’s going to be excitement and high drama among the passers-by when David is finished with this door, let me tell you…

A hearty to salute to Holman Paints and all who sail in her — if only every other supplier in the industry took the trouble to nail their online service the way these ladies and gents have. We recommend Holman to all painters and decorators in London and beyond.
