The hope that we may be
able to use up one of the half-dozen or so half empty containers of
imaginatively named magnolia emulsion for decorating the dairy was short-lived
as none provided sufficient contrast to the freshly re-painted woodwork, so it
was off to the DIY store to buy something a little darker (and if necessary a
new matching colour for the wood); a leaf through the Dulux, Crown and B&Q
shade cards had me toying with the exotic before returning home with Chocolate
Milkshake emulsion and Cocoa Bean gloss, where it was no real surprise to find
the colour unfolding on the wall nothing like that depicted on the tin - a
little pinkish, more mushroom pate than chocolate milkshake - but thankfully
still an acceptable shade for the walls (particularly if the Cocoa Bean tends
to the aubergine).
