New @FarrowandBall colours in large format swatch just picked up, to add to my collection. On the way home, they brighten up the somber GWR carriages, gone are the days of joyful red upholstery, rich carpeting and warm lighting (and a cooked breakfast).

Almost completed the total transformation of a bathroom for a client in a listed modernist home on the Dartington Estate #Mosatiles #Siestacork #grohe #farrowandball #duravit. Working with Kevin Scott.

Built a wooden retaining wall in a client’s sloping garden. Photos show before during and after.

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

Ending the week putting up some more @Vitsoe shelves. Love the cavity fixings they provided.

My five year old daughter requested a cake that looked like a lemon. Mixing @morrionsuk colouring into butter icing turned out to be a good match to the @FarrowandBall archive colour #yellowcake

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

@stinamacdo @FarrowandBall It’s a great colour, we considered the new Orangey White but that looked too yellow and Primrosey, Ringwold delivers that vibe

#ringwoldground Estate Emulsion on lime plaster. A lovely glowing orangey cream, from the archive. Ceiling #dimity and woodwork pointing. @FarrowandBall

Wallpapering with a precious role of 1975 #LauraAshley ‘Design 1824’ in brown, in the hallway #cottagecore

Painting walls in a client match of Little Greene’s Green Verditer. Similar to my radio which I renovated in F&B Arsenic.

Much needed night time rain accelerates the pocket park. New blooms from Maigold rose and the oriental poppy. #LoveCasteSt

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

Redefining the edge of a mixed border, digging out old ivy roots and renewing the planting.

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

Plastered. First attempt, using Mike Wye ready mixed lime. @ Totnes https://t.co/YnLnePfeFf

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

Bench restoration underway. Sanded down to lots of bare cast iron and sapele timber and repainting in @FarrowandBall Terre d’Egypte exterior eggshell and exterior metal primer.

[Richard Reynolds @Richard_001]

We’ve fixed the dodgy latch into Castle Meadow #LoveCastleSt.

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

Leafleting for the @LibDems @TotnesLibDems in the Totnes constituency. Came across these inspiring new Net zero energy homes part funded by the @europeanunion__

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

Dutch Pink walls on lime plaster and preparation underway for Pointing on the panelling and Smoked Trout on the wooden stairs. @FarrowandBall

[Richard Reynolds @RFDReynolds]

Still contemplating which @farrowandball green for the bedroom. Mist coat of #suffield plus a deeper square (bottom left) Or perhaps #studio (BR) #lichen (TL) #calke (TR) or something else? #saxon #sutcliffe... Any advice.
