Ok so I know I sound like a typical middle class brat but our decorator, after painting the rest of the house various shades of F&B estate emulsion has taken it upon himself to paint our hall stairs and landing in modern emulsion.Why I do not know. Mistake I guess. I noticed because it looked weirdly reflective with the lights on and so I checked the tin. It's not like I wouldn't have noticed had I not seen the tin.
I had already thought it was a bit meh and two dimensional looking but assumed it just need another coat. Nope.
It just looks awful. None of the usual depth of colour and texture. Plus the shine! It's really bad. And looks even worse as everything else is the estate.
Sent a quite upset email to builder (not at all stroppy- we have known him years and get on v well) but have yet to hear back. They finish for Christmas on fri so no doubt will say no time to fix it. Or I'm overreacting and should just live with it.
Just really It sounds silly but I've put so much into every little detail and this really spoils the effect.
