1. We chose a colour from the chip rack. However, there was so much choice it was slightly overwhelming. But to have the option of a colour match was handy. I already knew hat there was a section with different lights to get out how a colour Can look different at different times of day, however it was not working (two light bulbs were missing). Staff were ever so helpful and helped me choose the right "type" of paint based upon how much light came into the room and at what time of day etc.
   

2.we decorated our children's room as the walls hadn't been painted in a while and needed a fresh lick of paint. There were marks on the wall from old Blu-tack etc.

1. overall, the paint was very good. It had a premium feel to it which you don't get with cheaper paints. We used the same amount of paint that we would have done with any other brand so it doesn't work out more expensive. The quality of paint was thick enough to cover old marks on the paint, and it dries fully in a few hours. I was concerned that we were painting too close to bedtime and I didn't want the kids sleeping in a room with fumes. However, this paint did not smell and there was no trace of smell come bed time. I could have done just the one coat, it was that good, but we did two just to keep it in pristine condition.
   

4.yes most definitely so. The cost is a bit more than I would usually pay, but I did say to my Husband, that we would easily spend that much on a meal whereas this will last a lot longer than a meal, And it's scrub able. So any marks can be rubbed off and the paint should last!

We went from cream to pink!

Just a follow up from me it's been a while since we painted the walls with valspar, I love it and we will be using it in the kids bedrooms when we decorate next month it's hard wearing and durable and we are able to wipe it down when little hands leave marks. Very impressed .
