“IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME, I WOULD USE A DIFFERENT PAINT ON THE WALLS”
ANNEMO QUIST PICECE, HOMEOWNER “I love the white base on all the walls and floors in the house, however, in Italy they use a very matt paint which, although I like the look of, is not easy to clean when you have children. I guess it’s quite normal to have marks after five years of heavy use, but unfortunately we now need to repaint large areas.”
