I said: "No, I want a certain red-brown". He: "No - I like green better." I told him it is not a question of like - either it is historic conservating or taste - and if it is taste, the one who pays decides. He went up and scratched the colours of - the ancient colour was: brown-red, as I thought. Haha - so he had to allow it.

To be totally fair, there is no problem as Tom is in charge. However, the 150 year old paint is a lovely clew to the historical accuracy of your restoration.

It is good to see that your not going for the ' Lichen ', ' French Gray ', ' Vert de Terre ' look that most do around Bath and The Cotswolds although, I succumbed to ' Bone ' this year when we had the outside of our house painted. Then again, pubs are a different kettle of fish. If I remember rightly, your pub is still a traditional hostelry so, ' Eating Room Red ' is a good choice, especially after your discovery.
