    CTD, b+q and many independent tile shops.
    b+q probably wont have the full colour range.
    it really is widely available, just google your area.

    The Tile Mine - if you have one local - do a big range of coloured grout powder;)

    I'm buying some frames that look very similar to these;

    $_12.JPG

    Because of the colour choice I was thinking of getting some eggshell paint (like the look of laura ashley but may just pop into b&q) and painting them. Can anybody advise please, do I need to sand and prime if using eggshell? The frames are plastic/wood so not sure would sand very well anyway. Or would I be better to forget eggshell and use spray paint? (not so many colours to choose from though). Or do I go down the chalk paint route? Not going to make my own, would buy some, any recommendations? Many thanks.
