Shoppers 'transform rooms' using £30 Millie Mackintosh paint range that's 'easy to use'
For those wanting to revitalise their living space, a simple coat of paint can work miracles. Whether you're updating your kitchen cabinets, injecting character with coloured skirting boards, or designing a statement wall in the lounge, the perfect shade of paint can breathe new life into any room. Choosing the ideal paint hue can be tricky, with an overwhelming array of options making the selection process somewhat intimidating. Yet, the latest collection from the luxury, environmentally friendly label COAT Paints may just solve this issue. The brand has teamed up with popular TV figure and health guru Millie Mackintosh for the launch. The collection boasts an array of colours suitable for every nook and cranny in the home, covering bedrooms and bathrooms to kitchens and entrance halls. Discussing her collaboration, Made in Chelsea alum Millie Mackintosh, aged 35, shared: "Creating a mindful home environment has been essential to me, especially as I've navigated motherhood and my personal wellness journey. "Every colour in this collection is a reflection of that - whether it's the calming tones of 'Balance' or the warm embrace of 'Gratitude.' I wanted this palette to encourage people to slow down, reflect, and create spaces that feel comforting and rejuvenating", reports the Mirror. The COAT x Millie Mackintosh range features six unique hues. There's Presence, a Blush Plaster Pink; Poise, a Pale Blush Pink; Centred, an Earthy Pale Beige; Renew, a Teal Blue; Manifest, a Soft Fresh Green; and Nourish, a gentle, muted sage green. All of the hues are available in six finishes - Flat Matt, Soft Sheen, Interior Eggshell, Exterior Eggshell, Claypaint, and Floor Paint - ensuring there's a formula for every surface. Coat Paints Depending on the quantity of paint required, the collection is offered at various price points: from £30 for 1L, £56 for 2.5L, or £96 for 5L. Plus, it's simple to test before purchasing, with peel-and-stick samples available in each shade that are fully recyclable and 100% accurate to the actual paint colour. If this range doesn't quite hit the mark with customers, they could consider Farrow and Ball's new spring range, which features shades like deep red, mustard yellow, olive green and duck-egg blue, with prices around £33 for 750ml to £128 for 5L. Alternatively, House of Hackney offers a broad selection of made-to-order, water-based, low VOC, low odour paints across the colour spectrum, with prices around £59 for 2.5L or £100 for 5L. The paints from COAT - a B Corp Certified company - which are water-based, low V.O.C, premium paints designed to be among the highest-quality on the market, have proven to be popular with shoppers. The Coat paint range has garnered flawless reviews, with one customer exclaiming: "Just had our hallway and landing painted in Coat paint whilst away and all I can say is wow! Decorator not used Coat before but commented on excellent application. We have used Coat before ourselves and found it to be extremely easy to use and also the colours are amazing. Customer service is also second to none. We needed paint quickly and they upgraded to next day delivery." Another reviewer raved about the unique colours: "Beautiful soft hues, with colours you can't find anywhere else. I really enjoyed transforming my rooms with this paint, it has great coverage and is a real joy to use." A customer who opted for the Poise shade saidd: "I love this colour! I really wanted a pink bedroom but not too little girly feel. Poise was the perfect shade for that, it's so soft and subtle but at the same, so girly and a great pink. Did 2 layers and it's so lush!" One reviewer noted a slight discrepancy in the Renew shade's colour representation online, but was pleased with the final result: "The colour is a little different from what it looks like on the website - in my living room anyway - a bit more blue and less teal. It matches the sample sticker perfectly though, so I got what I was expecting." Another criticism came from a customer who experienced issues with delivery, but praised the customer service team for their prompt assistance: "Lovely paint colours, like the eco credentials. Good coverage and nice finish. Some issues with couriers lately, but customer service always very helpful and solve problems quickly." Someone else expressed initial doubts that were quickly dispelled: "I was unsure how pink this would be, but it's just perfect," they remarked about Poise. The COAT range, in collaboration with Millie Mackintosh, is up for grabs on their website.

Triad woman hits the ground running to help feed community
TRINITY, N.C. (WGHP) — When Kim Reddick became aware of the dire need to address the prevalence of hunger and poverty in the Piedmont Triad, she and others literally hit the ground running to do their part. She started a 5K to help children have enough to eat. 'I instantly felt like God wanted me to do something to help fund the backpack program in the Archdale-Trinity community,' Reddick said. 'So that was what I did. I went to COAT, and I said, 'I want to plan a 5K, and I want to give you the money, and I want it to be for the Backpack Pals.'' COAT is an acronym for Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity. That initial 5K in 2014 became the beginning of Reddick's nonprofit Run 5 Feed 5. Reddick says a few years into its mission, God made it very clear that the nonprofit's assignment was bigger. 'About three years later, we started feeding children in the summer, and what made us different was that we delivered food to children. Instead of families having to come to a pantry to get food, we actually had volunteers that would deliver the food to their homes,' she said. Children also receive meals during Christmas break. Now, in the process of preparing for the 12th anniversary of the spring 5K run/walk, Run 5 Feed 5 has grown tremendously since the early years. After initially only serving the Archdale-Trinity community, the nonprofit now feeds more than 500 children, serving all of Randolph County and some of Guilford and Davidson counties. 'We still provide a $30,000 grant every year to COAT to provide the backpack program for the Archdale-Trinity community,' Reddick said. 'We do grants for Communities in Schools. We've granted Communities in Schools of High Point, Davidson, and Randolph County. We provide some grants to schools who don't have backpack support.' Another part of Run 5 Feed 5's outreach is its Pack the Pantry program, which provides boxes of snack foods to local schools to support kids who may need extra food or children who come to school without a snack. Run 5 Feed 5 doesn't have any paid employees. The organization relies on an average of 400 to 500 volunteers a year. 'It seems like every time I'd say, 'OK, God, I don't know if I can keep doing this or is this the right direction?' Then He would provide,' Reddick said. Reddick is appreciative of the volunteers and her family members who have loyally contributed their time and talents to walk alongside her in this journey, including her husband, children, mother-in-law and Vintage Church family. 'We literally are an organization ran by the community because we have no employees. We all just get it done and serve and live and love like Jesus. That's our church's motto. … live and love like Jesus, and I feel it with everything that we do here and the way that we treat children and families and the way we serve with love and not with judgment or expectations,' she said.
