I LOVE interior design.

I just wish I could keep things so much tidier - I am crap at tidying/storage and I'm a hoarder lol - fortunately Steve isn't.

All rooms have pure briliant white ceilings and coving; neutral color vertical blinds; white central heating radiators; white doors and frames; beech skirting; (or at least they will when the kitchen and bathroom ever get finished). We plan on replacing all internal doors with pine doors that have 12 frosted glass panels in

lounge - pale copper (crown) bottom half * pale gold (crown) top half * celtic-y style border in copper/gold in middle * beech laminate flooring * natural wood bookcase * maple effect entertainment centre * grey sofa and chairs

bedroom - first dawn (dulux) top half * illusions (dulux) bottom half * same border as lounge but in blue/grey * beech laminate flooring * beech effect bed, side tables, wardrobes and chest of drawers

office - 3 walls are perfect peach (crown) and 1 wall (window wall) warm apricot (crown) * beech laminate flooring * beech effect desks and filing systems

bathroom - around bath pine cladding floor to ceiling * half height pine cladding on rest of room * top half (where not cladded) blue lagoon (dulux) * cork tile flooring * natural wood accents (mirrors etc) * white suite

kitchen - pale gold (crown) * large sunflowers stuck on walls * stainless steel fridge/freezer * maple effect units (some solid front, some frosted glass front) * dark blue work tops * solid pine 4 seater table * flooring - undecided

hallway - pale gold (crown) * flooring - undecided

Dulux Colors



Crown Colors



I'll take pics when it's tidy

**edit to add**
I found the crown swatches

thats josephs room. the ceilings slant down on one side upstairs in both rooms , luckily the master bedroom is downstairs with no slanted ceiling, it takes away the space in the room. josephs room also now has the little table and chairs that go with his bed in his room amongst tons of toys and stuffed animals, i got him a giant shamu as big as him at seaworld

finn's room...









our room... i hate the yellow walls, that's what color they were when we moved in. it actually doesn't look too bad in the pics but in real life it's really bright and ugly. i'd like to paint them a dark peach/mango color eventually.







the picture on the bookcase (a limited edition alkaline trio tour poster) needs to be hung on that wall, i'm just having a hard time finding a frame because it's a weird size. the closed door on the right is our second bathroom but i call it the walk-in closet because we use it for storage. see my hello kitty switchplate cover?

the kitchen and dining area aren't worth taking pictures of. although it might motivate me to clean them up a bit, so we'll see.

I went through loads of tester pots and was so glad I did.
the first colors I'd picked for the lounge were horrid once painted and dried.

I bought an A3 artist pad and painted each page half and half of the colors I chose and then stuck a strip of border on to see how they looked and then held in various parts of the room like behind the door, by the window, in daylight and false light.

but it saved us making a mistake on the actual walls lol.

I wanted (and got) calm neutrals and when people come round thet do compliment how relaxing it is and how well it goes together.

ugh I wanna take pics now but it is soooooooooooo not tidy.

Bridget you wanna lend me your domestic skills hun?

thanks! we painted it to match the duvet cover. i loved that duvet cover so much so we tried to work the whole room around it.

i'm on my way!

seriously though, i like to just pick one thing and work around that. like the duvet cover for the bedroom, the couches for the living room. i think finn's room is a little over the top but i guess it's cute for a baby, sometimes i'm like "what was i thinking?!" though.

thanks for the compliments everyone!
