More painting............

I have had a productive week this week painting feature walls in the Ensuite and Family rooms, while Kell did her rooms.
I am soooo pleased with the outcome of all rooms, tho the family room wall needs tizzing up.

Kelly had no trouble at all picking out two purple shades for her rooms....on the other hand it took awhile, a long while to find a suitable red for the family room...in the end i took a scrap of cardboard off a coke box and took it with me to Bristol....all the reds we had seen have been a brown base...in the end we ended up with a Tint base...so when i say i am pleased with the way it turned out it would be an understatement.
As for the Ensuite i knew i wanted a very pale shade of blue, some of them looked great until you put the swatch up on the wall and they turned out to be too dark.

Eventually the hall will have its major wall painted yellow to brighten it up....eventually.

Also after finally getting my plants from my mums, where they have been for nearly 2 years, i got around (with a little help from the family) to planting the gardenias in front of the study window....i underplanted them with the dwarf Hidecote lavanders from the driveway bed....it will look stunning in the spring  :)


The colour is Icemist

The wall looks lonely

Red tint base...love it


The colour on the archway believe it or not is the same colour as the wall in the other room
