Decorating

[Fran]

I suggested to hubby that we might give the dining room a lick of paint to clean it up before Christmas. Great idea except hubby has decided some of the plaster need to come off and be replaced and faux fireplace would be a nice idea :shock: so a lick pf paint has turned into this :shock: :shock: :shock:

[EmmaG]

[Fran]

Thanks Emma....any ideas on a colour scheme :p

[EmmaG]

lol well I tend to paint rooms in quite loud colours, our living room is a jade green, hallway yellow, front bedroom cornflower blue, back bedroom mustard spice, dining room Smoking jacket (dark red) kitchen, farrow & ball breakfast room green (pale green) bathroom lilac :)

[EmmaG]

[Fran]

how about magnolia :)


:lol: well actually Emma, I usually go for loud colours but I was thinking maybe a neutral theme for this room :D

That's gonna look good Fran.

Colours? - I love that lovely pale creamy yellow on the walls of the West Wing. I used to watch every episode (think it's getting a little past its sell by date now) and without fail, at some point during the episode, when CJ and Josh were in the middle of a vital discussion as they moved down the West Wing corridor, I would say 'Oh, I love that colour on the walls - I must get a shade card and see what it's called........'

Good luck finishing it off!:)

[Fran]

Thanks DM :D I've never seen the West Wing....must look into that :-D
