UPDATE ON SHOPPING FOR BEDROOM MAKE OVER

Managed to find 2 mirrors in a sale similar to the ones I had seen in my inspirational picture collection on Pinterest to go over the bedroom chests of drawers.....

MY PINTEREST FOLDER FOR BEDROOM MAKE OVER

They are already hung and i'm very happy with them, just waiting for carpets and the new chests of draws to arrive and i need to finish painting the doors in Winter Grey Chalk PAINT

to be hung landscape over the chests of drawers each side of the bed, like this inspirational picture......

I think i need two new lights and something like 2 small trays to protect the wooden tops on the chests of drawers from glasses of wine and

 cups of coffee

Wouldn't a real silver tray each side look fabulous? Iol, I wish! 

Just like this....beautiful solid silver tray

may be it might be too much?

Good job 'cos i can't afford one silver tray, let alone 2!

Might have managed the price of this one......pity its out of stock and not silver 

or maybe a perfume bottle, would look good...

or a vase or two...

lots of affordable nick nacks about, but playtime after the big pieces are all together is best.

Thanks again to all who joined Sue Pinner's 2017 pattern club 

Loved every minute of it xxx

BUSY BUSY BUSY....GREY CROCHET and lots of Decorating

To move or not to move...that is the question? So decorating to start with and see if i change my mind about moving.

Buying grey paint has been a nightmare, been using Valspar paint and the colour changes in the room, so in the end we mixed the 2 paints we bought together to make the colour we wanted.... good job we mixed enough for touch up as it hasn't covered in one go...bit disappointed with the paint I'm afraid... 

It changes shade drastically from wet paint to dry too

 and this 'Grey' wall looked blue after it dried...decided to finish to and live with it for now though

 different time of day and it changed again...never had paint look so different from shop to wall and in different times of the day

Double doors are also now painted a pale grey

and the butchers trolly and stool are a dark grey too...the table legs will be dark grey and the top of the table will have a distressed finish on it as soon as we can get to it 

Mangaged a little bit of crochet playtime after digging out all the grey samples to complete for the grey kitchen..

plenty of 'grey' project i can complete for Kitchen sofa blankets

EASTER LAYOUT

Easter LO to see what the painting will look like over the bed when its finished and remember what l did for Easter 2009 of course!
