:-D :-D :-D@ Fly!

Sounds good Von.

When I did GS1's room Spiderman, I bought a nice deep blue for one wall, mixed some white with it for the other 3, and yet more white until it was a white with a hint of blue for the ceiling and coving, and bright red for the shelves, door and fitted cupboards :-D :-D :-D

Grandson 1 was (and still is) like that.

I would love to repaint his old bedroom, but I know he would not be able to deal with that at present, with his condition. It's a feeling of security I think

No, I would think they could not turn you down if they have already okayed your neighbour :-)

When we were decorating the bedroom where the grandchildren sleep one of them asked what colour we were going to use cos he said
"I don't really like it when a room gets painted a different colour."
His Mum experiments with colours- usually pinks and purples.
So we painted it cream - the same colour as before :-0 :-0 :-0 :-D :-D :-D

I often up-cycle stuff!

Daughter says I'm a hoarder, but I say I save loads of money I haven't got but doing these things.

I had a dark blue velvet door curtain. When I changed the colour scheme I made it into a padded cushion to hang from a curtain rail as a headboard for GS1. I sewed on red Spiderman Flannels as pockets for his little teddies, for his Spider-man themed bedroom. He loved it! :-D :-D

Fly they were bits of mainly silk fabrics I had dyed on various courses,
They had been in a draw for ages so I was glad to use them for something

I hope so Fly :-)
Have you started the building work yet Fly?


I like things light and airy too Von. I tried white in the living room after it was plastered. But it is a tiny room and it was so brilliant white it gave me migraine. Then I found B&* Antique white which solved the problem.

I usually mix my own colours with odds and ends mixed in with lots of white :-D :-D :-D
