Gosh, some very nice colour schemes. do you tend to follow colour co-ordination throughout the house, or do you prefer each room different. Right now I am into chocolates, whites, browns, bronzes, and creams.

natural woodwork , cream walls . dont have stairs
oak floors, black slate tiles in kichen.

My hall is a mess, waiting for my new porch to be completed which should be in a few weeks - then I can attack the hall with vigour.

Its my front room that worries me - I worked so hard on it last year and finished it in Jan 07.

Everything out!!!! Spent ages choosing colours and went for a very pretty brown and cream paper - brown suite, new carpet - doors and all woodwork stripped right back through years of gloss sanded right down and repainted - new lamps and cushions - I was so proud of my effort and choices........

......Then about 6 months ago a certain TV Soap which has a slightly 'mad' relative in it - shot some scenes in what was supposed to be where she lived ....

I sat there looking at identical walls to the ones I put so much effort into and looked at her suite and almost died!!!!!

And it was made out to look awful! At least she didnt have my curtains!

BARE BRICK WALLS
EXSPOSED CEILING JOISTS
BARE TILED FLOOR
HALF HANGING OUT DOOR
STRIPPED OFF PAINT

GO ON ADMIT IT
YOU ARE ALL JEALOUS.......

WAITING FOR NICK KNOWLES TO ARRIVE

I WISH.......

You trend setter CMD!!

My house is a small 1930's terrace so have plumped for buttermilk walls downstairs (including bathroom), hall and landing - just a standing area top & bottom of the stairs really - and stairs. Pale laminate in living room & bathroom, green lino in kitchen, beige carpet on stairs. White in 2 bedrooms and daughter has painted her room green.
All bedroom floors are just floorboards.

Sounds boring, but I have had, in the living room - and therefore stairs as well, pink, battleship grey, green, sunflower yellow and deep red!!! Thought I'd go for simplicity last time!!

Been doing up my hall at the weekend... woodwork almost done... brought the paper its sort of chocolate colour with leafy pattern for the bottom.... then soft stone for the top.. we have dado rail in the middle.

Colours we like at the mo is creams browns chocolate
