From moving in to my new abode in January it
took a while to scrape some money together to decorate but after a few months, it
was time to put on some tatty clothes and get decorating.
Who invented sanding?
So I didn't realise decorating wouldn't just be
painting a pretty colour onto a wall. NO you have to sand the whole bloody
thing down which took forever and my time frame of one weekend was sadly untrue.
So after sanding and then scrubbing it down with
sugar soap it was time to finally paint!
So many colours
We went with Dulux paint for the lounge and with
so many colours of paint to choose from it was hard to know where to start, and
how to choose what colour each room should be?
The Dulux website offers lots of inspiration and
I recommend getting the booklet to help you visualize!
So we first got six samples of our favourite
colours.
From left to right we have:
1. Dusted Fondant
2. Polished Pebble
3. Sea Urchin 1
4. Mellow Mocha
5. Overtly Olive
6. Mint Macaroon
Sea Urchin 1 is actually this season’s number 1.
colour and is modeled by Alesha Dixon as a peacock!
After the
testing we were still confused, we loved the colours especially polished pebble
and Mint Macaroon but we were not sure they were right for the lounge so in the
end after hearing some gossip about using ‘Natural Hessian’ I just picked at
random. Natural Hessian for the walls and willow tree for a feature wall (I was nervous
about not testing the colour first but I absolutely love it)
For the ceiling
we wanted to keep it white using Brilliant White to ensure the space remained light and keep the illusion that it is larger than it is.
Next task
is to do the create wooden floors and paint hallway – watch this space!
