So Many Shades - So Little Time

Yesterday I posted before and after pics of my recent en-suite overhaul. So hard to choose colours - so many available. I actually enlisted the help of my lovely friend, who has a wonderful eye for styling and colour (although she has a white home!) 

I wanted the en-suite to tie in with my bedroom, which has evolved slowly over the last few years. With neutral walls and flooring, colour and interest has been added through pictures, textiles, cushions and accessories, many with blue/grey shades. 'C' helped me to compare colours and pointed out that grey WOULD look great as all the colours in my en-suite are earth colours, something I hadn't thought about (I have a thing for grey at the moment) and it would make the visual link with the master bedroom I was looking for.

Here are some pictures of my bedroom, with aforementioned blues and greys!

Doorway to the en-suite where the new grey can be seen....

Who else has difficulty choosing paint colours?

How do you choose?

Many Thanks for dropping by! :-)

Quick Colour Freshen Up

It's Spring. It's good to spruce and freshen up! 

Having had a stressful few work months and going through the most important thing in my career ever I took a few days off - & decided to give my en-suite a quick overhaul. 

With just a lick of paint it's gone from insipid to feeling stylish. I chose a lovely grey shade from Dulux - Chic Shadow, it brought out the grey of the tiles I had never noticed before and tied the earth colours of the tiles, carpeting and warmth of the wood nicely together.

Here you can see the old lemon colour on the ceiling above the shower cubicle.

After shots - chic grey walls ;-)

 Here you can see the grey of the tiles, which I had never really noticed before I started to apply the new grey colour.

 Obviously when decorating, it's a good time to de-clutter and pare back. I had a really good sort out of my toiletries. My cupboard has never been tidier!! (Not shown)

 Kenneth Turner candles are exquisitely scented and often available at knock down prices - This one is from TKMaxx, beautiful soft scent.

Must have new addition of Hammam towels from The White Company. Hammam towels are great for taking on holiday too! The grey stripe  & tassels add interest.

 

The grey looks really stylish next to the wood - I was a little concerned initially, but really pleased with the result.

 Bits & bobs!!

Gosh - that mirror needs a clean!!

Who else has been embracing Spring with a paintbrush in hand?

I still need to finish my front door I started last year ;-0

Bye for now & Happy Easter!
