Most people seem to find the bedroom colour scheme and blue flowers a bit "much", but it is very much my style, so maybe I am a bit much, too ;-)<br />The living room is coming together very nicely.

There was also a red one in the pattern book, which looked fantastic, but would simply not be "me".<br />I sleep extremely well in my new, quiet bedroom - so well in fact that I have not even heard the church bells at 7:00 a few times!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-44426914330315607822016-04-25T00:32:46.687+02:002016-04-25T00:32:46.687+02:00Yes!

(As you will remember, it was the white on grey that I happened to see on a wall in TV programme.) The effect of the blue one surprised me a bit - but it looks very nice, and that blue border continuing along the yellow walls as well is a nice touch too. I hope you will sleep well in the new room! :)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-65978810020953676202016-04-24T19:30:34.295+02:002016-04-24T19:30:34.295+02:00Thank you, Jenny!
