A love of colour

Since living in my own home I have never been one to shy away from a lot little  bit of colour!

It was not unusual in our early days of marriage to have Mr K come home to an entirely different coloured home to the one that he had left in the morning....yes..I am a dab hand with a paint brush/roller.

Paint was and still i,s a cheap and easy way to transform a look.. I have had half painted walls with wall paper borders, feature walls etc, etc....

In our current home we have had..... purple, green, blue, dusty pink, toffee, black  (not all at once of course) and at the moment the majority of the home is painted a colour called  'Portland Stone'..a kind of beige colour.

While it's a lot lighter than I am used to, I am leaning toward painting our home...

'WHITE'

.... yes you saw it first...

'WHITE'....

 unheard of in this little painters pot......or at least a kind of shade of white...maybe.......

The reason?????

Every time I look at a picture of the look I'm after..

the background is WHITE or at least neutral....

 Love the look of the black furniture and I have painted some of my timber pieces black!

 

Also loving the effect texture has against such a neutral background....

A suitcase collection 'to die for'..have to keep adding to mine...

The old bed and gorgeous throw..yum..

And the white background of that dresser..gorgeously, gorgeous...

Any thoughts????

Enjoy your weekend
