Bravo! It looks wonderful. You have a nice aesthetic. I don''t know what it looked like before, but I can see the peace inside of you being reflected in your home, and hopefully reflected back. I''ve never been into blue, being a redhead to my toenails - warm colors all the way. But in the last couple of years or so, I''ve developed this strange love of robin''s egg blue, and blue-greens. I can''t actually DO anything about it decorating-wise, because I''d have to re-do EVERYTHING to work even a bit of it in. So I just look longingly at the houses of those who didn''t have my little life-long prejudice.

It also makes me a bit nostalgic. Understand right here, that I''m NOT complaining about my wonderful man and wouldn''t trade him for anything, but...I do miss my clean, tidy, relatively uncluttered house that I had pre-hubs. It was perfect for one, but kinda cramped for two. Oh wait...three. Can''t forget the dog.

When I was looking for paint there was a great deal on Cath Kitston paints. Only £5 a pot! I got the turquoise and also linen white. I don''t know if you have her stuff over there so here is a Link

I have to admit that I love the uncluttered look. I have that much clutter in my brain, its nice to have space around me

Thank you for all the lovely comments. I worked hard to make the house the way I want it to be. I guess we can safely say I have moved on and am happy.

Maisie, it''s beautiful! My favorite is the driftwood bowl! Oh, and the table and chairs. I love that not all the chairs are the same. It all just looks so welcoming. Great job!

I love to have my family round a big table. The kids try to escape but I make them stay and chat. They WILL bend to my will!

The bowl was from this site....

That price is a steal for that bowl if you ask me. It''s perfect!

I just noticed your doggie laying on the area rug...does he lay on any new rug you put down? We bought our house about a year ago and it''s hardwood floors throughout. We have gradually purchased area rugs for every room and, without fail, you''re barely done laying the thing on the floor and the dang dog plops right on it!

Its just beautiful, such soft colors ... you did a great job

Great job Maisie, it looks awesome

i love the wallpaper and fireplace...and the pup too

Blossom would rather lie on a rug than her bed. I am close to just getting rid of her bed and accepting she would rather just put all her hairs on my rugs. She follows me everytime I leave the room so she lies wherever I am. Little sweetheart. I love her so much!
