Just found this pic in my photobucket of when I painted the kitchen. We went through a mad colour phase and gradually everything is going back to greys and purples.
thats pretty much the same as mine would be. doesnt look too bad but wouldd probably need some good lights

Yes, definitely. Cool white led's would probably do the trick.

Mine in the kitchen and bathroom. Both from Dunelm.

Floor mat and matching towels in the en suite. Also fitted a mirror today as it previously didn't had one and was difficult shaving blind.

Question about kitchen blinds. Window hole is 990 down, 1240 wide.
Can't seem to find any roll blinds near this size.
Hilary's Blinds did all my house. Can usually get a good % off too and they all fit great with a good warrenty

Hillarys wanted a grand for 9 blinds in my house. Plain beige ones, no fancy patterns. They can go fuck.

Can buy blinds for about £15 from the range and fit them myself.

I had 8 done and it was £1.2k but that included patio doors, and some wooden blinds. Worth it though imo

Many blind places will offer massive discounts if you provide the measurements and fit them yourself. Saved a fortune doing that in my gaff.

For now all I need is kitchen window then a long one for the patio doors. Kitchen window will be a roller blind the other will be then window length things with weights in the bottom like my office has. Just a better colour.

Anyone who chooses to paint a wall red can fuck off and die. Took 4 coats of dulux magnolia to cover the bastard at my new place.

I would take painting over a red wall any day than trying to remove wood chip wallpaper

Neo, I agree. It started flaking last year, possibly due to moisture and I ended up scraping it all off. Wouldn't dare paint over it, would probably take 50 litres of dulux
Barnes, whats that lighty up duck about?

Looks awesome Nic. Reminds me of when our house was new.
However those mats around the toilet make me cringe a bit. Not only are they a bit 80's, and get in the way, but when you miss the target (come on...we all do when half asleep or your cock is playing games), I'd rather wipe piss up off a tiled floor than have it sat soaked into a mat.
Ordered 3 ducks btw
