Your home is also coming along as well. <br /><br />lol Harry, sorry no guns here. Only archery bows. I dont actually know anyone who owns a gun...

At one time I would have gone for white, but living in an old cottage which has white walls but wooden ceilings, I would go for dark wood furniture. <br /><br />It is a good feeling to get a place sorted out as well I know, although it is an effort to get it done it is always worthwhile.

It boggles my mind. Even a sick dog, you would do what you could to make it better wouldnt you?<br /><br />I am hoping that after Christmas I find some furniture in a charity shop. I hope it isnt going to look like an old ladies house... eek. if it is no good I will have to paint it.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for your comments to day.

It needs something. It needs some pizzazz. you know what I mean.<br /><br />I rest quite a bit at the moment. lol I cant not. I dragged a branch from one side of the garden to the other at lunch time today. With my right arm. The limb had cracked off of the trunk of the tree and had to be moved as it was on the driveway. thank god it didnt fall on the car.

I have hit a wall with it all. We have had to fight this house, from the very beginning nothing has been straight forward...

Chuck out the chintz. I also have a huge soft spot for Scandi/French style. I am addicted to interior magazines and blogs.<br /><br />Hi Jackie, I hadnt thought about that with the cushions! Excellent idea. I will wait to see if I can find some cushion pads if not I will have to ask my sister to help me with sewing it on to the pillows. The sewing machine and are have a love-hate relationship. I like to think that I am excellent at it but really I am awful.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-36182416350698877072015-12-02T13:22:58.193+00:002015-12-02T13:22:58.193+00:00Personally, I dislike dark and white furniture, I ...Personally, I dislike dark and white furniture, I like something between the two, leaning toward lighter.

I also have to think that if at any point we are in need of extra money, if we had to we could rent the room out. Have to think of all of theses things, just in case. <br /><br />Cats seem to be the worst dont they. Stinky if they cant go outside. its gross.

I appreciate them in other peoples houses and think they look pretty and in some settings I really love them. But I dont cope well with 'Busy'. Especially when working on a new contract. I need to come home flop down and only be looking at pictures if I want to. Rather than things smacking me in my face.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-85642856722092218012015-12-02T12:31:56.863+00:002015-12-02T12:31:56.863+00:00I don't like dark furniture having grown up in...I don't like dark furniture having grown up in a 1950s house where everything was dark but I'm no good at knowing what looks good anyway as virtually all the furniture we have is whatever we could find for our needs-secondhand - at the time.<br />No help really!<br />We bought a house in 1980 where the woman bred cats - The smell was awful but we got the house cheap and had to rip out skirting boards and all the wood round doors etc.<br />Made a good profit when we sold thoughSue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-13542128395695742762015-12-02T12:16:40.096+00:002015-12-02T12:16:40.096+00:00I'm glad you got rid of stinky carpets and flo...I'm glad you got rid of stinky carpets and floorboards! I really love the slightly masculine look in a bedroom, although our room is probably rather darker than yours. Almost ten years down the line and I still love it - so you can guess which way I would vote. The room is looking great after all your hard work.<br />ps One of our other rooms has a bed which is about the colour of your Venetian blinds and that looks rather nice too.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461759848289268517noreply@blogger.com
