    Well done Luc, very productive day. :T

    I have painted the first of the 5 walls (it's a strange shape) in my new bedroom. Three blimmin' coats, and until it's dry, I wont know if it needs a fourth....whoever painted it green and blue with a space ship border previously was an absolute....oh wait, it was me.... :o

    Anyone any good at interior decor? Need help deciding what to do.

    I am painting all the walls cream, and there will be a new beige/taupe/natural-y carpet. I can't take the existing border off (it's glued to the wallpaper underneath, which I'm not stripping because it's not textured, so it gives me a nice smooth, flat surface to paint).

    Obviously, even when painted, you will be able to see the border is still there.

    So my options are:

    1. Get a new border (really not keen on this idea as I like minimalist, and flowery borders just aren't my style).

    2. Paint the border in a dark chocolate colour and make a feature of it. Use dark chocolate as an accent colour in the rest of the room with artwork, cushions etc.

    3. Paint it a very pale beige colour that only just stands out from the cream, so acknowledging that it is there, but still keeping everything pale and neutral.

    I'd love to not have any border at all, but I'm stuck with it. What do you think?

    I would go with option 3 in the first instance...then if you don't like it you could do 2.

  • Thanks Sammy and Toto...

    In other news and back to cakes etc. Today I had to cream and jam 100 scones. Now that in itself wouldn't be too bad. But I last had a scone in May, and I used to put away 3 of our cafe ones in one sitting. Yes and people wondered why I was morbidly obese :rotfl: So that was one hell of a test... I passed though :j
