If it helps, I'm choosing bathroom colours today and not choosing a Greene blue is REALLY hard, lol.


We had been going to have a blue ceiling in there but have changed our minds, and have been planning a soft white but I am having a panic about lack of colour although i know it would look chic and its how i have pictured it, but I am dithering over this because of the last minute tile change from a natural stone (a warm 'white' )to a whiter white ceramic.

S it might be that or a 'white' like this

I'll know by the end of the week because I need to do the ceiling before the tiler comes in. Blue ceiling and white. Off White and off white walls or French greys. (Which totally changes the plan and means I need a different curtain rail...the one I have for in there was to be the only other colour in there, and is a pale turquoise and distressed gold....)

I can't decide if you'd be really helpful to have on site, or really confusing Looks like our final choice will be similar to the French Grey Mid here. But what colour window frames to go with now :eek:

I need to stay well away from things with wallpaper in them - that's even more perplexing. Little Greene - pah!

Hahahaha.

Don't worry about interiors yet, You have loads of time for that. Your kids will draw on everything yet anyway.


I'd decided on the ceiling. f and b all white ceiling.:D Gives me best variety of other options.

I'll tackle walls another day:)

Yes, it does......

I, obviously, picked the wrong one.

3 Bristol Channel? could be off Ilfracombe but could be anywhere . The clue is in the rowing boats, as the paddle steamers couldnt dock here

Probably Lynmouth then but there were several other places up the Bristol Channel where the steamers couldn't land.

5 Not sure. Could be somewhere like Combe Martin. Close, but no cigar

Thought it was down at seaside CM. Here's one that is.

The trouble is that all the places looked much the same :rotfl:

The paddle steamers were off Clovelly. Hmm, asking for a location based on a seascape is a bit naughty

Combe Martin looks right as you say but the photo caption says it is Westward Ho.

That'll be why I didn't know it then. Anywhere that needs an exclamation mark in it's name is undesirable territory in my book :rotfl:

sounds beautiful alf. You naturally have the style the rest of us have to work at


I do find colour really impacts on my day to day mood. Colour, style, scents, things like that, To some they don't mater at all and a frankly a big waste of money, to others they are money well spent.

Today I am on my back a lot of the day. So I have been noticing the bits we need to second coat in our bedroom. Lol. Winter jobs, huh.
