Ok. Can anyone have a quick look?
Thinking Dulux denim drift on top & dusted fondant on the bottom.
Any other suggestions?

they look lovely. I also checked out the lilacs but they are too bright I think. I don't suppose you could take a picture of the carpet just to check it against that?

Stuart McBride was too gritty for me and so was Val McDermid! Rankin is always brilliant though . There are some brilliant scottish crime writers around at the moment. Have you tried Denise Mina or Alex Gray? I'm reading Kate Ellis at the moment as her detective books are set in South Devon and the police detective is black and has an archaeology degree. It's a good series.

I think blues or lilacs would look nice with a purple carpet. There are so many shades to choose from that tester pots are probably a good idea. They can look really different when  you actually get them on the wall and different again when they dry.

Exciting - new paint in the bedroom. I like the purple and blue. I bought a lilac shade at B&Q yesterday for gks room I want white paintwork and pale grey carpet and I’ve ordered a variety of purple materials and pink tape to make bunting......hope I don’t live to regret making it rather than buying some 😲 I have aubergine coloured curtains....so hopefully should come together ok 🤞Just need to wait for my decorating friend now then all systems go 👍

I love Alex Grey.  Her next one is due out next month 
You are right about so many shades.

I have spent much of the day starting to declutter in my room.
Getting their slowly but have done too much so now watching Millionaire.

I love the blue.
4 of the rooms in my wee house are different shades of blue.

Sorry I missed your mortgage free post - congratulations you are truly an inspirational woman!
I hope you will be hanging around as I am hoping to be back on here in a few months with a mortgage to crush. x
