    Oh what was the book - if it's not a rude question? I love books, and have kept some I had when I was a child. x

    I know what you mean beanie, I have painted my front door a teal that was too blue, then tried some "azure" paint on it that was too green - maybe I need to mix them! I was aiming for a sort of turquoise :neutral: It's hard to get the right shade :neutral:

    I am having my sitting room done tomorrow & just going for the same colour.  
    Definitely want a change for the hall though.
