An in-between phase

We,ve just had our driveway done and that was stressful enough only took 3 weeks, so I am in awe with what you are having to put up with.

Thanks @doingitanyway I chose pinkish terracotta as it's supposedly very good for restful sleep

Apparently it replicates the interior of the maternal womb, though this raises questions such as what if either of you had a horrible pregnancy, does one really remember, and wouldn't you have been bored stiff and thus associate it with being less restful, after staring at nothing but uterine wall for the whole last trimester.

I personally think it's really good for sleep because the tone absorbs and reflects different seasons light well, but from my experience it is really good for restful sleep

Aw thank you @amber03 we are skint nervous wrecks and now we don't even have a restful coloured bedroom to look forward to 😂

Think we're going to have to pay extra to cover the yellow, the spare room can cope even though we'll have to spend extra on interiors making it look like we intended it to be twee in East London, but it's not going to be acceptable in our bedroom. If we had more light and space it might be okay albeit not what we wanted, but it currently looks like the colour put on walls to 'not over-excite the patient'

I would suggest sulking room pink by f and b if you can stretch to it. I have the small tin and the coverage is great

Or get a paint shop to mix this colour without F & B price tag 😉

Honestly I do think it's worth the money but I appreciate it's not a priority for everyone. That being said, I still bought it with a gift card from topcashback

I cannot think what may have brought to mind 'sulking' @WelshmansDaughter 😂

I am feeling a bit unsettled by it though tbh, sad and exhausted that nothing can ever seem to go right with this build, not even having colours we like on our walls.

Still, no bad vibes on a Sunday. We will simply have to order more paint and tiles and apologise to the builder for his wasted work and pay extra if needed, and hope budget works out. I know this is not mse but I feel like we're allowed to have colours we like in our home.

We should sensibly do that, and get testers etc @Baileys_Babe, but it is just not practical for us to go to the site to play with interiors as often as we'd need to or on a schedule that fits with all the build work. Granted, that has resulted in this situation but we can't be in several places at once, especially on a daily basis. We'll hope the new paint does the job and if not we'll have to just style it out. Or move 😂

The French name (boudoir) is somewhat more appealing.

Well done for sending the interest rate complaint. I suspect that took a number of rewrites to get it back down to calm, formal language … 😉

Sending vibes ~~~~~~ for the £2K competition!
