I am sure Jos is tired and that plaster job does not look like fun.

I like the idea of the older colored paints based on the past historical shades. I will have to check out the chalk paints they sound interesting. What a good choice of colors, and it's making the room look so different. You never really know about the color until you get it on the wall. I'm always nervous about the colors I pick. Not much confidence I guess :)Andylynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634072460146378411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-24666797395666415822008-02-11T12:01:00.000-08:002008-02-11T12:01:00.000-08:00idi,What an exciting time.

No problem! I had LOTS of time. Well, the moulding wouldn't go up as easily as we'd hoped. We fussed and cut, re-cut and fussed again. Finally, we finished it but I ran out of time to paint. Today I have errands to do so tomorrow I have booked the whole day to paint.<BR/><BR/>I love the colour you've chosen, Heidi! It will be so pretty when you're finished. I don't envy you having to put away all those books. Take some rest and tell Jos to do the same.<BR/><BR/>~ hugs, Lynda xoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-64678100734325333812008-02-11T06:07:00.000-08:002008-02-11T06:07:00.000-08:00Oh this came out great!

I realize that the trend lately has been to use lighter colours, but there is certainly something to be said for the the richer, darker colours too. Nothing beats them for their sense of warmth. <BR/><BR/>Thank you ever so much for all your lovely comments, Heidi! I really should give you the "You make my day"-award every time! <BR/><BR/>I have not started sowing seeds yet. I did start early last year, with mixed results, so I will wait a while before doing so. And even then I will just concentrate on tomatoes and sweet peas (the rest will be sown directly on the ground in May).Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511372208366707895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-32776058813212021512008-02-10T12:13:00.000-08:002008-02-10T12:13:00.000-08:00Oh Heidi that looks after much work out.But I thin...Oh Heidi that looks after much work out.But I think it sees after the<BR/>renovation charming out.I like english colors but self I have none.<BR/>We are also at renovate and paint all<BR/>wood beam white.Where our oven and our books corner is I would like the<BR/>wall also in old red english colors<BR/>painting.I think is a perfect color.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>ReginaReginas Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263131368566323993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-74203262173767840042008-02-10T08:26:00.001-08:002008-02-10T08:26:00.001-08:00Hi Heidi,I love the look of the deep rich colors. ...Hi Heidi,<BR/><BR/>I love the look of the deep rich colors. I think it's going to be lovely and can't wait to see your finished pics. I once paid painters to paint our master bedroom a color that I thought was right...only to turn around and re-paint it myself because the color was too "blue green" instead of sagey like I wanted.
