Have you seen our bedroom? (I know you've seen the living room but can't remember if you got the tour...). We have one wall approx that sort of red, & the rest off-white (Roman White, iirc), with wood floors, & it looks lovely. (lots of the rooms have that - the living-room is two greens, the kitchen has pale blue with a red stripe, & my room has light purple with one very dark purple). I think all the walls either of the dark colours would be a Bit Much, but having one wall can be really nice.

http://the.earth.li/~juliet/house.html has some photos from the painting, although nothing of the fully finished & furnished rooms (oops, must get those up...)

Yeah, I think I got a glimpse of it and thought it looked cool. Generally, though, the colours of your flat rock. Is that the bedroom wall you're standing against in the icon?

Yes, that's the one.

My parents were v uncertain about the lots-of-colours thing when we were planning it (they implied it might bring the value of the house down; I said that if we ever wanted to sell up we'd repaint, & anyway it was OUR HOUSE so there), but really liked it once it was all done. It was *lovely* to be able to splash paint around in lots of lovely colours after living in student/rented accommodation with neutral-coloured walls for ages.
