Pink..

*Gasp!!*

I painted a feature wall of foxy pink in my kitchen hehe... I am not a fan of pink, but the idea was possessing me and it had to be done.  It isn't finished yet, because i'm going for a boutique feel.  I'm on the hunt for black wallpaper with white polka dots for the other walls and white gloss tiles for the floor.  I also want to use crystal design handles for my cupboard doors.  Now i get to re-accessorize.  It's so different to the rest of the house, but i love it.





Here are some updated photos of Madisyn's 'Dora' bedroom.  The pictures don't show it's true prettiness though :-(




And finally, i'm really proud of myself because i recently handed in my first assignment for my counselling coursework, and passed with an A.  Sadly though i left it a while and now have 6 weeks to finish the other 3 assignments.  I'm going to be very busy for the next month.

I'm good thanks hun!

Wow, I love the pink! There's some fabric/wallpaper, not sure who designs it but it's bright pink like that with a black boutique pattern on. It's on a blog I was on the other day, I'll try and remember and get back to you! I think you're right to revamp the kitchen, the kitchens they put in those new builds can be so generic so it's nice to make it unique! You have done a brilliant job!

Hi Lea, Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment. I love your kitchen, the pink is fab. And your daughters room is very girly and cute. Im coming bargain hunting with you, the little table is so gorgeous, I can never find anything like that. And did I spot Laura Ashley wallpaper? I love LA nearly as much as I love cake, and my god do I love cakes!! LOL! Toodle Pip, I will stop by again. Mandy

Glad you like the hearts - If you decide you'd like a cushion, I can make it in pretty much any fabric you like to match your decor :)

Your little girls room looks gorgeous - I especially love the white bed, just recently got a white metal framed junior bed for my little boy (though his room has more of a Pooh bear theme!)

I look forward to seeing more of your blogs!

A friend of mine has her kitchen in that colour and it looks great (as does yours)! She has a black and white tiled floor and creamy white units.

Reminds me I must give her a call!
