Ok fellow ditherers, as we have filled up one thread (and still not made too many firm decisions) here's another one for us to continue to procrastinate and worry on.

Here's to more monitoring of relative green and redness, mutual support and occassional chivving, discussion of everything baby or not baby related, and perhaps even our first BFP...?

Ad break.

A chandelier in the bathroom is exactly what I was planning on!

Shame the horses wallpaper isn't on the website for Farrow and Ball. We want to have that - but limited to half the wall with white panelling on the other half - with the seperate shower and bath with feet. I like the idea, as the majority of it will be black and white, of having a colourful chandelier.

I also LOVE glass spashbacks rather than tiles but that's unfortunately too expensive (at least £800-900 from what I can gather.)

here is the glass alternative- perspex sheet prices- check the tabulator at the bottom.
all you would have to do is paste wallpaper, tthen drill perspex on top.
3mm think clear perspex, 3050 mm x 2030 mm, gloss finish looks like £155.22.
the only thing i'm thinking is the perspex would have to be fitted on nicely to avoid a space for mould to grow. hence probably better not to use contoured wallpaper which could potentially leave a small space between the paper and the perspex.

Hmm, that could work well actually.

SeaGreen · 10/05/2010 22:49

love the look of this bedroom here and this.

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 22:53

I am all for things that are easy to care for, especially in places where the dog goes! We need to be able to measure up in the kitchen to get an idea of what to put where but have been compiling some pics of styles we like. I also am keen on the idea of making a blind, stripy of course, for the window.

And I LOVE Belfast sinks!

My god I want to move! Come on you buyers!!

SeaGreen · 10/05/2010 22:54

and the lovely colour combination here. not a fan of blue walls though generally but somehow the yellow punches it with warmth.

SeaGreen · 10/05/2010 22:57

oh my god i could spend HOURS on the stripes on Collection&productid=Kilo Collection this site!
in stripe heaven right now!

SeaGreen · 10/05/2010 22:58

eek i meant this. thats what comes of posting without previewing.

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 22:59

Is that panelling on the wall in that pic? I am not sure what DH would say, but I quite like it.

I have to say though, I cannot bear scatter cushions! They look good when the bed is made but then they end up on the floor or in the way or both!

Love some of the Toast interiors things. The bedding especially. We got most of ours from Ikea and it's okay but it would be wonderful to have some 'posh' stuff!

Will try find some examples but may be back empty handed as laptop is being a bit too slow for my lack of patience...

SeaGreen · 10/05/2010 23:03

tk maxx great for posh bedding on budget i find. not always guaranteed that you'll find something but that's the fun of it

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 23:03

Love all of this but the muted candy bedlinen.

And I am LOVING those stripes!

Hmmm, may need to curb the stripe lust so I don't end up with headache inducing decor!

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 23:05

My friend swears by TK Maxx. Never looked for home stuff in there, just loitered by the shoes and then got flummoxed at the rails and rails of jumbled up clothes.

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 23:07

Not neccessarily this one but that kind of feel I like for beds. I like them to feel both clean and cozy (not always easy with the cats sleeping on our pillow's or wriggling into it!)

SeaGreen · 10/05/2010 23:08

tk maxx is my happy hunting ground! never know what amazing stuff one can find the next moment!

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 23:14

That's just what she says, but I am not too keen. The one here is super grotty and busy though which obviously doesn't help.

Can I ask, is your house / flat very stylish?!

SeaGreen · 10/05/2010 23:15

it's very silly but this or red and white pinstripes would be my favorite bed linen of all time!!

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 23:15

Shit, I think I'm going to be too late but hopefully she'll havce a check in the morning.

So, GOOD LUKC TOMORROW LST! Hope it goes really well and you sail through!

confuseddoiordonti · 10/05/2010 23:19

Not sure you'd be able to get it in a double though!

LeviStubbsTears · 11/05/2010 07:33

I'm here! Mumsnet before all... Thank you v. much for the lukc, confused! Feeling pretty ropey this morning after another bad night of cramping so not hugely optimistic, but I think I must have done enough work not to fail, unless I have a complete meltdown.

Right, better get in the car. Aargh.

HoneyPetal · 11/05/2010 07:44

GOOD LUKC, LST!!

SeaGreen · 11/05/2010 10:46

GOOD LUCK LST!!!
fingers crossed for you.

SeaGreen · 11/05/2010 10:49

confused - super stylish? not at all. hard to be too stylish with a big dog (would rather go for cosy style than high style any day). but it's a home-y place.

SeaGreen · 11/05/2010 11:23

re bathroom- i liked this one
a desk nook idea here and what a lovely colour too! chandelier makeover here

HoneyPetal · 11/05/2010 11:33

I had such a crazy dream last night - I dreamt that I was hunting for a stick to pee on, and my sister and I were trying loads of different garages to buy one (!). When I finally found a stick I trusted, I peed on it and it was positive, but to interpret the data I had to insert it into a very scientific looking stick-reader!

I think Im spending too much time on MN......

SeaGreen · 11/05/2010 12:14

haha
