Everything, bar DD's room, is magnolia at the moment. Moved her, when brand new, 4 months ago. Will be painting hall and lobby, bathrooms and kitchen white before this summer.

DD's bedroom is pink.

Nutcracker,
We have kitchen/dinning room same as yours.
We painted kitchen a sort of mushroom colour.So the continuous wall that comes all the way through into the dinning room,is that colour,as are two other walls in dinning room, but we painted the firebreast wall dark red.You could do this with any combination of lighter and darker colours.

Enif · 22/02/2006 15:32

Have a shuft Here for ideas, you can even paint a virtual room, to get an idea of how colours would go together. If you order sample cards you get a discount voucher (a couple of quid) off the paint if you buy it.
