popsy if you go into DULUX. I have linked the mouse painter page. You can play around with EVERY dulux colour in a chosen online room.

my whol ouse is cream or white
I am an expert in shades of them!

Ivory lace worth checking our too, a pale stone cream colour.

Ivory cream is a greener cream

well we bought Oxford Blue for the front door today (and primer thrilling stuff)
And some natural straw kitchen one to tart up our flat as its on market ATM
If only I can teach DH to use dust sheet, am forever regretting asking him to paint as I am picking paint out of carpet for days afterwards.
He should stick to power tools....

popsycal · 04/04/2004 20:21

coddy - mine is too.....will check out iviry lace too,,,,want a stoney cream
that is exactly what i want!

TheCODfather · 04/04/2004 20:23

yes, I wnated it t o match the backgorun don some blinds for our room

everyone comments on how nice it is.(well they lie convincingly)

wicker in conservatory so seems light but may be dark in a north facing room

popsycal · 04/04/2004 20:25

it is for our north facing hall and very dull stairs and landing - very little natural light
might have to go for ivory lace then

i love sandstone but too dark for this dark dark house!

TheCODfather · 04/04/2004 20:27

yes our bedroom i s north facing so lace would be perfect I think. white ceiling.

popsycal · 04/04/2004 20:28

wahey!
might have this sorted then!!

between all of you, i might get decorated yet!
thanks folks!
