grandpa in my pocket house

[mollythewitch]

Ok, so I am sad but I love the colour scheme. The living room is a lovely light blue which manages not to be chilly, with the woodwork in a beautiful heavy cream. Any ideas for similar shades. Dulux colour match via iplayer, anyone?

Find out the makers of the programme and email/ask them?

I know the clothes are from Joules but they do have a facebook page and their own website with a contact email so maybe try both of those places?

Same here! it's just gorgeous I'm sure it's what keeps us going to southwold every year for the past 6 years and I just love the joules there too

The exterior of the house is actually in Aldburgh, and is a holiday cottage that we rented a few years ago! The inside I think might be a set.

But the town is deffo Southwold!

where in aldeburgh? set or not I love the interior x

It's towards the north end, near the old town hall, and opposite the beach.

Here!

The blue looks very much like Dulux Mineral Mist. I used to have it in my old house.

Our DCs's bedroom is Craig & Rose Morris Blue and looks veeery similar...lovely colour it is :)

Thanks herbaceous that's our next stay sorted lol

Thanks everyone, will hunt out their contact details. I suspect it may be having either a seaside house flooded with sunshine, or a set with bright filming lights may help. All the light blues I've tried so far look a bit frosty. Maybe doesn't translate well to a dark Victorian terrace.

Morris Blue has quite a lot of green in it iyswim and isn't cold at all. I had done about a million squares trying to get a colour that worked in our poky little 1930s back bedroom in the industrial North :) definitely worth a swatch if you pass a B&Q.

That sounds fab Alan, will have to give it a go. Just need to hunt for the perfect cream now!

Ooh, not just me then! Good luck with contacting the programme makers OP, I did that 2 years ago when I moved into new house, never heard a word sadly. Please come back and update thread if they do respond!

I reckon if I got arc lights in our back room it'd look same!

Ooh, we call that programme grandpa in mums ideal kitchen. Love the colours.

I love the colour too and as we have cream Kitchen cupboards I am hoping to be able to create a similar look!! Will try the colours suggested on here! Am so pleased I am not the only one! I recorded an episode the other day so I could show my Husband. He thought I was slightly mad but luckily agreed that it was a good look:)

that program was what inspired me to paint our downstairs lounge/kitchen diner in blue
also this room
We ended up using littlegreene co paint in starlings nest which is a pale duck egg colour.
I treid loads and loads of different paint shades and most had too much grey in them and looked too dark in the room.

Sorry but you will never replicate the colour unless you have professional studio lights in your home. The lighting drastically changes the colours for better or worse.

@mollythewitch
Sorry for zombie thread!
Did you find your colours?
I had a bedroom in old Dulux blueberry frost ( now discontinued) which came up just like Grandpa's house.
Recently painted a very dark cold bedroom in F&B borrowed light, and got a fabulous effect again!
Now I am going to do a new living room in the 'grandpa style again.
