It's A Red Letter Day...

Hi folks...you're probably fed up and sick to the teeth of my daily DIY news announcements but if you can bear with me for just a little bit longer....I'm definitely sprinting down the home straight now...making a dash for the finishing line and this is one big red letter day...the painting in my little chill out haven...aka the family room is done...furniture back in place and curtains hung...another room bites the dust and although it meant another day of hopping up and down the step ladder and repeating the laborious cutting in...I know I made the right decision about the change of colour...love it...love it...love it...

But...you know me there's always a BUT...I've fallen out of love with the dark cosy look winter curtains...all those years of watching DIY make-over shows taught me that a change of "not going to break the bank" accents can create a whole new look and it definitely needs something to gee it up a little bit but do I stick with the RED and go for a lighter contemporary look...I do love these Marks & Sparks cushions...
or change tack completely and go for this...
they do say the devil is in the detail and going by past experiences...no doubt there will be much pondering before that devil of a decision is made but with the grandkiddies arriving this morning that particular task is on hold until Friday when I'll be calling in the cavalry...the perfect retail therapy outing for the  "shop 'til you drop" Friday Girls aka the "guaranteed to blow the budget" team.
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx
