Your quilt is beautiful. There are so many colours in it that you really have an infinite choice. However if the room is north facing and small please don't go for a grey colour. This will only darken and close in your room. Also your carpet looks a greyish colour on my monitor so you don't want to overdo it. I also think a blue could be icy in a north facing room. If it was my room i would go a neutral warm colour on the wall and bring your chosen colour out with accessories in the room. Good luck with your project

I love your back splash! I'm looking for something similar but maybe in an aubergine. I live in Limerick. Where did you get yours?

This is amazing! I love it! I lied in a tiny studio apartment for awhile and it was a disaster! The use of space here is fantastic and so crucial in a small space. This is somewhere I could live! The decor is fabulous!

There are some great images here. I have a 4 bedroom house, all decent sized bedrooms but had never really considered that my kids would share a bedroom in the future but I love the look of the built in bunk beds. I really enjoyed sharing a room growing up so why not do it. It's a great way to encourage sharing and tolerance and creates a special closeness between siblings too. I don't think it's a coincident that my best friend is the sister I shared with, despite our 7 year age gap! I also loved the girls dorm style room for 4!

I'm sorry stiletto but that is OTT! I have patterned granite counter tops and have zero trouble keeping them clean. The surface is so smooth that left over crumbs are easily discernible.


Show and Tell...and Clean: Solid vs. Patterned Kitchen Countertops

I love marble. I have a marble floor in my hall and bathroom with marble vanity tops. However I have granite in my kitchen! The floors are wearing well but the vanity top, not so well. I have a messy husband and toothpaste drips are driving me crazy! I leave a cloth permanently by the sink but I can still see the stains. For this reason I would not recommend it for a kitchen. The granite is wearing much much better. Also do consider that marble does require maintenance no mater what the sales people tell you. It will scratch and will need to be polished and sealed eery couple of years to keep it looking its best. It is porous so stains wont always be removed by this process and be very careful what you wash it with. Get expert advise. Happy renovating!
