Flowers Today

Redecorating.

Well, at long last the redecoration of the whole house has finished.We have lived here since 2001 and this is the second time it has been done from top to bottom. Possibly the last too as we are running out of energy !

i will post photos soon but just wanted to show you the picture I have just finished to compliment the room which is predominantly teal blue with chocolate ( coloured, not the real thing ) accents. The curtains and the bed head.

Right here is the feature wall paper behind the bed -

And here is the picture

(The colour and flower bottom left were to show on another website.)

I have also made a collage of my photos and have changed their colour to blend in. This is a black frame with 8 photos – 6x4.

blue flowers

This is not the real frame but a digital mock up to test it out.

Just thought that you might like to see some of the original photos close up.
