A Splash of Colour

amidst hues reminiscent

of summer days and meadow flowers

inspiration blooms

Until last week the walls of our home were an unobtrusive off-white – as has tended to be the fashion in the UK for the past few decades. As you can probably tell from the pictures, this is no longer so. When my sister first suggested that we paint the walls of our living room bright blue, I have to admit that I was somewhat sceptical, but the change is astonishing. The room is so much more inviting, now, and the addition of colour suits our personalities much better. Not to mention it works very well with our collection of strange knick-knacks – several of which you might recognise from my Monochrome Monday posts. It’s just fortunate that we both had days of holiday owing to us – though I hadn’t planned to spend my time off from work re-decorating!
