This is a pretty quick post as I am about to send the link out and I want it to look like I have been here recently - which I have - story for later but I tried to stay away from the computer a bit in my first set of non working days.
But we did progress with the decorating! The photo with the new carpet is slightly bluer than it actually is and the photo with the paint chips is a bit washed out but you can get the idea.
Nick wanted to get a colour consultant involved for some advice on making everything work together. She came over to see me on Friday morning and I was able to borrow a sample of the new carpet for her to look at (so got the photo). The paint chips are on a curtain sample that is very close to the carpet tones. At the moment - the colour at the top of the group is Resene's Spicy Pink which is Ana's choice for her room, the hallways and probaly the office/spare room will be Merino (the light chip at the bottom, the big lounge and entry way will be Resene Nautilus (the chip to the right of the deep red) the TV room will go a shade or two deeper to Chilli Red (the paint chip is actually paprika) Then Jon is going for a Duluk colour (I think it is Benmore or the shade above). We are tossing up doing the walls behind the kitchen cupboards a deep toning teal (which is the other paint chip) Although the decorator is suggesting we do it as a feature wallpaper wall which Nick is a bit allergic too!
Toby's room will also have a feature wall - to be decided.
It has been great having a sounding board for the colours and having the time Friday and Monday to get quotes and check out samples and colours.
