We built this place 2 years ago, and because the builder charged more to paint the house if you wanted coloured walls *gasp*, we went for a sort of pottery colour all the way through as we knew we’d change it.

I look at sites like Lori’s and wish I was the creative decorating type, instead of the “oh I dunno, does that look OK I really have no clue” type. I want to have more money to spend on things. Things that make your place your own. Stuff I like. Nice objects on my walls, vases, shelves for interesting bits and pieces…though I wonder, when you have all that stuff, how do you dust it all and prevent it from eventually turning into what looks like a mound of dust on your shelf? Especially when you loathe housework with a passion.

Still, having tackled the two teenage boys rooms (ones blue and ones an awesome sea blue, aqua colour), and the lounge room (dark moss green)I want to do our bedroom, because it’s bland and awful. Old doona cover, boring walls, totally insipid. I want a beautiful bedroom. Somewhere that looks relaxing and peaceful. Somewhere conducive to sleep. Somewhere that’s not too girly that it frightens the husband off to the spare room where the vacuum cleaner lives. Why the vacuum cleaner is relevant, I have NO idea…
