And again, my friends

I’ve been busy for the past week or so working on bedroom two which I expect to finish completely tomorrow. I’ve fitted the laminate floor and plinth, the Ikea ‘dressing’ as it’s called here, the ceiling coving that was left still to do and today I finished painting the walls. Here’s where I got to this evening.

I’ve wanted to use colours throughout the house that are warm, bright and modern and also reflect the area in which I live. I’ve never ever previously used colours as bright as in the two bedrooms I’ve painted so far, and I’d never have used them if I’d stayed in the UK, but here they seem to work perfectly. What do you think? Have I gone right over the top this time?

In fact I can’t get a shot that properly shows the correct colour. Due to the limitations of my phone camera it appears to be a rich golden yellow in the first two images, but it’s not. The final image above was taken with my Nikon Coolpix and still isn’t quite right, on my computer screen anyway, but is the closest I’ve managed so far, which is actually a warm, rich, peachy orange.

I love it. What do you think?

BTW, the light patch in the third image was the light from the low sun streaming through the window and the bars that show in all of my bedroom images with artificial lighting are due to mains frequency strobing of the LED spots that the phone camera is supposed to cut out but doesn’t.
