I, myself, ruled out the rules a long time ago, probably when I was about seven or eight, when my mother insisted that I put my bed back against the wall, after I had pushed it to the centre of the my bedroom, AND on an angle. The horror! <br /><br />I've always thought that all those decorating magazines need to dictate design definitions so that WE always need to rush out and BUY the new paint colour or fabric or piece of furniture to support their advertisers! Now THAT, is a horror!<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-40761553381085261842014-01-23T06:11:13.253-05:002014-01-23T06:11:13.253-05:00THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I think a small space looks dreamy and romantic in a dark color, it encloses you and makes you feel enveloped, and it makes the space more intimate. I say go for it. You are absolutely right - you live there - do what you want. So many people are trying to impress someone and maybe you want to stick to the rules if that is what you are after, but I don't think that is what you are after.

Speaking from what wisdom I'm not sure, but a friend once informed me that those flowered pillows don't go with the plaid ones, like she was some kind of expert and her opinion mattered in my home. I smiled and didn't say a word. <br /><br />The only thing to remember when painting a room a dark color is that it sucks up light - as in 100 watt light bulbs don't make a dent in the darkness! <br /><br />@Butterfly 8)(8 Bungalow, I love the idea of painting the ceiling, just haven't gotten brave enough to do it yet. But, as you say, it can always be repainted!

I love the bathroom color you chose! Thanks for stopping by today and I'm pretty much a basic knitter too and I like to switch on and off with crochet and knitting. My mom taught me a while ago and I took one course on the basic stitches and increase and decrease. On YouTube they have a lot of little videos that you can watch which might be helpful. Thanks for being supportive of my makeup series too and for all you visits.
