Happy May Day, everybody! Today is a bank holiday in the UK, so instead of being hard at work, I'm sitting at home, waiting for Rob to get ready to go to the cafe. Macaroni cheese and chips for lunch (followed by a run later this afternoon)! Some May Day flowers for you:
I love this combination of colours in a bouquet -- all the different shades and hues of green paired with some punchy orange/red flowers. They look very nice in our new green bedroom:
That took most of Saturday, but I think it's a definite improvement. The walls were white before, but not even a good white -- it was tinged with green, and the paint job was awful. The cutting in along the ceiling was streaky, and they didn't bother to take the blinds down or remove the heater from the wall. You can't really tell in the photo above, but I was very careful to tape along every edge and then removed that tape even more carefully. The rest of the flat (mostly) has been painted ivory (by me), so it's nice to have some real, deep colour in one of the rooms.
Pity we may be moving soon.
I think the room looks fantastic, what a great color. I am sure it had an equally great name, I always love how paint names match the colors so well. The flowers really go well.
