Hey everyone! Good to hear from you all again. We have 2 wks before we go back to school. It's been a busy summer but good. My boy (14) is in marching band and they've been practicing all summer for the fall football games. He is worn out. My girl has been playing with friends and is doing a bit of a room redo herself (she is 10). Nice to see you all are well. We took a weekend a bit ago to Chincoteague VA and it was great! Hopping over to visit the corridor thread now.

Hey guys! I've not been on in ages with work being manic etc! but got teased back by the music chat notifications 😂 I love a really varied mix. In the last couple of months I created a playlist that is now over 13 hours long, but focused on music that I either like to dance around to like a loon, sing along to or good to drum on the steering wheel to after a rubbish day at work.. It's definitely put a smile on my face - Love how music can change your emotions so fantastically and put a smile on your face. How is everyone?

Here are some images of Vardo next to a window with a mini garden. The property is very different from yours so might not do the job in terms of convincing him... but it is a good example of combining light and rich colours to keep it from being overwhelming. The key here is that if you combine a bolder colour with a neutral, make sure the neutral has a compatible undertone to it - i.e. a light grey with a hint of pink will usually sit uncomfortably next to a teal wall. Shown here is Strong White as a neutral. Also - on the 'colour makes a room smaller' issue - we've written briefly about why that isn't always true in this post on decorating with white (see the white lies paragraph); https://absoluteprojectmanagement.com/50-shades-of-white/
