You are very kind and I'm so glad to help. That looks like the graham and brown, Desire wallpaper we collaborated on! It is stunning!! Side wall color supports it perfectly and it all looks great with your furniture. Your tastes always seem to fall on the cool and modern side of updated traditional. In the states, we call that transitional. An extension of that concept is what I call classic modern. I think you should continue the room in that vain so choose a modern/contemporary rug. I love Persian and traditional rugs, but these don't fit your decor. One thing that I have really enjoyed about working with you has been the excuse to see what's available across the pond. Found this UK online rug supplier with some great examples. Large pattern in mostly open background. Colors very harmonious. http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/bargains/aspire-danube-cream-pink.html Deep colors ground the space yet relate to overall scheme. Has some red. Again, large pattern. I think a large pattern goes best with the scale do the damask. Also, I wouldn't go with anything more "floral" than this. A busy modern floral may compete with the damask. http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/bargains/trance-anasia-owred-mulberry-red.html Not sure how much I like this one, but I like it enough to suggest it. It's another example of large scale floral but in serious reds. (You asked about red, and I think I definitely has a place either dominately or as accent.) http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/bargains/trance-mia-red.html Tone on tone abstract makes a perfect complement to the room. This silver color ties in everything in the room and allows the wallpaper to remain the focus. http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/contemporary/a-hedley-silver.html One color, cream. But the carved detail is interesting and modern http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/contemporary/elements-el-20-cream.html The white on purple is bold and graphic. And this Pattern and repeat really speaks to your wallpaper. http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/contemporary/harlequin-milano-ha10-044-purple-3.html Also in a beige color they call fawn. http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/contemporary/harlequin-milano-ha10-046-fawn-3.html Purple and gray abstract. It's funky design would be an interesting contradiction to the wallpaper. http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/contemporary/matrix-wave-ma09-946-purple-4.html Cowhide patchwork in ivory, sand, gold and gray. It's the ultimate in contradiction, yet works in an eclectic manner. http://www.rugsdirect2u.co.uk/contemporary/rodeo-metallic-ivory-2.html I hope some of these appeal to you and give you inspiration! Let me know what you think.

I must have tried every grey shade as samples in the past few weeks as I want a very light grey. Farrow & Ball do a nice mid grey called Plummet. Dulux mix lab also do some nice ones & can be mixed in a flat matt. I am having a pale grey bedroom with a white bed & probably black side tables. I love silver with grey too but copper is also nice. You can also paint it again if you don't like the shade (that is what I am telling myself !).

Well, the chippies van was up the drive when I got home from work - a little unexpected. At first I thought that he was sleeping with the Mrs, but then I remembered that he needed to finish the skirting boards. He's done a cracking job - quite a few tricky internal/external corners, plus the corners not being exactly 90 degrees he was back and forth to his saw all the time. He really did a stirling job. It was 13 meters of skirting in total - which took him 4.5 hours in total (over 2 evenings) and it cost me £90. Considering I was origionally going to do it, it could well be the best £90 I've spent on this whole kitchen. I need to get a lick of paint inside the alcove that's pictured. Our little fishtank will be returning in there, but as it's out I may as well do it. When we get the bar stools, and dining room table & chairs I will update again. So: What would I change/add/remove ADD - Somewhere to hang the tea-towels. We have some on the inside of a cuboard, but they keep falling off. Maybe I need some slightly more expensive 'hangers'. The space where they could have gone we put a spice rack/draw thingie - that's probably better though. ADD - We forgot about the bin! Now we have our pedal-bin basically kicking around the kitchen. The Mrs has already filled the cupboards to maximum capacity so I'm having trouble getting an internal cupboard one past her. I think I may just fit one then deal with her later. The bin has gravitated to a semi-perminant place, but with the kids trying to be *cough* helpfull the wall is already beginning to get the odd splatter of 'stuff' where they just throw their food in the general direction of it. Last night I said 'Well, why don't we just put it in the utility room' - She shot that idea down instantly as she obviously isn't happy about the extra 4 steps that it would take to walk all-that-way into another room. Poor thing! Typical woman lol. ADD - At the start of the project I would have got the electricians to chase in another mains wire from the fusebox so that it comes out of the kitchen wall centrally to the back garden, then I would put a PIR Security Light in. I know that it's not a big job by any means, and I could, and probably will, do it myself over the coming weeks but if I could have had it without a wire on the outside of the house then that'd would have been perfect. Also, thinking about it, I would have actually got him to do it at the front of the house as well as he re-wired the whole downstairs with new fusebox etc.
