POLL: What's your favourite home scent?
Comments (74)Bread, bread...! I can't think of anything more homely...! I still hand-keand my sourdough bread and when I bake it I feel there is nothing more delightful in life than my kitchen with my bread and the vision of my family eating it over next few days....See MoreWhats your Favorite Colour?
Comments (13)Hello Daman, Trying to answer your question and also give a thought to what others have written.. Well it does have to be said that along with colour there is also a certain aesthetic involved and personal preference.. So one could argue "What is a correct setting" One red is not the same as another and the same reasoning applies to any colour.. . There is also depth and finish.. There's light and function to consider.. There is also the idea of universal appeal.. or daring to be different.. Then there is fashion "Interiors" if you care about that sort of thing.. The architecture and the furnishings that are pared with colour. What other colour is it going with? Colour in itself is not a soloist! Someone may be a fan of flamingo orange but it may not sit right on the front door of a stone house in the Cotswolds... It may though, sit on a wall of a florida beach house with palm trees.. so it's how to apply that colour you might love.. Clashing colours can work for some but not for others.. It's a hard one to just say "I love charcoal".. .. I am not sure I could just pick 1 colour I love.. It has to start with where it's going.. It's also about what we might be liking.. we evolve and become bolder with colour as we have more experience.. I personally love for at home, chalky characterful deep colours for period homes even with a really modern setting or furnishings..... Charcoals, deep purples and burnt oranges along with copper or gold tones.. Navy blue walls, woodwork and gold tones but I'm versatile and extremely picky.. .. I also want to see something different... I want to be inspired... So my favourite would be that which inspires, that which has a chameleon ability to look good in a number of different settings... Ultimately that I think it's beautiful and that is harder than it might seem! : ))...See MoreWhat's your favorite room in your house?
Comments (5)Bedroom - ours is as much a sitting room as the sitting room is. Our room on ground floor opposite kitchen. OH has been oncology patient for a number of years + so often rests in bed from early evening, watching TV, sorting out soccer fixtures, surfing the web for men's stuff (screw-drivers, power tools, sports results) + Lord alone knows what other chatting + texting. The kids got used to keeping him company especially the boys watching soccer with him. So kinda fell into a habit of all gathering in our room. New BIL felt very awkward first time he visited one afternoon. Sister marched straight into our bedroom + sat on the bed + joined us whilst her man hovered at the bedroom doorway very unsure about crossing the threshold into our room. After 5 mins of having to raise our voice to speak to him he was told to either get into the room or go back + sit in the car! He tentatively joined us after a few of our younger + adult kids wandered in + sat down. One of the best evenings was a late night boxing match we were geared up for. OH had been resting in bed for most of day but was awake + waiting for match, so all 9 of us ended up in the room - 7 in/on bed + 2 perched on chairs, with fizzles + popcorn. After all the pomp and drama in the lead up to the start of the first round ... Great roaring and shouting from us - Gwan my son + dirty move + what's the ref doing ... Ding Ding - end of Round 1! Looked at the OH - sound asleep amongst the mayhem!!!!...See MoreYour home vs. your childhood home?
Comments (21)We lived in a 3 bed semi until I was 11. Half of it faced due north, so there was a room we never ever used. Then we moved to a 4 bed, which we needed, as there were 6 kids. I absolutely loved the second house. It didn't face any direction fully, so it got sun in most rooms at some stage. It was on a turning circle in a cul de sac, so it looked really small from the front, but had an irregularly shaped extension at the side that was completely soundproof.( My brothers could play their music really loudly and noone ever complained). This opened out into a huge garden, which my mother made absolutely beautiful. My parents built two patios in it together and my mother built her own flower bed, using dry stone walling techniques. My parents had lots of midcentury furniture, some of which was made by my father from a book on Swedish design. You could buy the orange sofa he made now! There was a little gazebo in the garden which turned out to be a monk's cell, the last part of the abbey that had been there. A tree in our garden was pruned by a man who happened to have come there as an apprentice tree surgeon, and he was able to tell us that it had had a bench all the way around the inside. It fell down during Hurricane Charlie, as the front wall was leaning, but my father rebuilt it over the course of 9 years. My mother's style is way ahead of her time; their bedroom has been duckegg blue and brown for about 20 years!...See MoreVelvet Ninja
