Thanks for the suggestions Ann. I tried a sample of Oyster Linen on the walls and it looks really nice. So it's now the front runner.

Bumpity bump.
Anyone???

Thanks 4walls. Glad to know both go with GP.

Hi all
Well the painters are coming next week and I have all the colours ready to go except for the rumpus room, which will have one wall painted in…

Okay, natual white for the ceiling is out and full gloss for the trims is in. Thanks guys.
Just to confuse myself even…
