To paint or not to paint?
Guys! Look what I got on Freecycle! So you know that trendy thing of painting halfway up doors to match the colours above and below dado rails? Completely ignoring the door panel placement? My kitchen is black at the bottom and pink at the top. What do you think about painting the cupboard similarly? Or is that sacrilege? I think it probably is.

hace 3 añosWe are drawn to the top one. With the leafy one second. The lemurs were a bit disappointing. The drawing is a bit rough and ready. Plus the sample doesnt include a whole lemur.

(3) comentariosHi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout.

hace 3 añosHiya. Thanks all for your advice. We've narrowed it down, which included adding one. The new one is a version of the original 'bottom left' design, with a gold background instead of black. It's been pointed out to me that the middle one includes diagonals which echo the cupboard's glazing bars, and squared/stepped lines which match the pattern on the bottom doors. I still like the bohemian flowers ( top), but think it's less impressive seen on a whole wall, somehow.
What do people think? If you're still rooting for one of the others feel free to trash the final three!

hace 3 añosWell. To distract myself while we decide, I decided to finish the 'black at the bottom' paint job, on the third wall. The one with the the fridge and under stairs slide-out drawer/cupboard/shelves.
I've only done one coat so far but it's made the room look SO much smaller.
Agh. Partner thinks if I finish the black paint job we should keep the wall behind the big cupboard pale pink. His instinct is to revert to pink on the stair wall, and go ahead with wallpapering the big cupboard wall.

hace 3 añosHiya. Post viral fatigue is making me slower than normal at responding but I'm really grateful for all your advice. Maddie, I missed your message a while ago. The floor is getting boarded! Not by pirates. It's plywood. In advance of sheet vinyl. The beaten up boards were lovely but super unhygenic, particularly with an incontinent dog in the family. My partner is moving in (woop) but he's bringing his normal levels of cleanliness with him, so I have to start acting a bit more grownup and occasionally allowing him to mop the floors ;-).
I'm going to repaint the black stair wall pink, but leave the 'back of the cupboard' areas black, as suggested by the never-wrong Jonathan.
I still don't know which wallpaper to go for.
And here's a pic of the stair wall before I painted it.

hace 3 añosSam, are you on instagram? If you are, check out luluandolivevintage. Think you’ll like her style. And she just did a makeover on her dining room. Painted a built in cabinet black (or dark blue) with orange/hot pink wallpaper on the inside and it looks fab. I could see that on your cabinet: black with bright coloured interior.

hace 3 añosThanks for you kind comment nmlondon. I think that’s the first time Newcastle has been compared to Thailand! Here are some daylight shots,. As you can see it’s a super dark room, and the canopy outside the kitchen window doesn’t help, but we need the outdoor weatherproof space. I’m really pleased with this room. It was a dining room when I bought the place, as pretty much a wreck, three years ago. The original tiny back kitchen is now the utility and a little shower room.
