So there was no getting lost in suburban sprawl for David's real-estate-agent wife Jamie and their two daughters, who lived in the leaky home for three years while David got to work on the revamp.

The rest of the house was basically a knock-down job , which, he says, made it easier to flatten the complex pitched roof and "rationalise [open] the irregular series of nested, closed rooms".

I have made the mistake before of mixing too many styles by simply picking paints tiles, furniture and lighting that I liked, but did not fit one theme or style. I want to mention also that the idea of mixing the strength of a paint is intriguing as I had never read this concept before.

That way all the shades go together- brilliant! Hi Caren I speak to so many people who make the same mistake of choosing things they really love but then realising they do not necessarily work together and I was guilty of this before I trained as a designer. Personally, I love the dark blue cabinetry for a kitchen with a white and grey house theme.

However to help you decide for yourself you really need to consider all the other elements for your decorating plan. Get together the fabrics that you love, furniture and accessories you already own and plan to keep, artworks and any other inspiration you have.

Put it all together and then make a decision to go in one direction. The trouble now is that there is so much to choose from and so many things around � you may need a local designer to help you.

I often work with people who have a very good idea about what they want but just need a coach almost to keep them on track! Thanks so much for getting me started with your generous advice.

I wish you were here in the US as I love your style. Hi we are putting in a new kitchen in Australia and have choose lexicon quarter cabinets, caesarstone pure white benches and are now having trouble picking a wall colour.

Our trims are lexicon quarter and flooring is blonde oak. We want something modern and bright that wont throw too much colour against the kitchen. Leaning towards snowy mountains quarter but are worried it will be too light in the adjoining living area.

Also then worried that the half strength might throw colour against the kitchen. Was hoping you might have some feedback and advice?

Hi Stacey Your scheme sounds great but what you really need to decide is whether you like the idea of an adjustment in the wall colour because unless you go with Lexicon Quarter you will obviously see some difference. I agree that Natural White with this scheme is wrong and you need to steer clear of all of the warm whites. Is there a natural break between the kitchen and living where you could switch strengths?

This would be ideal and I would recommend Quarter for the kitchen walls and half for the living. If not I would recommend you paint a large sample board with half and prop it up next to the kitchen to see whether you like the effect. I think it will work but you need to love it too. Hi there! My I ask a similar question. The walls are full glass at each end so its quite bright especially towards each end, as the light comes in from both directions with living rooms at each end and the kitchen inbetween.

Would love an opinion on strength? Definitely want green base, had this before and it worked really well, just worried about the half GP losing the greenish tint. Also thinking maybe a combo of both? Hi Vicki My feeling is to go full strength with the Grand Piano. I also think you need a little depth on your walls to complement the earthy African palette.

I hope this helps and leaves you less confused! Just what I needed to hear as full strength has been my gut feeling all along and being as light and bright as any normal house it should not be a problem. I really do want a bit of depth and color on the walls, far from whitish, and what a fabulous tip about the trims!

I have an villa. I am beach front. Not a lot of natural light. Lots of natural timber features. I would like to repainted the kitchen and hallway walks first. I like the scandanavian look but have no idea what colour to choose for walls, I have been researching for a long time and feel more confused. Hi Anne There are a few points you need to consider to start the process. If you like the idea of a Scandinavian look you may want to paint just some of the timber but clearly you need to be careful as once painted it is hard to undo and being a beautiful old house you may not want to do this.

You need to consider the colour of your floor � is it timber or are there tiles or carpet. I always advise to work from the floor upwards when putting together a colour scheme and then carefully consider what needs to be painted.

You should also consider the other elements � the kitchen cabinet colours and furniture that you have. The kitchen is particularly important. If you have white cabinetry it is very important to tie in the white for the walls with this element. Perhaps look at something like a warm white � Taubmans Secret White is a lovely creamy white that is light and will work with timber but you absolutely must check any sample that you try with your kitchen cupboards and your timber and remember to consider the colour of your floor.

I hope that this gets you started. Thank you so much for this amazing article! What would be the best option to make the rooms look bigger, brighter, more crisp and airy? Is a matt finish still okay and painting around windows and trims with same color too? Everything is wood and sooo dark and dingy haha� The 50s right?! Thank you so very much!! Great to hear that you have your first home!

Some paint companies offer their whites in varying strengths from full to quarter. You must be careful not to select anything that has a blue undertone and you can usually see this when you place the sample next to a white sheet of paper as this really helps you to see the underlying colour in the white.

You will find that just by painting the interior timber you will lighten the place enormously and start to get your Scandinavian feel. Remember that this is why Scandinavian people paint their houses in white as they need to reflect as much light as possible through the long winter months � much the same as Montreal!

Do get sample pots first though and just bear in mind that you should paint the majority of the timber and steer clear of the really cool blue based whites as you want a fresh feel rather than a cold sterile one. Also consider that some timber accents can really work well with a look like this so you might like to consider how much of the timber you paint over as it is almost impossible to get it back once painted!

Great site Samantha! The other bedrooms face east and the bathrooms, toilet and laundry face west. The living room also has windows on the south side.

Presently walls are like a dulux seed pearl colour with pinkish hued carpet. It has clean lines despite being a brick veneered house and we wanted to modernise the feel but a plaster board painted in lexicon quarter seems too stark, although it may work fine in the bathrooms with the harsher afternoon sun.

Snowy mountain quarter? Or something warmer like dulux natural white? Stuck on white, Mark. Hi Mark great to hear from you. As you have pink coloured tiles I think it is safest to stick with a warm taupe colour for your carpet.

Warm brown taupe tones work well with pinkish hues but if you bring samples home from the showroom you will get a better idea.

In terms of the white, if you are keeping walls and trim the same and want a nice contemporary feel then I think you should look at something like Dulux White Cloak Quarter.

This is a warm off white that has a touch of grey but I think you need to be warm due to the Primrose windows.

I agree that Lexicon quarter will be too harsh and I think with the warm tones in the tiles you need to stay away from the blue based whites. If you paint a large board with your chosen white and then put it next to the large carpet samples you will get an idea of how it will all come together. I hope this points you in the right direction. Cheers Samantha.

Samantha, Further to my last comment, we live in Australia so north-facing is a good thing! Cheers, Mark. Hi I am tossing up between natural white Dulux or wattyl chalk dust for kitchen cabinetry. I like warm colours and have tallow wood floors and white birch windows and paperbark covered area.

What warm colour works best for cabinetry?? Hi Virginia I think Wattyl Chalkdust may work better as it is slightly fresher and you are certainly on the right track to complement White Birch and Paperbark. Dulux Natural White will work too as they are really very similar so you should probably consider what you are going to use for the walls and also the paint company that your kitchen supplier likes to work with.

Good luck with your project! Hi Samantha � this stream is so helpful! Our floors are marri though, which is very warm. Would you have any suggestions? Hi Faye Thanks for your note. If the latter then this is a warmer white and so you must avoid anything blue based.

As to half or quarter strength you also need to consider the cupboards � do you want the walls to just tie in with the cupboard doors or be slightly darker. However, you really do need to consider the wall white in relation to the kitchen cupboards so ideally hold up larger samples next to that. You can afford to have a little more depth in the lovely north facing sunny position.

I hope this helps Samantha. Hi Samantha This thread has come as a saving grace for me at the moment. Thanks so much for your excellent advice. I have to decide on both external and internal colours for a new north-facing home in lovely Gold Coast. I chose a Hamptons beach style throughout in terms of furnishings and would love a bright, cheerful environment.

Our proposed external colour scheme is Shale Grey roof and walls, vivid white gutters and fascias and bondi blue interpon matched pillars for the portico, front door and flower pots.

Internal colours are Lexicon full strength for walls and Vivid white for skirtings, doors and architraves. I have polar white matt kitchen cabinets, a mosaic tiled splashback in mother of pearl Dulux Sea Note colour, and splashes of the same blue and sea green on white leather couches.

I also have two feature walls, one in Sea Note and one Swift. Do you think the whites will work together or did I get this totally wrong � which is absolutely possible since I cannot imagine how all these whites will come together :. The floor is oak floorboards and there are many earthy furnishings, baskets and light wood to complement the white. Your advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Nicky Great to hear from you! I think this all sounds like you are on the right track. I just have a couple of points: Are you painting your gutters and fascias? Usually for a new home these are in a colorbond finish and people usually opt for Surfmist. However if you are painting then this is fine but do remember that Vivid Kitchens With Wooden Countertops Quest White will get dirty quickly. Vivid White does give you a lovely tonal difference to your Shale Grey walls though so is definitely a good idea for shutters etc if you want that crisp finish.

For the interior, Vivid White is a lovely trim but you might consider Lexicon Quarter strength to go with your full strength Lexicon walls? You are on the right track with Polar white kitchen as this is the cool white and Lexicon with its blue base is also very cool.

Vivid White is not wrong � it will soften the look as it is warmer but I just wanted to check that you had also considered Lexicon Quarter? Oak floorboards are gorgeous and natural accessories sound great to finish this look so I am sure this will give you the lovely cheerful environment that you are seeking.

Hi Samantha! Galvanised iron roof, surfmist colourbond garage doors. We have great natural light. Do these two whites work together or are they too similar? Hi Nicole Lovely to get your message.

They both have a warm base and there will be enough difference. However you may want to re-consider the outside as the colours will be too similar there, particularly in good natural light. As you have Surfmist on the garage doors you could probably use this on the weatherboards and then introduce the Dulux Vivid White as a trim around windows, garage doors, etc to provide the difference that you will need for the exterior.

Do try out large samples in situ first though before committing. My house is 20 years old and have white birch aluminium trim and full cream brick inside � the only plaster is on the ceiling. I am planning to paint the whole house in the first instance to remove the full effect of full on brick and want a white that a goes with white birch and b provides a lot of brightness and looks clean.

I was leaning toward natural white but feel after reading your column that this may be too creamy as I want to open up the space. My aspect is Western Sun but most living is Eastward. I live in beautiful Brisbane.

No floor colour picked yet, but the colour in your blog is where i am leaning. The whole house is getting a face lift but the walls will cost too much to fully plaster so am going the easier option for now anyway , thanks in advance Tina. Hi Tina I have white birch windows too! I do actually like some walls just painted for brick as you get a lovely textural look so when you do come to re-plaster you should consider leaving some as they are � painted of course.

In terms of a colour I think that you are probably on the right track with Dulux Natural White. It is a touch creamy and this is an issue for people with very white windows � Pearl White or Surfmist � but you should work with what you have rather than try to fight against it and you will see that it will just appear as an off white that will be clean and bright without being sterile and exacerbating your window colour.

A blackbutt or light oak floor would look great with this and you will need a touch of warmth as the living areas are facing East. Enjoy beautiful Brisbane Samantha.

I hope your readers appreciate the effort that goes into giving away so much professional advice for free! The house is rustic and hand rendered, but lacks direct natural light due to small windows and large verandahs. White Cloak Half is a great off white that is warm yet grey and I am finding people love this at the moment so this would certainly be worth a try.

You certainly seem to have Dulux worked out so if you have time you might also look at Haymes paints for an alternative. Their Whitewash range is a warm grey white which is similar and could be what you are looking for. The benefit to this is that they have the system whereby they have varying strengths so you can go from Whitewash 1 all they way to Whitewash 7 which is a dark grey.

This can be really useful if you do want to introduce any darker colour anywhere in the house and it ensures that all your whites and greys naturally work together.

Or their Minimalist range is a touch warmer. I hope this is helpful � your house sounds very interesting Samantha. Our two pack kitchen will also be in this colour. Will Vivid white on the ceiling work? Will dirt be more obvious on Vivid white skirting boards? Unfortunately I have chosen windows which are in Dulux Architectural White already installed which is quite different to Vivid white. Do you think this is an issue if the architraves are a different white to the aluminum white windows?

Thank you. Hi Alexandra Dulux Vivid White is an excellent choice as it will match your kitchen so you are not introducing another white and it will provide a great contrast to the Casper White Half. It is a great ceiling colour too. This white though will accentuate the grey in the Casper White Half which I think will suit your Hamptons look but you need to be sure you will be happy with this.

If you are worried about this and the dust you may want to consider Casper White Quarter!! I was quite naive to the process till I read this informative article and comments! We are installing solid spotted gum floors throughout and our windows are cedar. Our living area is quite long and narrow and consists of kitchen off white , dining, living and rumpus high.

This area Kitchens With Wooden Floors 30 is east facing and does not get much natural light. Our painter has recommended Natural White for walls and trims but I would prefer the trims to pop. I was thinking White Exchange Half for the walls or Snowy Mountains Half and White on White for the trims but am concerned that this will be too dark in the living area due to the lack of natural light.

I would prefer a grey tinge opposed to a cream base but still crisp enough to create a bright feel. HI Ana Lovely to hear from you. Dulux White Exchange Half is a nice fresh white � in some lights it has a touch of green. Be careful with Dulux White on White as it has a definite cool blue undertone. If you like a contemporary white with just a touch of grey, Dulux Snowy Mountains may be the most suitable.

Any white that you select should be tried next to your kitchen as although you say it is off white it may have an undertone of colour and you need to ensure that whichever one you choose, goes with your cabinetry. If you want a trim colour that will make the walls pop, Dulux Lexicon Quarter is a fresher, less blue alternative to Dulux White on White. If you paint large samples and place them next to each other and your kitchen cabinets, you will gain a better idea.

Thank you Samantha! Snowy Mountain ordered after sample review yesterday. Much excitement now to see it painted. Hi there.. We have blackbutt floors and antique white walls but during winter I find the antique white too dark and dirty creamy looking. Am I on the right track. Will this go with ceiling white ceiling and straight up aquaenamel semi gloss white.

Hi Sofi � great to hear from you, Dulux Nautural White may work as it will be similar to your cabinetry however you may like Dulux White Cloak Quarter as it is an updated version of Antique White but in quarter strength should be light enough.

A lot of my clients love this colour with crisp ceiling white. If you do want something fresher then you should definitely look at Snowy Mountains Quarter but you need to ensure it will look OK with the cabinetry.

Make sure you paint a large sample board and carry it around the room, including next to the cabinetry and ceiling to ensure you like it before committing! We are repainting our house after re sheeting our ceilings and replacing cornicing with square set.

We live on the Gold Coast, and are looking to modernise a s property. The front half of the house receives lots of sun, the back is darker, even with large picture windows, due to a covered veranda.

We have two different tiles, one that is quite rustic looking, mottled, that throws orangey tan in one light and pink at other times! The tiles in the bedrooms are closer to taupe.

We have chosen Dulux casper white quarter, as we wanted a clean white, and are now trying to decide on trim. That said, we have a corridor with five flat pane doors leading off it, and I am concerned that so much white may lead to a broken effect. Would it be better to go for Casper quarter on the trim, or am I worrying too much!

It probably is just a case of trial and error. I would use a small pot of each paint and paint the trim and walls in both options. Sorry not to be more definite but both will work � it just depends which effect you prefer. I have read your comments from varying people and your insight has really enlightened me, as I am new to picking whites and was a little overwhelmed with the selection available.

We have built a new home in Austraila with large windows facing north, the kitchen cupboards are a cool white with Caesartone Nordic Loft bench top and antique oak floors. I originally chose Dulux White Exchange quarter for the walls and Lexicon half for the trim and ceiling. This was painted in the garage and straight away I noticed a blue tinge and was concerned, as I like a slight grey or warm tone but not a blue colour. The fail safe formula also came to mind.

The windows are colourbond black and I have not chosen the blind colour as yet. Also, we sold our furnishing with our last house so have virtually a clean slate to work on. Dulux Vivid White has a slightly warmer, creamier base. Do you know which white your kitchen cupboards are? If so, this can be a good starting point for your trim white.

Hope this makes things clearer for you! It actually rains a lot so I would like to keep it as light as possible. The living room, dining room open into the kitchen. I want to paint the kitchen cabinets white and after reading your article on navy blue kitchen cabinets, I would like to paint the island navy blue.

What are your suggestions for wall, trim, upper cabinets and island paint colors? Thanks in advance for all your help! Hi Marcia Lovely to hear from you and my apologies for not getting to your note sooner � I have been in the UK with my family for Christmas and have just arrived home, rather jetlagged and tired!

I have looked at the Sherwin Williams range and as you have creamy colours in the house, I would opt for something like Pure White which is light but soft warm white for your kitchen cupboards and I would also use this for the trim so that you are not introducing another off white into the scheme.

Sherwin Williams Dress Blues is a lovely dark navy which has a touch of grey and then for the walls you could use something like Origami White which is a bit darker but not so dark that it will be gloomy.

The key is to get samples of everything and to look at them with your sofa, chairs and rug � it might even help to take a cushion along to your local paint store to view the various whites.

To really get an appreciation of the colours together it is also a good idea to get paint samples and paint two coats on a board and place them in situ at nighttime and during the day to be sure you will like the end result. Would love to here how it all goes.

Hi Sam, We have all warm colours in our house such as brushbox timber flooring and sisal carpet called Paritea by Cavalier Bremworth clay bank. Our walls are all Dulux Hogs bristle with white walls in bathrooms. We would like the fresh whitecontrast now against the Hogs Bristle rather than an off white.

Thanks M. Hi Megan I love the sound of the warm colours in your home and a crisp white trim will certainly give this palette a lovely lift. This is very similar but just a touch creamier � this is almost impossible to see but I just feel that it knocks out the cool blue of the Lexicon and will go better with your warm palette � grab a sample to see what you think and also ensure that your shutters can be made in this � I assume you are having them painted?

If not, check the range of whites that they come in and use the paint trim that best matches. Hope it goes well! Hi, very grateful to find this feed as currently agonizing over wall colours for a rental property. It gets lots of natural light, has wood stained trim. Putting down a floor with greys and beige coloring. Carpet in bedrooms light grey, lounge area will be dark grey. Snowy Mountain half or quarter? Would love any advise anyone might have.

Hi Jenny If your property gets a lot of natural white you can afford to go with Dulux White Exchange Half and this may complement the timber trim nicely. Snowy Mountains Half is much fresher and lighter but will be very white. Either will work but you need to consider the look and mood that you want. Do you want a softer white that is more of a pale neutral? If so then White Exchange Half should work. However if you want a crisper, more contemporary feel, then you would be safer going with the Dulux Snowy Mountains Half.

I feel that the quarter strength of this will be really too white and dazzling in a house with lots of natural light. Whichever way you go, you should double check larger samples, if possible, with the carpet and tiles.

Due to the low level of natural light, we assume that we should be looking at colours that are more neutral or warm. However, we want to avoid anything too yellow or creamy. Our floors are fairly light tiles with marbled neutrals. Can you give us any tips or advise which colours might be a good starting point to try? Thanks again for the great information on the site! Hi Dee I am so glad that you find my blog helpful.

The best way to put a colour scheme together is to work from the ground up so you really need to look closely at the marbled neutrals in your tiles and take your cue from there. Off the top of my head, a colour like Dulux White Cloak Half or quarter might work well as it is warm and light but has a touch of grey to prevent it from being too creamy or yellow however you will need to consider the low level of natural light.

One side has their warm whites and the other side has the cool ones so you can see the difference between them at a glance. I would suggest you grab one of these and then place it next to the tiled floor to see which ones tie in the best. Hope this has set you on the right course � cheers Samantha.

Hi Samantha, We are in the process of renovating a californian bungalow in Geelong. We have painted the interior vivid white skirts etc and white exchange half on the walls. Really happy with it. Not sure if i will get contrast without it looking mismatched?? Wanting it to have warmth. What do you think would be the best to give me the look im after. Many thanks Erin. Hi Erin You really need to be careful with exterior whites as they look so different outside.

Most people find that Colorbond Surfmist is light enough and that appears quite grey inside. However people do use Dulux Vivid White for trims and it gives a very fresh, clean look. However you will need to be careful with the weatherboards if you want to see a difference and the effect that is achieved will depend upon the amount of light that the house receives � for example is it North facing, surrounded by trees and south facing or on top of a hill and facing the harsh westerly sun?

All of these will make a huge difference to the outcome. I suggest that you paint a large sample board in Dulux Vivid White and look at White Cloak full strength to see the difference and then go from there. Hi Samantha, I would really appreciate some help!! I have dark jarrah floorboards and white window frames.

My home is in the hills so I would love to have an earthy feel but also want a crisp freshness. I like the fresh bright feeling of white walls that create a clean, calm atmosphere. I love bright colours pink, teal, yellow, green, orange and purples and the boho theme so hope to collect distinctive upcycled bright coloured pieces of timber furniture, rugs, artwork and morrocan type chandelier lighting.

I hope this is all making sense!! Just wondering if you have any other suggestions? Will warm or cool whites complement the brighter colours better? Thanks so much in advance for any advice you can offer!! Hi Claire I am so sorry that I have not got back to you before now � your question was missed by me and I feel I am probably too late.

My feeling is to go with a cooler white to knock out the creamy tones and something like Dulux Snowy Mountains Half would give you a lovely fresh, crisp backdrop for all the lovely bright colours and will also help to make the house a bit brighter. Hi Samantha, Your article is SO helpful. I was confused about all the different kinds of white, but you explained it so well, thank you! We are renovating a s house we have just bough � our first home, yay!

So we have chosen Dulux White Exchange Half after reading your article. However, I now think that the warm tone of the paint might not match the blue carpet. Should I try to exchange the paint for a cooler white or should I go ahead and paint the walls anyway with the White Exchange Half colour? Or would grey not go with it at all? I wanted to paint the kitchen and hallway a different tone of a very light neutral colour but I am stuck out of ideas� Thanks so much and I love reading your blog!!!!

Once you change to a dark grey carpet, it should still work as it is pretty neutral and you can then add other greys for your kitchen � as with whites, greys also have an undertone so think about finding a neutral grey rather than one with a definite undertone of colour � ie Charcoal Blue etc.

Dulux Stepney is a nice warm, fairly neutral grey as a place to start. I am also just about to post a new article on neutral greys that you might also find helpful. We are trying to decide on a white for our joinery in our kitchen! It is a east facing but we will be putting a couple velux windows in to increase the light! We are using vivid white with one drop of black for trims and dieskau for the walls.

Caesarstone is frosty carrina and floors are a rustic Oak board. There will be some black butt feature floating shelves and the back of the island will also be in blackbutt. What do you recommend?!

Ps the joinery has no handles, just finger pulls and will be in a satin finish. Hi Kylie When I specify a white for kitchen cabinetry, I try to use the same white that has been specified for internal doors and trim as this way you are not introducing another white. If you are having painted cabinetry, I would recommend you follow this process, otherwise if you are using a melamine or laminate product, I would find the one that matches your trim the best � I suspect it will be a cool white if you are using Vivid White with a touch of black.

Thank you for your article! The house gets good light in the front lounge, bedrooms and side dining room. I was thinking of lexicon half for the trim but your previous comments make me think vivid white might be better. I was thinking of dulux barnfloor full strength to feature in the light filled lounge room.

Hi Serena Glad your coming to terms with all the whites! For your trim colour, I would grab a sample of Dulux Lexicon Quarter and a sample of Dulux Vivid White and see which one matches the white of your kitchen the best. Off the top of my head, I would say Vivid White as it is a little softer and will go well with the warmth of Dulux Hog Bristle Half but it would be great if it also matched your kitchen cabinetry.

Dulux Barnfloor is a lovely neutral which I think should work well with the terracotta � a large sample of this would confirm it but as it is just a feature you can probably play around with it. Hope it works well. Thank you so much for your kindness with writing this blog!! And all your replies. The main kitchen, dining and living area faces East and has big sliding doors on the East facing wall and at the end of the house, facing the South.

We have kitchen cabinets which are polar white, very light grey tiles and a grey stone bench top cloudy bay. A lot of our furniture is Oak and we have a bit of Navy and grey colour scattered around in terms of pillows and rugs.

I have no idea of the trim! Any advice would be wonderful!! And do you think the halfs of quarters?? Thank you SO much!

Best wishes. Hi Sonia The house sounds great � I love soft greys, whites and navy. For your trim, you could take the lead from your Polar White Kitchen cabinets and match this � paint companies will actually colour match to laminate colours if you bring it to the paint store.

I would then stick with the cool whites � Dulux Snowy Mountains Half is the most neutral � White Exchange Half is cool but with a touch of green in some lights and Dulux Lexicon Half has a definite blue undertone � they will all work � it just depends which is your favourite. Perhaps get samples of all three and hold them up in different lights and different parts of the house with the Polar White to see which one you like the best!

Good luck with the building process! Thank you for your reply!! Does the green come out that much? Do you think an East and South facing house could take the Snowy Mountains full, or will it look a bit dirty?

Should I stick to the half? Thanks again! Hi Sonia I think you will be safe with the Dulux Exchange Half � it is a great neutral and sounds like it is a good compromise between your other two choices.

It is not really green in the traditional sense but just a great neutral and I find that these whites are the best to work with. It also looks great with Vivid White. It is actually tonally similar to Snowy Mountains full strength but is a bit softer. Christmas is so different in England � the London lights were beautiful and I love the way they decorate the shops with natural greenery � so much prettier than the artificial but it would probably last 10 minutes in the Queensland sun!

Loved it but prefer Summer there so all my Christmases now will probably be Aussie ones, by the beach with a cocktail in hand! Hope you had a great holiday and that you love your new home x. Thanks so much Samantha! And your blog is just fantastic! Hi, I have Dulux Stowe White on my walls and am wanting a lighter trim and frames.
