muted shadesI love these muted murky shades - blues, greens, yellows and and creams - I think they look gorgeous in the home and create such a cosy feel....
We're thinking of moving next year - we're not sure if we'll buy a new home (we are currently looking) or if we'll fix up our investment home - lots of walls to knock down, a huge new kitchen and we can slowly turn it into our dream house...im a little scared as renovating can be stressful work and I must admit Id rather buy then fix but it will also be a challenge... I'm also stuck about interior styles, how does one choose when there is so much on offer out there?? too confusing!

Ooh my girls would love that bedroom. Not so good in a 1960s cream brick though hehe.
I'm with you Anastasia, muted tones all the way! I've never heard of this magazine before but I'm loving what I see? Where do you buy your copies from or do you have a subscription?
Anna :)

You mentioned being in a quandary about buying v. remodeling and then in choosing a design. When I've moved in the past, I always tried to live in the house and "feel" it for a year before I did any remodeling. It may sound strange, but I think a house has an "essence" that good design should enhance.
lovely images! those two beds in the last photo are so beautiful.
you know i am not much help about deciding which style. but i do think that you start with one piece, one colour, one something and that will guide you.
Thanks Carol - its a good tip there...not sure if the house is liveable as is...im sure it would drive me crazy - im so impatient haha but I agree - a house does have a character of its own, you wouldnt want to ruin that only enhance it!!
I also love the muted and murky!!
