There is definitely a bonus side to the exhausting exercise of having one’s kitchen ripped out and replaced. Having lived in my rather lovely house for over twenty years, it was easy to see how lax I had become with regards to keeping up with decorating themes and trends. In fact I didn’t have any decorasting done for the first fifteen years here – the plain magnolia shade of emulsion seemed to still look good and we had bought all new furniture and effects to exactly suit that shade. I might be one of the few folk on this planet who does like magnolia coloured walls! I like the fact it is ver neutral and can sit alongside many others in the spectrum. I still have the honey coloured carpets throughout the house, bar the washrooms and kitchen areas of course. This happy combination of honey with magnolia is definitely a winner for easy ad effortlesws styling.
