Money was super tight so that was all I could spend.MargaretPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990336317308988689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-92079361381768812872020-10-25T00:52:52.222+01:002020-10-25T00:52:52.222+01:00After a lifetime of magnolia, I painted my living ...After a lifetime of magnolia, I painted my living room yellow.

We even picked up an identical pair to yours but then found some without a pattern which look lovely in here and match the wallpaper (the one room with a papered wall as none of the walls are square here!)<br /><br />Looks like you bought some necessary things anyway. All forms of yellow brighten up a house in winter.<br /><br />Here in Wales we are on total lockdown for 17 days now. I am hoping it won't hold up the solicitors who are doing the work for our house sale and purchase.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-73612457397190358792020-10-24T18:07:21.073+01:002020-10-24T18:07:21.073+01:00Beauty, I am looking forward to the purchases up a...Beauty, I am looking forward to the purchases up and the new home.Gemma's personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740156670047388540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-78457190382084871152020-10-24T17:51:57.493+01:002020-10-24T17:51:57.493+01:00I love the curtains.
