Huge improvement methinks.

I like a light lilac or mauve for a room but that purple was a little, um, intense.

The Apricot is good, kinda classy, I'd never considered that as a room colour before.

cheers the purple was meant to be lilac it was a bit deceiving on the tin some 8 years ago

check out the colour white apricot really nice colour

the other combination I was going to go for was
blue mist
+
cornflower white

good combination IMO

A really nice transformation Psd99, I love those apricot colours, they look lovely and bright, but in a relaxing way. (I'm a bit biased though, because our sitting room walls are a similar colour... but in need of a re-paint now.) Well done you!

Glad to see that I'm not the only one with a tangle of wires under the desk.

Much better

Taking the fitting ie lights sockets and switch off the wall or leaving them nice and loose makes things a lot easier though

yer originally we taped em up but then decided it wasn't enough so took out the screws moved away from wall and painted around them all then when the paint dried back on

yer still a bit unsettled and when I get the chance will make the wires look nicer I will get it such that one can not see any of the wires.
