190. Bedroom Box Mystery - Living Alone in Wales (January 2025)

Quick dash to the shops before they close for the weekend. I'm looking for Big Chief notepads but they don't seem to be available outside of the USA/Canada. Back at home it's time for some DIY.

Another vote for C 😁. I agree that it will give the room warmth. A lot of people think that orange juice is healthy, but it’s so packed full of sugar that it’s one of the things diabetics are advised to drink if their blood sugars fall too low as it raises them really quickly. Not good for weight loss. A whole orange is better as the dibre slows down the rate blood sugars rise. We find the avocados can be a bit tasteless, but like them with some Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce on the side. Very nutritious and good for a feeling of satiety.

If you think you won the lottery and you're in a flap about the whereabouts of the ticket, it's in the blue shopping bag 😂

I love D. The green pattern will bring character and vibrancy to a neutral room. I'd also add some green cushions and a throw to pick up the colours. Fabulous!!!

D for the curtains, a lovely green for a botanical ambience

D all day long, Sean! In my old trade, I worked with Morris fabrics and as garish as some of the bigger patterns are I've never got sick of them. All my scatter cushions are in a similar pattern as your upstairs curtains. In a front room, sometimes you want a statement piece, and your curtains can be that. Sometimes softer patterns work in bedrooms because they're more relaxing. However if you're like me, to relax I like to look at something interesting rather than muted. Whatever you choose, im sure it'll look great.

The red sample C, looked great. Imagine having a piece of it cut circular as a table cloth and as covers for few oversized pillows for the sofa as well

I think A for the living room would go well with your furniture and wouldn't overwhelm the room. It would also allow you more scope to change things in there without wondering if they will clash.

I wouldn't fret too much about sowing your onions - they can be sown up to early spring whether seeds or sets.

[JoBritten-bm]

I really like C I think an injection of colour would really suit the room. Keep warm!

Definitely D Sean, I like the red but I think the Green will link with your kitchen blind and upstairs curtain patterns and will bring out the green in your 🐈 picture. The first two plain ones will just blend into your walls and won’t bring cosiness to the cottage.

D is my pick, love those colours, so easy to coordinate cushions, fabrics - beautiful

[monikarathbone]

My Saturday and Sunday have been my snow shoveling days, could do only about 3 hous. Still not bad for a soon to be 77year old woman👍 it's done and the next snow is not something I look forward to. But a good workout with no pain.

[preppernut]

Definitely D. The red one looks too Christmas-y to me.

[theresevh]

I love C myself. It's so cheerful and bright. I love the texture. I'm in Canada, we don't have the Big Chief tablets here. I have a brother in the US and have asked him if they're hard to come by. Cheers!

[joannamorgan]

I would choose C. What a lovely pop of colour and will give you lots of matching options. Your home is lovely.

Hi Sean, I own a custom drapery and window covering business and an interior designer. The green patterned sample is not too big for the scale of the room and for the size of drapes you will need. I recommend the green. Because green is a calming color, it will bring a relaxing feel to the room.

[carolearrowsmith]

Hi Sean, nice to see you. I like fabric D. Like the drawer handles, they are like the ones they used to have in drapers shops years ago.🐞

[colleenmckinlay]

C is my choice but add a throw and some pillows to bring out the colours on the fabric. Cozy and warm. I think the d pattern is too large. Great job on that cute end table. A nice addition to your bedroom.

[nicolaedmonds]

I like D too, I do like a bit of William Morris if truth be known lol. Tidy Sean!!! Your house is looking so nice and yes does take time as I full well know when I moved to Anglesey nearly 2 years ago. Looking so good Sean liking your taste!!!

[Francesca]

Hi Sean what a nice solid cabinet it’ll be when it’s completed - the colour is lovely too - you seem to like the colour green too and probably the large patterned curtains will look great in the room

[meredithlynn]

Definitely D for the curtains. You could pin them all on your curtains so you can see which one fits your style the best.
