Well I say busy…. I’ve been pottering
I’ve just come back after a walk and ate a sandwich on the way home whilst listening to The Archers.
I missed the Linda Snell/ Justin Elliot scene as Dorothy was barking too much.
Today I’ve finished painted my upstairs landing. I didn’t photograph my work because the landing is just too small.
It’s a gentle yellow with a new lampshade to match.
William’s bum marks have now been painted over on the bedroom door corner where he used to enjoy himself so much
( for those few that don’t know, William was a welsh terrier and not a disgusting ex boyfriend)
Hey ho.
My friend Neil , rang me to share that Sainsbury’s had orange glasses at a special offer price
So I popped down and bought the last one.
My black and white bathroom , has now been filled with accents of orange.
Too much?
I’m not sure.
After Albert finally tired, I gave Roger a pink lady apple to chew on.
I’ve lit the fire again tonight.
Very nice bathroom..and the glass matches the puffin's feet!
ReplyDeleteThe orange started off by accident , Clinique Happy aftershave bottle did it
DeleteI agree. Just right. Gill in NZ
ReplyDeleteCheers Gill x
DeleteLove the orange.
ReplyDeleteLove your avatar ……chatsworth house x
DeleteYou painted over William's bum marks? Philistine.
ReplyDeleteI know , my sister In law pointed the stains out when she went to the loo……I felt it needed to go
Deletelove the bathroom perfecto. Roger is a cutie. enjoy your beautiful space. Suzy
ReplyDeleteCheers Suzy
DeleteThe orange touches look perfect to me and I'm not really one for orange.
ReplyDeleteWell done in getting the upstairs hall painted!
Ah, the joys of pet interactions. :)
Hugs!
I’m not either but it is also the accent colour in my navy blue bedroom
DeleteOrange is my favourite colour, so to me it all looks fabulous. My accent colour in my griege bathroom is black and I'm not usually one for black accents but our bath feet are black and that's where that all started. It's great fun isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI love watching animals trying to out do one another; it's a hoot.

I don’t like orange lol
DeleteFor a moment, I thought you said you were painting Roger. That might have been a watercolour portrait of a tin of gloss Dulux "Sevilla".
ReplyDeleteYou silly billy
DeleteThose splashes of bright orange lift the room from being just any old bathroom, to the Gray family bathroom. Perfect! I bet there were mixed emotions painting over William's bum marks. xx
ReplyDeleteThe last sentence is a cracker
DeleteOne of mine apparently lived in a room with cats when the rescuer tried to save his life - my thatch barks at a cat who taunts him occasionally on the garage roof x 🐈🐏
ReplyDeleteErr yes xxx
DeleteNice
ReplyDeleteI like the orange. I also think it is awesome that you have a friend who calls to tell you where you can buy an orange glass for your bathroom.
ReplyDeleteLike many of my friends he knows me well
DeleteAnd he's a queen lol
DeleteYou are two of a kind then.
DeleteYou do a nice job with the decorative accents in your home, John. Your personality shines through...
ReplyDeleteLoland what does it say?
Deleteto me it says - Classy with a touch of the unexpected x 🐙
DeleteIs that a matching Toucan plate I see? Very nice arrangement. Totally feng shui.
ReplyDeleteTk maxx 3 £
DeleteYour toucan looks good there, considering he's a watering can in a bathroom (or have you bought another version?).
ReplyDeleteYes its a cheap watering can
DeleteA good day, I think. ///Orange would not be my choice of accent color but the great thing about a neutral black and white room is that you can change up the accent color as the mood or season takes you.
ReplyDeleteMy bathroom fitter said tge very same thing
DeletePops of orange in your b/w bathroom look really good. That's what is nice about b/w, you can add just about any pop of color and it looks just fine.
ReplyDeleteSee abovexx
DeleteIs that store really T.K. Maxx over there? It's T.J. Maxx in the States.
ReplyDeleteOrange is not a favorite for me either, but it looks good as the little splashes of color at your place!
I have to tell you John....I have really been enjoying watching you make this cottage your own. And your fun side comes through in it. Brava my friend.
ReplyDeleteMaddie…..thank u
DeleteIt works well I think and I like it. The touches of orange really lift the black.
ReplyDelete😝
DeleteNot too much, it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThe splashes of color are perfect. “... not a disgusting ex-boyfriend.” You make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThat’s my job xx
DeleteThe world needs more cheerful orange :)
ReplyDeleteIt’s the accent colour in my navy bedroom too x
DeleteI love those splashes of orange in your black and white bathroom! It's not too much.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer x
DeleteNow you just need some orange walking boots....
ReplyDeleteI have my rainbow ones coming
DeleteI love how attractively the shelf items are displayed. You've given me the nudge to pretty up my own master bathroom.
ReplyDelete🥫
DeleteA nice splash of color. A friend remarked on the before and after photo of our kitchen, that we went from color to back and white, perhaps I need to add some color.
ReplyDeleteUse a vivid tea cloth
DeleteIt is lovely, the splash of colour against the black and white is divine. Try switching the toucan and the potted plant and see if you prefer.
ReplyDeleteGood idea
DeleteI think the splashes of orange are absolutely perfect.
ReplyDelete😌
DeleteLove the orange accents and all your interesting pieces. Not over the top, just enough and very much your style. Louise
ReplyDeleteCheers louise
DeleteI love your toucan pitcher and your puffin...and of course the lobster bowl.
