Time To Freshen Up Our Home

I recently mentioned that our bedroom needs a makeover but after sitting back and thinking about it the whole house does too. We got a double extension on our house back in 2007 and we decorated from top to bottom. Since then it has only been painted once. I think when we found out we were pregnant with little J we didn't want to decorate then as it meant lots of work and we didn't have the time or money as we were saving for a new baby. Then it got to the point were we thought we don't want to decorate when he's a toddler because he will be drawing on the walls and getting up to all sorts of mischief. Actually little J is a very good toddler and I don't think he will have the 'terrible twos' at all, *fingers crossed* so we have decided to decorate the whole house.

The beige coloured walls and dark furniture were great at first but now its time to add a bit of colour.

Now we have the idea to decorate and give our home a makeover its just getting the motivation to actually start. We've been browsing for decorating ideas and makeover tips. We have every room painted at the moment and it would be nice to paint again but we would definitely need a change in colour.

The walls throughout the downstairs, hall, landing and stairs are a very plain beige colour. We loved it at first but now its just boring. It looks bright but the slightest of marks really show up and then it just looks dirty.

So we were thinking of completely changing the colour scheme and choosing something a little darker but still bright. I know it will take us weeks to decided on a colour, there will be lots of tester pots coming home with us.

Once we have decided on a colour we will then match our furniture around that and hopefully fingers crossed by Christmas our house will be all fresh and gleaming.

Do you have the same colour scheme throughout your home or does each room have its own individuality?
