Barn dining area PROGRESS. 

My boy hates pink, I mean viscerally dislikes it. My daughter and I LOVE it. So the moment he left home to go to Uni in September, we got out the paint brushes! 

COLOUR - I hand mixed the colour myself, using Little Greene’s Carmine as a base and then adding white and a touch of orange - GingerGlow by Dulux. 

I’ve decided to call the end result Rhubarb Pink. A delicious warm pink that just draws you over to that side of the barn to sit down, eat and socialize together. I haven’t painted the ceiling yet, because I’m planning a mural! 

All the furniture is reused / secondhand / preloved - not sure how to categorize it really?

The CHAIRS are actually the blue ombré ones I had in the kitchen of my Crystal Palace flat, which my younger sister had originally passed on to me from her old kitchen. So this is their 6th colour incarnation! Again, a hand mixed pale puttyish pink. 

The DINING TABLE is the boyfriend’s old office table. My dream is to have a beautiful oval or round ended extendable table here, but that’s one to save up for. 

The SCREEN at the end is one I made for harlequinfw a few years ago to launch what was their new mural wallpaper at the time, Floreanna. Do you recognise it from my old bedroom? (Previously declared paid ad)

The CROCKERY is new - all really good value from habitatuk - all our (very) old ones were broken, chipped and scratched, so I thought it was worth starting again here. 

The glasses are all dunelmuk - I’ve always been a fan of pretty coloured glass. 

The NAPKINS are beautiful hand block printed cotton from grahamandgreen, which I absolutely love! Will show you in more detail in Stories later. 

The LAMPSHADE was £10 from ikeauk! 

Anyway, what do you think? Love the pink or hate it?
