Sulking Room Pink has stratospherically zoomed into orbit around the planet of my best EVAH paint names. Sulking Room Pink!!! If there was ever a colour I'd want a room to be painted in at that certain lady-time of the month then Sulking Room Pink would be it....

Farrow and Ball say...

Sulking Room Pink is a romantic and muted rose; its powdery feel makes it incredibly soft. Not to be seen as overtly pink, but rather a muted rose with enormous warmth: its powdery feel makes it incredibly soft and easy to use with complementary tones. Sulking Room Pink is evocative of the colours so often used in boudoirs, a room named after the French "bouder" - to sulk.

Modern Country Style says....

Farrow and Ball have really launched a game-changer pink here. Please note that Sulking Room Pink is not a soft, chalky pink. See how it picks up intensity in the corners, showing its browner and bluer roots? This is NOT the blush pink you've been looking for....BUT it does work magnificently if you think of it as Blush's older sister! Or a deeper, more mysterious cousin perhaps? And definitely cooler too. With tonnes of white and a smattering of an accent colour, this could be a fantastic Modern Country pink paint!

But what does Farrow and Ball's Sulking Room Pink really look like?

Granted, the above image is only after one coat, but you can see its deeper brown hues shine through clearly.

On furniture, Sulking Room Pink comes up beautifully:

In terms of colour schemes, you can go very contemporary with Farrow and Ball's Sulking Room Pink paint, as showcased here:

Or you can go full country gorgeous, like this suggestion from the beautiful Forge Interiors:

But my favourite suggestion is this, a perfect blend of Modern and Country....

How gorgeous is this starting point for a  beautiful Modern Country colour scheme by Rooms With A View?

Yes, sireeee, Farrow and Ball Sulking Room Pink is slotting right into my portfolio as A Colour To Use.... but what about the other new paints for 2018?

Top Ten Vintage Kitchen Ideas

I've been a busy bee, my lovelies!! Very busy indeeeeeeedy. We're planning a huge new building project in our new house. And part of that project will involve planning a whole new kitchen.

{Short pause to let excited screaming commence}

I've never had a new kitchen before. Actually, I tell a lie. We did install a cheap-as-chips kitchen in our very first flat to replace the tired old thing that was there but that was really only for selling purposes.

This will be my first Kitchen Of Dreams.

And I cannot wait to take you on that journey with me.

Today, I want to introduce you to the charms of the Vintage Kitchen. Two words which actually cover a surprisingly wide range of different looks. Whether you love timeless...

retro...

or modern...

...the Vintage Kitchen look is one that will add charm, character and warmth to any kitchen space. That could be by binging a touch of softness to a stern and stark set-up....

Kitchen painted in Little Greene Mid Lead

or by giving a starkly characterless new-build an aged patina it so desperately needs.

This gorgeous kitchen by Room With A View shows how perfectly the vintage kitchen look can work with older properties. Check out that gorgeous cobbled floor!!

It's all about finding the balance between the old and the new. Nobody wants a jumble sale vibe going on. And the line can be surprisingly fine between old tat and carefully curated kitchen.

If you're a lover of vintage chic then you might want to consider keeping the colour palette on the neutral side to give the whole look a gorgeous modern twist...

You knew I'd find a way of weaving Modern Country Style into here somewhere, right? A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!

Take care till next time,

Sarahxx
