Hi there, I wish I could answer this question but to protect the clients privacy all our photoshoots are saved under the suburb and style of home not the clients name so I can't access this information. Most our client's work with our colour consultant to develop a unique scheme such as this. Often they use our own colours found here http://rocheledecorating.com.au/paint-colours-online

Hi, This gray silk is one of our best sellers and works really well with Farrow & Ball Pavilion Gray in either a blind or curtains (ready made and made to measure available). Silk adds a luxurious feel which I think is always nice in a bedroom. I would then add colour in the accessories such as yellow which is very popular at the moment. You only have to change the accessories then to create a whole new look. http://www.kathyhansoninteriors.co.uk/curtains/ FREE sample fabrics available

Stairway revamp

You can leave the handrail the same distance from the wall as it is now. Leave it connected to the newel post at the top; remove the newel post at the bottom, and add what's called a 'return' to anchor the bottom end to the wall. Then add a couple of brackets going up the stairs. The challenge is that the return should match the profile of the handrail, in order to blend, but check at the home center or a lumber yard/mill to see if you can match it (take measurements/drawings/close-up photos, etc.). As for painting the stairs--be careful with "fun" graphics. The treads and risers need to be clearly defined and regular. For example, a plaid or check that doesn't match the tread and riser exactly at each step is a trip hazard and may not meet building codes. People need to be able to see the treads clearly even without paying attention to them. Walking is an unconscious activity and we need to make it as easy as possible. Confusing patterns are a menace. In NYC, they put new edges on treads on one stairway at one train station that were designed to make them less slippery. However, they also made it more difficult to discern the edge of the tread. In 6 weeks, more than 1,400 people fell down those stairs. Then they redid them. Over 90% of injuries on stairs happen during descent. I highly recommend Bill Bryson's great book 'At Home--A Short History of Private Life'. The NYC anecdote above came from Chapter 14--'The Stairs'. Fascinating and amusing book. My house is 100 years old, so I feel your pain dealing with the changes and additions that happened over time.

Hello! We bought a house with a wonderful extension that is full of French windows and light every time of the day and I’m having a hard time finding a scheme for it also because of its wooden ceilings and brick fireplace! It used to be super cozy and old fashion and after living in it for a while I painted the walls Priory Blue and Vintage Grey but still can’t decide whether white or anything else would have been a better choice! Here are a few pictures if anyone likes to have a look, thanks for your advice!
