Blues… 💭🎨

“Blues can give a fresh feel to a space and evoke feelings of calm” - we trust this Mylands theory and we agree ✔️. A lick of paint can totally transform a room - often thought of as cool colours, blues can also bring warmth to a space through the soft tones and depth of pigments. They can also be used with contrasting pinks, reds, greens or greys for a layered look... see pics for inspo!

We have sample pots/ colour charts in the shop if you want to pop in and take a look. Just ask any of our friendly team for the next steps in transforming your space…

Happy Sunday everyone (and Father’s Day to all the dads and dad figures 🌞)

As you may have seen on a few stories, Carole and friends are cycling the coast to coast and have been doing so since Friday! All money donations are going to Marie Curie.

Please give as generously as you can to support this amazing charity. We all know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. Marie Curie are there to support you as a victim of cancer or as a carer of someone who is going through it. They are good kind people.

Everyone on this ride pays their own way so all proceeds go to charity!

I appreciate your support very much and don’t take anything for granted when times are as tough as they are right now.

Please click the link to make a donation as they cycle the last miles today!!
