The next time I decorate by a colour of the year will be the first time. Don't hold your breath. I have nothing against this particular colour but it doesn't work with all the things I've collected over the years, and I am not about to discard carpets bought after hard bargaining with dubious merchants in Istanbul or Islamabad because they don't "go" with a paint colour that someone voted "colour of the year." In its place, I think the colour would be quite nice (better than this years choices, certainly). It's just that my place isn't the right place for it.

I love nature so I saw the mountains first, then the flat roof, then the rain chains, then the glass walls, then the man, then the dog, then the whole picture. Quite a pleasing aesthetic overall. ...and Chook, I'd like to know WHY you are up on the roof in the first place!

The first thing we noticed was the beautiful light created by the back window and the blue curtains either side of it. What a fantastic room!

I don't think I would be game, be sure you really really love it, maybe splash back only .. Just in case you tire of it..good luck, I would love to see photos if you choose to use it. Tiles are really difficult, swinging between ultra boring, tired the day they go in and something out there like what you are contemplating
