Colour my world

We've been thinking about painting our rooms for a long time. Yes, i know... possibly a little late to do anything now, seeing that we've already moved in for close to 4 months, and a lot of the furniture is in place. But I've always wanted our room to look somewhat like the room we had at the Kenton Palace Hotel in Bariloche, but with a little more colour - creamy latte walls, pale olive drapes, dark espresso wood, plush white bedlinens, moody black and white matted prints and the soft glow of warm light from ivory lamp shades.

A few complications - no budget for painters, lack of time to DIY, moving the furniture around and away from drips. Maybe textured wallpapering would be easier?

Anyways, a friend recommended Domino, and i found these lovely rooms:



I like the "Cafe au Lait" wall colour in the first picture and the contrast of the dark wood picture frames. The botanic floral wallpaper in the middle is pretty! but i don't think DH is really into that. And finally, i wish i had space for a feature wall in our home - so many photos and so many mementoes from all our travels that we'd love to display. Maybe our next home, darling?
