A nice open plan living and dining area (not the kitchen which is separated by a door). So different from the original dark brown windows which were intrusive and light-absorbing.

Choosing a strong colour for the walls was very important. Summer does NOT exist for 12 months as some would like to believe and almost half the year the light can be soft overcast during the other times of the year. The colour was carefully chosen and imported from England; with so much green (planting) in the front courtyard, a burnt darker yellow stops the colour looking acid. Anything brighter mixes with the green to gives a sharp appearance..this one works.

And last Christmas...full of atmosphere, soft light and pleasure..

The colour comes into it's own at night I think..
