    Done the same, although with one eye on selling. kitchen + dining room are in Papyrus, kind of off white to mix it up.
    Goes with everything, makes place look cosy but spacious, white can be a bit cold, easily painted over for dirty marks, kids etc.
    Theres a reason they do new houses in this. Any time I have tried to be a 'bit fancy' with colours it ends up looking s**t. Can always brighten up with pics etc.

        I thought Richart E Grant was in a film with Magnolia in the title. But upon reflection that film was Keep the Aspidistra flying

        If aspidistra is another colour, have you considered painting your house with that? The film was quite good.

          It's difficult getting the streaks in the paint.

          And even more difficult getting the dots:

          Use large bristled brush on a cold day should get the streaks.

          I can manage the spread pattern for the dots!
          Just saying like.

          where there's chaos, there's cash !

          I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

            In 1998 I chose Dulux "Wild Primrose" which was a purer yellow than magnolia, which has a beige/brownish tinge. I wanted a pure light yellow.

            (There must be something wrong with my monitor, when I google that it shows me colours that look more beige than yellow, nothing like my walls. Hang on, when I move the window from one monitor to the other, the colour changes completely. I guess the moral of the story is, don't shop on-line for colours.)

            Magnolia is also a bit to common, it's what builders always use when they don't use white.

              All over Magnolia is fine for a BTL, but Magnolia plus some feature colour on one of the walls is better.

              Natural Whicker is a nice alternative.
              Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                I had something like that on one wall, Hessian or something it was called. Looked very nice.

                  Anyone else have a big helmet and magnetic personality?
                  Some here have a repulsive personality, that could be magnetism.

                  It is white, so stop acting like a bunch of big girls' blouses and call it white.
