This post is part of my Ask The Designer series. Hi, I’d love to brighten up our kitchen as i find it quite dark.Its a kitchen/dining/living area combined. Its 25 ft by 14ft with terracotta floor tiles, solid ash kitchen units, black granite worktop,timber ceiling,timber blinds,cream walls with a feature colour on the chimney. I’m only changing blinds and wall colour at the moment(on a budget!)Any colour suggestions would be extremely helpful and my big question is should I paint the timber ceiling or is that risky???? Really grateful for any ideas.
Valentines Day is getting close. But it doesn’t have to be all about red roses and chocolate, sometimes love can be just black and white.
I’ve found some beautiful romantic black and white valentines day gifts for 2012.
There was a time if my better half bought me something for the kitchen for Christmas, he might get it wrapped around his head! I’m not sure if I’m just getting older or if kitchen appliances and accessories are getting more fun, but I wouldn’t mind getting one of these as a gift….

Hello and welcome to my Blog
My name is Karen Hughes and I'm an Interior Designer from Dublin, Ireland. I’m passionate about design and I started this blog as a way to connect with others just as passionate as myself. I tend to ramble on about all sorts of things, projects I’m working on, people, places and things that inspire me (and some that don’t). So put the kettle on, get comfy and settle in. I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to say hello. Visit my website to find out more about my services and view my work.
