Oh dear. It is the early hours of the morning. I have work tomorrow and I can't sleep. I am just sitting here, looking at it, and it is just wrong!! Yesterday we had a new fireplace and fire fitted in the living room. The first step in a total major overhaul of our living room. The first in over 30 years of living here. The first fireplace we chose was lovely but hugely expensive so in a way I was relieved when, after a genuine misunderstanding on both sides ,not only was it not delivered and fitted on the expected date but hadn't even been ordered. I had a good excuse to not go ahead with it, but could go to another shop and buy one that was in stock and could be delivered within days.And was a more reasonable price. In the shop it looked lovely, but now it is here, it is so wrong. What looked white, now looks a cold, bluey grey white. The built in units which are coming next week are a warm off white, the carpet and suite (delivered in two weeks) are cream and the curtains (being made right now) are green with pink and cream in them. We really chose the fireplace in a rush and the lighting in the showroom must have made it look warmer than it does. Unless we win the lottery we can do nothing about it. My DH hasn't even realised how awful it will look when everything else is in place. I know I will literally just have to live with it, but I had looked forward so much to my lovely new room. Nothing anyone can do, but I just wanted to sound off. Sorry.
