I’m loving the colour. I imagine it to be cosy in the winter and a perfect backdrop for some beautiful plants in the summertime.

I love your revamped conservatory and the green suits it well, smart but cosy.

Looks amazing! Personally I love the dark paint colors, when it's cold outside. Once Spring arrives though I'm back to wanting the lighter colors. Not practical thinking to paint twice a year. Lol Oh and any dog I've ever owned does not like a clean home. They just don't. Only reason I can think of is it disrupts 'their area.' The more it smells of damp clothing the better, for them that is! Lol

Love the colour choice, with so much natural light I personally think it can handle a dark colour...... And even more importantly it highlights Oliver perfectly ❤️ thank you for your weekly rambling; it's warm, funny and inspiring.

You were very brave and it did work out! I love it! The darkest I have gone on our walls is overtly olive in our north facing bedroom - in saying that, I still have a white ceiling and coving! Great photo of Oliver sitting in a very regal position surveying his realm!

Gareth, I just LOVE your ramblings. I genuinely look forward to them so much and they bring such a smile to my face. Thank you!

Also: aren’t you glad you cleaned the glass roof before the snow fell? It looks just picture perfect

Ok. I had to stop reading mid-blog to comment that Oliver in the green chair looks like what my grandad might have! Omg adorable

Thank you so much for today's ramblings... I've even managed to read them early! I absolutely love that green in the conservatory - it looks stunning! Can't wait to see the sofa and am looking forward to seeing your baubles in the near future! 😁 I know I've said it before but Oliver reminds me so much of the late great Clement Freud! We're battening down the hatches for Storm Bert this weekend - I won't be moving from in front of the log burner!

Absolutely love the new colour! I enjoy receiving these updates as I no longer use insta, but I still love reading about your highland adventure!

I really like the colour. I dislike conservatories that are not cosy places to sit, read & enjoy the lovely light. Cannot wait to see Keepers cottage with all the Christmas decor.
