new colors

A couple of weeks ago Marjo and myself (Lena) made a trip to Thessaloniki.
We had a great time with shoping and lots of good food, time to talk and we went to the cinema!
We were feeling very spoiled and enjoyed every minut of it!
Our main goal with the shoping was to find something new for the church -we felt it needed some colors.
We first went to Leroy Merlin and was looking at their fabrics and curtains -no they didn't have anything we thought would fit. Soon enough we moved on to Ikea and this is where we did our serious shoping :-) We already had a new cover for the sofa (that me and Kenneth didn't need anymore since we moved out of our appartment). We can't say we had a lot of options but in the end we where happy with what we bought. All we really bought was fabric for the cushions -but I was busy for a few days making them. And! we bought lamps. The old ones was in really bad condition and in a couple of rooms there was no lamps at all.
In the hall we chose a pink color that was nice with the gray we already had. In the church hall we needed blue since we thought that it is the best to go with the brown in there.
After making the cushions we were planing to paint one of the walls in the "hall". We had in mind to do it in another pink color but then we thought it might be to much pink so we made it green. We like it.
(Unfortunately the blind is broken and we can't get it up so we still haven't seen the new color in daylight.)

It looks great! I especially like seeing the pictures because I've been there in person so I can picture it in my mind :). I'm mailing my application to DTS in London this week!!
