Always nice to get a mention in the newspaper. In today's Sunday Mail Justin & Colin recommend McKay Flooring for wood floors.

Tips On Feeling In The Pink
Oct 5 2008 Justin And Colin
WONDER WALLPAPER
To achieve this retro look, we used a graphic paper, Hick's Hexagon from Cole and Son - www.cole-and-son.com - after checking the room was square so that the lines wouldn't appear to run off at the ceiling.
We kept everything else quite plain to provide a contrast and definition.
REMODEL & RELOVE
The most environmentally friendly thing you can do is reuse old goods rather than throw them away.
The boudoir set was a horrible colour but we reupholstered it in pink and painted the frame gold.
Gold buttons transformed it from dowdy dowager to dandy duchess.
CLEAR WINNERS
To stop the room looking like a Keira Knightley lite drawing room, we mixed styles and added a few modern touches.
The glass coffee coffee and occasional tables from Dwell Glasgow - www.dwell.co.uk - give valuable surfaces and keep everything looking bright.
BLOND BOMBSHELL
The room was lightened up with a quality blond timber floor. It is hardwearing and well worth the money as it will last for years. It will also add value to your home.
Check out the hardwood floor range at McKay Flooring in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Livingston (www.mckayflooring.co.uk).
GET THE LOOK
For a taste of this room without the full spend, go for gold accessories and lots of glass vases and mirrors.
Matalan and Dunelm Mill have cushions with gold sequins from £8.
Trawl charity shops for mirrors and spraypaint their frames pink then buy retro glass from car boot sales.
THINK PINK
Pink is a much misunderstood colour but you don't have to be Jordan or Barbara Cartland to have a pink house. These days you can be young and modern and male and still be in the pink. Pink is now seen as a masculine colour with London shirtmakers Moss producing more pink shirts than white ones for city types and even the Marylebone Cricket Club experimenting with pink instead of white balls.
