So although this is still a work in progress, we have changed the furniture around a bit, and tried to make this room our own usable and attractive space. We have moved the bed down one end of the room so to create a lounge space at the foot of the bed with the tv, couch and chair. The way the room was before meant you had to sit on the end of the bed to watch tv!
This was just a small piece of scrap fabric when I saw it in a shop, the one where I got the blue cushion. The shopkeeper was great, and sewed it into a cushion for me :) The other 2 cushions are on loan, along with 2 lamps from the family I temped for.
The sheet is on loan from my auntie. She said it is a vintage French army sheet. Nice and rustic texture!
The map was Gareth's project. I helped trim it and unfortunatly disposed of Hawaii. Whoops!
Can you see the line of yellow putty down one of the cracks? There is loads of it under that rug!
The mirror was already in the room, as was this painting. Originally I wasn't that impressed with the picture, because the blue frame and green panels on the walls made it look too washed out but with the blue on the cushions it has brought out the detail of the woman. Quite pretty really.
I got Gareth this cushion to "man" the room up a bit!!! It has become his special chair of course.
Ended up just a cream duvet as the room can look a little busy, and once I get a throw or two, it will look a bit cosier!
Love all the victorian details, like around the light fitting and fireplace. Don't think the fireplace actually works, but it's very warm in this room!! The central heating is cranking.
Let me know what you think!!! And please add any ideas...there is still a huge blank wall above the bed.
