We have a lovely grey velvet sofa from M&S that we got at the beginning of the year, but you're only allowed to sit on that on special occasions and if you've been deloused, bleached and are wearing white. It's a nice sofa.
Our other chair was found at the dump and is the most comfortable buttoned velvet armchair you could ever find. It is, unfortunately, a bizarre off green/yellow colour which is kind of blandly inoffensive but also, when you look at it, is ... green. Or yellow. But we love it and one day I'll reupholster and it will be the chair to end all chairs.
Originally this room was the least annoying: the colour was a cream, the carpet a pale green and we could take down the curtains. It also had a super classy gas faux-fire with brass fittings with ultra sophisticated marble hearth. Always got a comment.
The plan in here is to make it calming and light. It has the double aspect with amazing views over the garden which make it a really lovely room.
So far, we've put up shelves and pulled out the fire. As we near the end of the renovation, this is where we are with the heart of the house.
We painted this room Flake White by Fired Earth, bagging the last tin in the Universe if my desperate tracking down of it was anything to go by.
Only the base of the glass boob light's left. I feel a slight nostalgia looking at this photo now...
Note the carpet combo. Oh! How I'll miss that ...
