We settle in

And so we began to make a home in our new flat. The beige walls were transformed by Farrow and Ball chalky paints, which I love! We used a pale grey/blue (Skylight) in the sittingroom to make the most of the light from the large bay window and that makes it such a bright room. At night it turns into a cosy haven.

The dark hall was painted a moody grey (Lamproom Grey) turning it into a gallery for our art work, with a soft glow from a table lamp at night turning the space dark and mysterious. 

And the small bedroom was painted a soft pretty blue (Borrowed Light) for the little one,

and we chose a glorious rich burgundy for the main bedroom.

We bought furniture from charity shops, and some pieces from Ikea, and grown up furniture from posher shops. We mixed it all up and gave the space our own feel. And it never felt anything other than home.


How do you make your house a home?
