bed furniture plans - Bedroom feature wall before after

bed furniture plans

Three weeks in and all major decoration work to our bedroom is finished! And while it definitely needs a bit of dressing (eg. curtains and some accents in a contrasting colour) I just couldnt wait to show you our Farrow and Ball* feature wall.

Having worked in several historic houses Ive always loved Farrow and Ball paints, the first time I came across them was seeing the gorgeous Ballroom Blue in the Bath Assembly Rooms - quite an introduction. So its a bit of a dream come true having a drop of Farrow and Ball in my own home! I knew I was after a mint/duck egg colour for a feature wall in our bedroom and found this in Teresas Green No. 236. Choosing simply from the colour chart and online pictures was a bit of a worry but its exactly the colour I was hoping for. It was really nice to paint with too, quick drying and has a nice chalky finish (we used estate emulsion).

So heres the before...

and after!

This is the only room in the house where I can picture the finished look - I had it decided after just our first viewing! As you can see weve painted the other walls a brighter off-white (they were cream previously) and painted the woodwork in brilliant white. You cant see it in the pictures but weve also put down new cream carpet, so all in all it is brighter and feels much more like our home now!

Right, Im off to go and stare at my new wall. And buy some curtains.
