I love colour, but the bedroom is small and, by neccessity, contains many things... including 2 freestanding wardrobes... so a pale monochrome theme was the best option.
The wardrobes were originally a very dark timber veneer which overpowered the whole room, so I did my usual sand and paint job with a colour rather romantically labelled "white swan". The colour of the mantle and the wall behind the bedhead is rather unromantically called "hog bristle". Really nice neutral colour though, which also appears in the living room, but in a quarter tint.
The fire place is boarded over, but I love the look of the mantle, and am embarrassingly thrilled by the picture rails and high ceilings. The beautiful squirrel print on the mantle is by a pair of talented artists called Miso and Ghostpatrol and was a wonderful birthday present from the wonderful Peter.
The scalloped mirror replete with frosted antelope-type-creature is truly a wonder! Courtesy of the beatifully styled Store & Co on Macquarie St Hobart. Note also the $5 glass light shade from the South Hobart Tip Shop.
