Bedroom Transformation

Well as promised, now that our bedroom make over is just about finished, I have posted some "Before" and "After" photos to show the transformation.
About 20 years ago, the exact year has vanished in the mists of time, we decorated this room from scratch with a lovely Zoffany wallpaper and fabrics and bought some traditional mahogany furniture. Approximately 10 years later we decorated again with new carpet curtains and wallpaper. This time we kept the same furniture and some of the Zoffany fabric that I still loved.
At this point in time I visited India for the first time, whereas Paul was already a regular visitor with his job going out to inspect suppliers of mangoes, poppadoms and spices. We had collected quite a few artifacts of interest like cushions, statues and woodblocks and so we decided to have a bit of an Indian theme going on, using quite a bit of gold paint and rich colours.

Before 1 - Golds and terracottas, framed prints
of  maharajahs and silk cushions

After 1 - Greys, cerise pink and bold yellow,
velvet throw and my embellished cushions
and wallpaper I designed for my FMP



Before 2 - Mahogany wardrobes,Zoffany
fabric on doors and silk curtains 

  



After 2 - Same wardrobes painted to match new
furniture, new curtains at window and doors



Before 3 - Canopy above bed and rocking
chair  with more cushions

After 3 - Canopy gone and wallpaper now
the feature, still needs a chair but the one I
want is out of stock

We still aren't quite finished as some of the plain walls need some artwork, our Georgian chair for the dressing table has gone off to be french polished and upholstered and I'm still hoping to get a small chair in grey felted wool but apart from that it's done! I have had some very positive feedback but I still wonder if people are just being polite knowing that I designed the wallpaper. Honest comments welcome.
