Farrow And Ball Parma Grey Bedroom
It's charming isn't it? This room upset me greatly. Tucked away at the back so quite easily avoidable but there nevertheless. Like hairy toes. Or 'bacne'. But because there was so much else to do we'd left this room well alone.
But then it was time to sort it. If we made the worst room nice, the whole house would feel better right?
So each visit Peter would dismantle a particularly hideous aspect of it. First the nasty rusty water tank which was on the wall was yanked, sawed and yanked again off the wall. Then a sledgehammer was taken to the concrete units and sink. I attacked that myself with great gusto imagining all the things that irritate me. Like bad shoes. The rain. People calling me Vicky. Peter uses the same technique when we go running together – if I look like I'm flagging he gets me to get fired up by listing things he knows make me cross. Crocs on adults can usually get me an extra half a mile….
And then we started painting everything white.
And this all coincided with a visit from Petra and Stu so we got Stu to help paint the ceiling. And we rewarded him with confit of duck and some Madiran in the evening. Plus the knowledge that he was helping his friends with their insane French folly. The general consensus among our friends seems to be 'amazing thing to do – but we'd never do it'. And I take their point. But after a lot more poly filling, painting, and brocante buying our room finally looked like this! Ta da….
The walls we painted Farrow and Ball Parma Grey and the mix of mid century modern furniture is all much longer stories which I'm going to save for another day! Or another blog post. And over time we added more and more stuff to the walls etc so it now really looks like this and is what we refer to as the kids sitting room.
