After our ceiling fell in last October, the re-plastering has at last dried out and we've had the room repainted. This was an opportunity to notice how nothing really looked good together in that room, so to make some changes. The top picture is of our chest of drawers as it looked for the last few years, courtesy of Ikea (see here). I painted the frame of it with some pretty good multi-surface black paint, which has a nice matt finish, and then wallpapered the drawer fronts and side panels in this monkey-and-pomegranate paper. The paper was quite expensive, but as that was our main expense, that was okay. Now it looks more inkeeping with the dressing table and the warm, gold lights. And the monkeys are very cheering.
