  • I think you definitely deserve bedding that makes you smile! And the classy understated bedding with matching curtains and light switches sounds trè chic

    Wow, gorgeous! 

    Give me a shout re curtains if you like.  Much much cheaper to buy ready made - I used to make curtains so I know how long they take to do

    Downstairs is now further chaos but I have at least a tape measure so I can measure the windows for some roller blinds until I get to curtains although I have seen a fabric that I'm considering for downstairs

    (they also do ready made curtains in this but I'm not sure they are the right sizes plus I need a blind for the window that sits on the stairs (literally)

    Again my completely neutral restful colours ideas seem to have left the building.





    I think those curtains are not incompatible with a restful environment- they are rather nice and sort of william morrissy luxe feel. 

    I'm a bit jealous!

    Ooh we have a pair of Lucetta curtains in our bedroom, we love them (ours are the mauve colour, ready made).

    I LOVE that duvet set!! 🤩

    I have a set very similar, with flowery curtains and a flowery light shade! 😉 I know it sounds like overkill but the walls are grey (I think faded from a pale blue that they were painted years before we moved in, so unintentionally trendy! 😂) and I have accidentally harmonised by having purple black out blinds, a touch of purple in the curtains, and a touch of purple in the glass lightshade. Makes me happy anyway, and it means Mr KK can have elephants or tigers or cammo colours on his bedding without debate! 😂😂😉
