Gustavian grey...

It's funny how things grow on you-at first I wasn't sure about painting our sitting room grey, but now I'm really pleased with it!

I covered the lampshade with a remnant of my favourite Kate Forman

fabric 'Roses' which is an antiquey-style pattern (my other favourite of hers is 'Sophia' in grey and pink).

The lampbase was also wood but we painted and distressed it in a darker grey eggshell colour to make it look a bit more French.
