Just a few photos I took on my iPhone of my Dad's study. He likes Georgian colours and furniture, so it's quite cosy, with darker colours than elsewhere in my parents house. It's also quite lived-in as you can see by his built-in bookcase, stuffed full of art history books! 
Most of the room is panelled, painted in Farrow and Ball, 'Vert de Terre' eggshell paint. The fireplace wall is covered in Farrow and Ball's 'Bees' wallpaper in the Arsenic colourway, I think. The colour scheme with all the giltwood is quite Napoleonic, especially with the Bees wallpaper-apparently the bee was the personal emblem of Napoleon!
I also like the antique french mirror and pelmet above the curtains, even though they are quite shabby!

it is absolute perfection, and that lived in look just can't be faked. That's what I love about it!
