Decorating

Things have been topsy-turvey here for a while as my bedroom has been decorated. I was just about trusted to choose the colour for the walls and carpet which are very pale to try and give the room a light and airy feel. There were a few 'discussions' over the curtains and in the end I just bought them. I think they're a nice splash of colour, I don't think Grumps is convinced though! I had to shorten the curtains a little and used the off cut to make a runner for the chest of drawers. I decided to make a little quilted runner and pulled some of my hand dyes that work with the deep purple.

I then pieced them and came up with this.

This is the back of the runner, the curtain fabric will normally be on top, I think this many colours in one place would be a step too far for Grumps!

I now have a lovely bright room and with this old armchair I have a place that I can sit to knit or read in peace and quiet. Lovely.
