The bedroom is painted! Having first been stripped and relined, which took the decorators longer than they expected, and they grumbled a lot about having to strip the ceiling as well as the walls.

Gorgeous! It's going to be a stunning room.

Yes, it definitely works with the sunlight pouring through it! I'm just hoping it still looks good when the curtains go up. I'm having a slightly wider curtain rail so that they can be pulled right back, I don't want to lose any of the glass.

What colour are the curtains?

Same as the bedspread in the earlier post.
