finishing touches

I know I've been quiet lately but that's what happens when your chief architect and project manager disappears to Paris for a few weeks.

Despite the fact there little actual construction has taken place I have been very busy researching all the finishing touches our bedroom requires. One of these is curtains, which are part of a category I keep reading about called 'window treatments'. Window treatments sound like serious stuff but the phrase just makes me laugh.

Our bedroom is freezing at the moment so curtains and blinds are a priority. I love floral but I dislike chintz and Rahul would hit the roof if our curtains were too pink or girly. This Romo print is floral but graphic and we both love it.

This colour range matches our walls and windows beautifully, and the splash of red should give our room a burst of warmth. I keep buying raspberry red flowers for my bedside table so I think that's a sign to move forward with something in that colour range.

In other news I am loving this book by Megan Morton. It's full of beautiful but vastly different spaces. And it's nice to get inspiration from somewhere other than blogs!

We've also narrowed down the choice of wardrobe door handles to these two Mother of Pearl and Sons handles. My photography does not do either of the handles justice so it's hard to tell that the white one is actually inlaid mother of pearl. We're still waiting on actual wardrobe doors to be completed and installed. In the meantime Rahul suggested that we use them as door handles on our regular doors which would look both adorable and hilarious due to the minute size of these handles.
