I'm feeling a bit
![]() about this.I used to live in a Regency house and my main front room had a much stronger blue/green ceiling, white coving, and same colour down to the picture rail. The rest white, with a restored wooden floor, herringbone parquet, quite pale, William Morris curtains on the two arched windows, and a pair of red persian rugs. It looked LOADS better than any of these, and it cost very little as I was broke at the time. I cut the curtains down, they were ten years old anyway, the walls were white because the paint was cheaper, the rugs were gifts and a mate help me restore the floor. I got a repro fifties sideboard in 'regency' style for fifty quid in a charity shop and some pictures up and it was sort of fab. I moved though.

Rob's room was unbearable, but knew he'd be saved.
