Right chaps, I have a darkish dining room that's quite scruffy, so we're about to pimp it.
I'm thinking of Borrowed Light from Farrow and Ball for the walls, and I need to think about: fabric for reupholstering the Victorian style dining chairs, new pencil pleat curtains, possibly a bargain antique sideboard, wall lights, runner for table, some elegant accessorisation.
I am going for a very classy I-may-live-on-a-naff-housing-estate-but-fuck-it-let's-go-for-the-full-Downton look.
In the room there is also a walnut upright piano, antique glasses cabinet, wall mounted vintage wine rack from a Champagne house, some bookshelves around the piano painted in F&B Parma Gray, some antique map prints, and I've got a fair bit of crystal and silverware lying around to add to the ambience.
