Before and After

 

This gives you an idea of the interior of Ryelands. Although you can see a distant charm it is obvious that almost everything within needs attention. This was my area, and almost from the moment I walked into this room, we call our drawing room, I could visualise how I wanted it to look. It’s funny that, I have always had this ability to be able to just close my eyes and see an image of the end result, some people have told me that this is some kind of gift, and I suppose it could be seen as though. I don’t really question it, I rely on it!

 

So this is the room now, it is my favourite in Ryelands. It is cosy, warm and inviting no matter what season. It has a very feminine feel, which adds to its charm without being too sickly. I have used soft greys and muted pinks as accent colours and have mixed a little contemporary art in with traditional, I love this juxtaposition between old and new.
