Nous avons Relooké notre chambre

We've been redecorating our bedroom, or 'relooker' as the trendy French verb says!
This started out as a quick repaint in the same colour to cover over the marks which have been with us now for about 3 years.  But ... as is the way with us, ideas got in the way.
 New duvet covers necessitated Sue making matching pillowcases, and then we became inspired by an artist I have recently discovered.  He is Brian Clarke who is actually one of the leading contemporary stained glass artists who also paints.  However he was commissioned to decorate a house in London and his designs were the inspiration for us to paint a motif on our bedroom wall.

 After trial and error with studies on lining paper and then stencils we have arrived at a result we are happy with.
This evening the room was finally set up with the new bedding, all ready for our cat, Cleo, to christen.
