The Bedroom

Remember all that grey paint talk? well here's a snippet of the finished product. Forgive the crinkled bedding! The photo quality is a bit poor but the wall colour matches the paint chip completely. The colour is called Evening Dove and we used Benjamin Moore Natura Paint- completely non toxic and odour free and safe for mama-to-be to help out and do a bit The paint job isn't terrific so no need to remind us about it should you come by and visit.
