We've spent the best part of the weekend remodelling the master bedroom. No - it isn't the image you see above - but my creative direction has been taken from this picture. Lots of old, weathered wood and texture - in a monochromatic pallette with a touch of chocolate and charcoal for extra depth.

We've painted the main walls a chalky white and done a feature wall in a deep steely charcoal colour. This will be offset with rich dark furniture and crisp, fresh white bed linen.

We've pulled up the carpets to reveal some old polished floorboards. Next we need to sand them back and restain and polish them and we're done. Then it's on to the best part .... the decorating!

I'll post some before and after photos as soon as we're finished!
