I wanted our bedroom to be completely immersed in Modern Country Style. Pared-down, simple blocks of colour and gorgeous, good quality bed linen - perfect for the attic-chic look I hankered after!
I'm so in love with the paint on the walls. I could stare at it for hours...and probably have! I chose Farrow and Ball's Light Blue - of course, not a true blue at all, but a dirty grey/green/blue. Incredibly restful, without being wishy-washy. I think it's one of the nicest colours in the world
I love clothes so I knew we'd need a lot of storage. I really enjoyed designing our cupboards. We've got 2 and a half double wardrobes and a large shoe cupboard, which you'd think would be enough for any girl (and her husband!) but I do seem to have a bad habit of expanding to fill the space I'm given!
I remember a story when I was little about Princess Penelope, who had one outfit for everyday of the year. My ultimate ambition!! (That's a joke, Mr Modern Country...).
I really adore how this room has turned out. It was one of the first rooms that we renovated so I was finding my way.
I feel that the design I chose allows the bones of the room, with its lovely old beams, to really sing.
More details to follow...

Lovely pictures, lovely poetic descriptions, lovely room. Thank you, Mrs Modern Country! - Angela
My pleasure!
I love attic bedrooms! And the colour of the walls is dreamy!
Gorgeous - especially compared to the 'before' picture. Really a lovely space!
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. Cannot wait to see more of this space...
It is indeed a lovely room and a lovely bed - a yummy bed in fact! A bed you slide in between the sheets and it feels like your eating it...or its eating you...I'm not sure which...anyway I'm getting carried away!
I particularly like the bedside table with its antique handles.
