(a fancy woollen throw), as I could have wrapped myself up in it, but it is only one-third complete. I am pleased with the way it looks though, and the final result will look great draped across my bed (and even greater draped across the new bed I want to get as part of my redesign). I'm thinking of going for an old iron bedstead (an old hospital bed on wheels is favourite at the moment) and trading in my fifties - style dressing table for either victorian wood or Japanese lacquer (not sure which, but either would mis-match nicely). Or I might paint or gild the one I have. I've seen gilded furniture, which looks spectacular. Hmm... maybe pewter-leaf, if there is such a thing.
