Oh so cosy...

We have an attic room which is going to be our guest room when I get around to giving it a lick of paint. We've rather been working upwards through the house so, as you can imagine, at the moment it's a serious dumping ground.

For a year and a half I've been coveting this picture...



This room makes me want to snuggle up immediately and strikes me as the perfect spare room. Having said that in the summer our poor guests will be less than comfortable if forced to sleep under all that cable knit.

Since I found this picture I've been eyeing up Sanderson plaid fabric but I just can't bring myself to buy any because a) it costs a flipping fortune and b) that room does not lend itself to seasonal Britain.

I'm going to have to let go of 'the cosy room'...unless I ever move to Scandinavia...in which case I'll be first in line for a pair of antlers.
