OK, so after much waffling on and faffing around - I finally got it done. And I love it. I also painted the other walls the same grey that the rest of the house is painted.
I'm kicking myself a bit though because I got so fired up on a mix of dark chocolate, Foo Fighters and Tony Bennett, that I forgot to take before photos. Oh well. Suffice to say, imagine a lot of mucky old off white with lilac accents. Yeah, nice.
I am so swept off my feet in love with that suzani, can hardly explain. And seriously, what a bargain. Take a look back through here and here for the eBay store that sent this stunner all the way from Uzbekistan.
Thanks for putting up with the aforementioned waffling and faffing - now we can resume normal transmission!

Good on you, looks great. I have a charcoal wall in my entry/stairwell and love it. You won't be sorry.

I really love the way you write, it always makes me laugh. You're just too funky for words! Love the black wall - drama, drama! Rachaelxx
A big thumbs up from me. The black wall is great but that suzani is something extra. Love it all.
Oh fabulosa darling, so sexy and chic.
You did great to do this yourself, I'd still be lolling around eating choc's and hoping I could rope someone else into doing it.

Jules, it looks fantastic! Gives so much depth to the room, and works so well with your suzani.
