I've been decorating my study, too! The walls are painted and I've got new shelves built in; I just need to give them three coats of varnish and all my books can go back. It's such a lot to do, but well worth the effort!
@nicolecampbell Nicole, this darker shade is (strangely enough) called "Hardwick White", which is a sort of grey/green colour. It apparently was designed as a match for old limewash, just perfect for our 1980s house in suburbia!!!
