In case you wanted to know....

If you mix your old paint properly it will still match your walls,unlike the fool who stirred the half tin of paint with a pencil,painted where the walls were scratched by four poster assembly and discovered the patches stood out a mile.So having had a good thunk on why the paint no longer matched,I did the only thing possible,I stirred it with a dinner fork.........yay, woohoo, it worked.
Now to the bedroom piccy.........

and this is the lamp.

 

 So the bed-hanging cost a whole quid,the lamp is a recycled, cobbled together thing,the cushion covers have been gathered down the years,the stripey purple throw came from Camden market years ago,the bed was a freebie,a friend was throwing it away as her hubby was so heavy it sounded like the house was falling down every-time he moved,the lilac flowery bedspread came from mothers house,the mat under the cushions on the home-made blanket box came from a jumble sale for 10p and was then dyed to match everything else........

I hid the crochet down the side of the bed so it wouldn't interfere with the photo,sadly the duster was hiding on the radiator..........
