Our house, is a very very very fine house

Since I've been banging on about my new house and how I'm too busy on account of my new house, BEHOLD:

My dining room, and me reading Wolf Hall in my lounge (incidentally, I'm now on to Bring up the Bodies and am a little in love with Thomas Cromwell) - who says you shouldn't paint your rooms grey?

Speaking of grey, if any one can recommend a lovely, cruelty-free grey nail varnish, please let me know! I can only find sparkly ones.
