More from my summer traveling Europe - amazing Rome

We had a crazy 5 day whirlwind tour of Rome, which left me exhausted but in awe.

We have an antique white colour bedroom suite (same as the photo attached but the only difference is ours is antique white in colour).We would like our room to be cosy and elegant,with loads of neutral colour and loads of dark wood.
