A DIY Weekend, I painted my music room black and I love the result.

By de la Maré Investments and Acquisitions

It was a big ask but I had to take a few days off music practice and composing to focus on getting the apartment 'Instagram ready'. Originally white, to show off the art collection in a White Cube style, I finally plucked up courage and went for it.

The result is life changing as I swanny around feeling dramatic and theatrical, even first thing in the morning. Also, I can now see the cat who has been camouflaged for years.

It was all done on a budget, around £6o for the paint. It is a work in progress as I prepare it to be the backdrop for my new Gilded Muse pop up gallery and shop for the AURA website.
