I only have 1 week of summer left!! Can you believe that!!
I realized I better get going on some of my projects before I run out of time.
2 weeks ago Jared and I picked out some paint colors for the bedroom, because the sponge painted metalic pearl paired with dark green and brown was simply not suiting us. You can see from the pictures how dark the room is with these walls.
We went to Home Depot and bought some samples.
The light in the bedroom is very strange. All the colors looked drastically different on every wall! After much deliberation, we threw out the diareah green (jared’s words) and the purplie greys (which didn’t look purple in the can), ending with the white and light green (called Saturn Grey).
I started painint on Friday and was EXTREMELY happy when Sister Jamie and my mom came to visit on Saturday, because they helped me to finish painting. Here are the afters (I had to take them with my iphone becasue I couldn’t find the camera cable to import them). I’ll try to take some better pictures later.
It soooo much brighter! Our next step is to bring in the handyman to instal the baseboard trim (is that what you call it?). Plus I need to make or buy a new duvet cover.
Oh and I need to hang some art on the walls…NOT MORE LEANING PRINTS!!
I was even thinking of painting some sort of mural in the loft area. I found this on Apartment Terapy (one of the best sites ever)
Jared is on the fence about it. What do ya think?
