We have been in our home now for 7months.
The first painting and fixing up was done in the
boys' bedrooms. They both got paint and new bedding.
Their rooms look great. Except for the celery green shag
carpet. But hopefully in the next year we can carpet the whole
house. Then we did the bathroom conversion into a master bath
with a tile shower. WE LOVE IT. It's wonderful.
We ended up with the smallest of the 3 bedrooms so we could have the
"master bath". When we moved in we just kind of "stuck" our
furniture in and called it good.
We decided to tackle the painting and re-arranging on New Year's Eve.
Did I mention that EVERY wall in this house is/was glossy STARK white?
Well, except for the walls with DARK paneling on them.
Ahem.
Anywhoo.
You can see the difference the paint makes.
It was hard to believe that New Year's Eve it
was warm enough to open windows while we painted!
Helped the drying process a lot.
JB is the trimmer/I am the roller.
He is much neater with the paintbrush,
I'm a roll and slop kind of gal! lol
This is the kind of, sort of, finished project.
The bed is not centered in front of the window. I have decided
I'm starting a new trend. The off-centered look.
If we center the bed...I have ZERO room to get out!
The hideous light above our bed will be gone and a ceiling fan installed
the green carpet will go away...eventually. I haven't hung anything on the walls yet.
Will do that soon. Despite of all that. I am so happy with the outcome.
My new comforter(out of the clearance bin) is great.
Another checkmark off my list of things to do!

FUN! redoing makes you feel so good when you walk into that room. Happy weekend to you!
It looks great! I love the color. Very soothing and warm. Have a great week!
LOVE your wall color!!! It's looking fantabulous!
Oh how fun!!! I love it! Looks like New Years Eve was the day for home projects for sure!! :) I love your bed!!! AND oh how color makes such a huge difference! I like to say we've been "cozying" up our house with wall color! GOODBYE white!
Can't wait to see more of your work!
Well done! It's amazing what a difference a coat of paint makes! Just warms up the whole room and really sets off your lovely furniture and that pretty comforter. We've got a lot of the 70's paneling in this old house, but I'm afraid to pull it out. It's a gamble as to what's behind it and I'm apprehensive about re-sheet rocking and texturing. Enjoy your new space!
Love it! Need you to help me pick out wall color!! Cant wait to see it in person!
The house we live in (we don't own) has plain white walls, everywhere. It drives me bonkers. I'm going to see here sometime in the near future if they will let me brighten things up.
Hope y'all are well. friend!
