The bedroom is all painted! One room down, eight rooms and a hallway to go. Every wall in the house was painted a very light blue/grey color (or maybe they were supposed to be white and just really dirty) and on top of that, they hadn't been washed in forever. And by forever I mean it is literally possible that they had never been washed...
We decided to stick with the green/brown color scheme to match our comforter and the few accessories we were planning to keep. Since the furniture and our huge print from Ikea are all dark, we wanted to go with a lighter color for the walls. We finally settled on Olive 3 from the Laura Ashley Home collection, although this barely got approved by Josh since he didn't like the name. We decided to do a bright white trim to make eveything look extra clean.
Here is the before:
We also got this awesome light from Lowes:
Way better than the generic globe with ceiling fan (see before picture). Even better, it perfectly matches our bed and the dresser we plan to get.
So here's what's left for the bedroom:
- Finish floors (to be done this week, hopefully)
- Install closet
- Move furniture in
- Accessorize (rugs, window coverings, etc)
Hopefully by next week we can be moved in!
