I am so excited ... I need to show you ... It's Done!!
Now ... rewind.
Enter: old bedroom.
It was dark. Dark paint. Dark furniture. Dark bedding. Imagine the headboard to match those nightstands, it was dark too. It was dark, really dark.
Paint shopping. I wanted to go light. I had the color of creamy vanilla icecream in mind. I took my paint swatch from my trim along. It was once I got there that I realized that the colour I had on the trim was much darker than I anticipated ... now the dilemma ... do I:
1) Go a shade close than the trim and then risk it looking like a near miss.
2) Go a couple of shades darker than the trim, but then its not really that light anymore.
3) Go a couple of shades lighter than the trim (although I have never been a fan of the "darker trim/lighter paint" look) ...
... so I texted Jade ... with this pile of paint swatches and a big "????"
She was in total agreement with me ... but I wanted light ...
so ... she convinced me to go light.
I am so glad I did. I Love it!
Honestly people, I didn't realize what a paint colour could do.
I went light, really light, and the room seems twice the size.
Paint: Check
New Flooring: Check
started this domino effect in the first place. We attached it directly to the wall.
Put it all together, and you have this!
I had a matching furniture set. I don`t love the ``matchy-matchy`` look, but I had to be realistic, it was a great set and I wasn`t ready to paint it just yet. I took the two end tables and relocated them elsewhere in the house. I settled on keeping the two dressers in the room for storage. Next, I took two recent projects and used them as a mismatched end table set.
On the other side, that old side table renewal, you can see that here
I lightened up the decor a bit.
On the opposite side of the room: the photo collage that you can see here.
Don`t these bowls just make you want to smile :)
And that coffee table turned bench renewal that can be seen here.
