painting spree…

February 3rd 2010 in Uncategorized

so far i’ve painted my bedroom and the kids bathroom this week. i would have done more today but michael requested that i make chocolate chip cookies for his group at work. i will probably do either the kitchen or the upstairs hallway tomorrow. i need to clean up kaity’s room today so that i can start moving stuff around and paint thomas’ room either friday or next week.

my bedroom

i bought the bedspread at target when we first moved in here. i absolutely love the color so i took one of the shams to home depot and matched the paint color to it. i think the walls are about a shade darker but i love the way it looks. it’s darker than the original light light blue walls but i think it makes it more welcoming for sleep (and whatever else happens to happen). i hope eventually to find bedside tables that will match (somewhat) the bed. no luck so far with the light wood color of our bed.


kids' bathroom

it’s really hard to get a decent picture of the kids’ tiny bathroom. the walls are a pearlescent pale cream color. i really love the color! i bought a chocolate colored shower curtain that i thought looked like a nice compliment to the color on the walls.

i was pretty ambitious yesterday.  i painted the upstairs hallway in the morning.  it went fairly quickly though it needed two coats to cover the ugly mustard yellow that the previous owners left.

when i was finished with that, i decided to tackle the kitchen as well since i was done with the hallway by 10.  [...]
