back when we bought this house, way too long ago, i took it upon myself to paint every room in the place. not such a horrible thing when it's an empty house and you don't have kids.
by the time i painted our bedroom i had kind of run out of ideas and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. i ended up picking a color which was called elephant herd, we called it elephant turd, and i used plastic bags to make some sort of pattern. when it was all done i wasn't really sure i was sold on it. everyone else said they liked it, but i just wasn't sure.
so finally, almost 9 years later, i decided to redo it. i found a duvet cover i liked and a bunch of accent things and really loved the end result i saw in my head.
on thursday i decided to start painting once i put talan down for his nap. i figured it would take me all weekend seeing as though i could only do it when talan was in bed and the fact that i would probably only be able to paint one wall at a time while i moved all the furniture from one side of the tiny room to the other.
i ended up shocking myself when i had completed 3 of the 4 walls by the time i had to get talan out of bed. and as soon as dave came home, i had him help me move the furniture so i could finish the last wall. on friday, the walls were dry and i was able to move the furniture back in and when dave got home that evening he hung up some pictures. then on saturday dave hung the new blinds and the room was done! i am VERY happy with the outcome. just what i had pictured. and that doesn't usually happen.
here's what i did:
