Yeah.. I totally go through phases. First it's white, then it's yellow, then it's polka dots... Who knows. Anyway! We redid the bedroom, and (NEWS FLASH), I'm in lurve. I thought I'd take you through each step.
It might look subtle at first but don't let your eyes fool you... It's not.
Phase one: "Former Owner's Leftovers" (aka dirty mauve flat paint, or sick and disgusting) 'Scus the mess.
Phase Two: Martha Stewart's Opal. Beautiful color, but honestly, not for us. It was exactly as the name described it. The color shifted from gray, to white to blue and then purple. I guess that's fine, but as a wife, I feel bad making my husband sleep in a baby blue room. After a year of being unhappy with the results I finally changed it.
Phase Three: Martha Stewart's Lamb, or white perfection. It is a warm white with a smidge of green, but not enough to really call it green. We replaced the curtains with some beautiful Pottery Barn nubby cotton drapes, and then we hung up a bit of art. Not only does the room feel bigger, but it feels cleaner. I can't believe what a can of paint can do.
So... that's what's goin' on at our house.
On a side note. Please join me in mourning the loss of the Pats to the NY Giants. I'm shedding a tear or two tonight.

It really made a big difference. I also like the new curtains hung higher. It looks bigger and cleaner. So weird. I wish it was easier to pick the right color the first time.
