My New Room - Sort Of

Today was the big paint day. The coral orangey color is out and blue is in. I had originally planned to paint my entire bedroom but once I finished the accent wall there was no reason to paint the rest. The gray I had picked out for the rest of the walls is just slightly darker then what I already had. Maybe someday I will paint the darker color (like when I plan to sell the house and move) but for now I am VERY happy with the results.

I was a little worried about mixing the check fabric with the silk but I like the contrast. I also made the coral orangey colored pillows. I love them and they were so so easy. The headboard as it turns out is for a King size bed. But I am going to use it anyway. I like the way it sticks out on either side. I am also very happy with my garage sale night stands. They cost $10 for both. I had to paint them but it was worth it. So anyway let me know what you think of my new room - sort of.

  1. That looks FABULOUS Trina. I remember when you did the peach color it looked good, but I like the blue lots better. Good job. I am starting on Martins today. I will post before and after too.
