Our new bedroom...

So when we first moved into our house, Steve and I painted our bedroom. I don't have any pictures of what it looked like, but the color was "Antique White" which as you can imagine was very similar to white. It was a light cream color. After a few months in the house, there was still something bothering me about the master bedroom. I thought about it a lot and then finally I had an epiphany and realized maybe it was the paint color. I told Steve that I wanted to paint the bedroom again, and he wasn't exactly excited to do all that work again, so he told me that I could paint it whatever I wanted if I did all the work. So I took him up on his offer.

I chose a kind of mocha brown color called "Warm Nutmeg." I thought it would provide the necessary change that I was looking for since it was such a contrast than what we had before. So Monday and Tuesday night I worked my booty off to get it all done. You can tell I'm usually the one to take pictures, because I don't have any of me painting. These are just a couple pictures after the first coat.


After painting the first coat, I had that moment of, "Oh my goodness, what did I just do?!" The color turned out to be a little darker than I thought it would be and it was definitely a shock at first to have such a dark color. But after moving all the furnature back and hanging up all of our pictures with new matching frames, our room looks really great now! We still don't have all matching furniture and need curtains and a new vertical mirror, but we'll get there. Even with that, we finally feel like we have a grown-up bedroom. We love it!



My favorite part of our room is these shelves with some of our meaningful figurines and pictures.
