DIY: Bedroom Paint – DONE

We finally got back around to painting the bedroom. The previous owners had attempted to get artistic with texture on one wall in the master bedroom – but had never painted it. So it was this really ugly grey. And once they moved out we discovered they had stretegically placed a mirror over this big ole water stain in the middle of the wall.

So back when we painted the living room (wow, January!) we started taping the bedroom wall too, but got burned out (painting sucks!) and just now got back around to it this weekend.

So here are the before pics:



And here are the during & after pics:

(note in the picture above, you can see the half-ass primer job we did. See how some of it is grey, and some is an off-white? The oyster was left over from an early attempt in the living room, so we used that to “kind of” prime the wall.)


Although Keith is always the one painting in the pictures, I would like to point out that I paint too. He only likes to do the roller, so I end up doing the edges and touch-up. And I grab the camera. ;-)

By the way, don’t you just love the bed? Our “garage sale bedroom suite” where absolutely nothing matches is THE BOMB, let me tell you…

    Man! Did that link not work? On Ebay search 'hotel double banded white brown duvet cover set'. But its a Duvet. Not sure what you think about those.

    OK, we have to find you some beautiful bedding to match that pretty wall. Is that a queen size?


    I'm thinking something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/HOTEL-COLLECTION-Color-Bloc... instead of the green, maybe a dark brown color.
