Bedroom renovation is almost complete!

It has been fun getting to share my hard work with you! It has been more work than I have done myself in the past and it has been worth it. Let me just say that I love to paint! It is relaxing and I can clear my mind and just paint without thinking about the other things that usually fill my mind. That being said, I am so sick of painting!! The walls weren't the problem, but the chocolate brown doors were. They are a pain the butt to paint back to white! They have taken at least 3, sometimes 4 coats to cover it and it's still not 100% covered! All the creases and corners are the hardest part. A word to the wise: DON'T PAINT DOORS DARK COLORS!! The next person to paint them will really appreciate it!

So I wanted to give you a complete update on what my bedroom used to look like and what it now looks like! You can look back through my past blogs and find all of these pictures too, but I wanted to lay out the before and afters for you all together right here:

Original paint... I hated it from the moment I walked in! I'm not a fan of brown!

Blue and light gray have been painted. The wall has paneling so that is why the stripes stayed. But those ridges were tricky to paint and keep all the colors from running into the other colors. I didn't use any paint on the stripes, that is all free handed very carefully!

And the final result! I love it!! The colors are bold but not overwhelming!!

I hope you can see the drastic difference that happened! It went from brown tones and a country blue color, to gray tones and a bold navy/cobalt blue! The only color that stayed the same in the whole room was the white stripes! I can't wait to get furniture moved in and decorate!! I will continue to update you when there is furniture in the room!
