Sometimes a simple remodel is in order...
A couple months ago I took, what I would call, a big leap and added a wall in my bedroom to create a baby's room. I have a fairly big bedroom. It's not really wide but it is really long. I figured when the baby is out of my room I would have a nice walk in closet. Or a craft room if I choose...
I am just sharing the main wall with you today. I will share more with you later. When I finish the baby's room I will share that too. I am planning on using the colors yellow, grey, and teal in the babies room (kind of to keep with the colors that I went with in my room). I am not sure in what way but I am thinking I would like to do circles on the walls. Not sure on curtains or any of that at this point either.
Before
When I decided on the colors for the redo, I pulled them from the comforter that I purchased (shown in picture). I always felt that grey and yellow were a good color combination.
I removed the wallpaper, cleaned, and primed all of the walls. I then painted the ceiling white and the walls a grey that was suppose to match the grey in the bedding. It ended up looking a little more blue than I liked but since I purchased two gallons of the paint I was sticking with it. I highly recommend that you purchase a few color samples before buying the paint. I really wish I would have!!! Oh well, it still looks nice.
After the wall paint dried for a couple days, I used painters tape to create the chevron stripes. I was stressing over it a lot because I was afraid to mess up. I didn't though and I am so happy with it.
After
This picture was taken right after I finished painting and before I even decided on what I was going to do about lamp shades etc. I have since made that decision. I ended up going with white lamp shades and I spray painted some picture frames that I had the same yellow as in the comforter. Then I hung them on the solid color wall to the left of the bed. I am still contemplating on whether I should take the ceiling fan down and paint that. Maybe just the blades...
