Bedroom Remodel Chevron Stripes

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...
