NEW ROOM

Does anyone remember these pictures?

pretty bad huh? Back in the fall I painted the walls a creamy yellow and got rid of the gold stripes and the gold baseboards.

I also ran out of money so I couldn't finish the room. OOps

So this past month I have been working on finishing the room. I was determined to have the room be a green, yellow, and dark red color scheme... well it didn't work out quite that way. No matter what I looked at in those colors I just didn't like it. I struggled for weeks and weeks about those colors.

Finally I decided to find curtains that I liked and work from that.

Emmi chose these dark brown panels with polka dots of brown, yellow, green, and blue.

I have always hated the color blue in a home.

Blue/grey....fine... but Blue....NO no no!

So at the time I told her I didn't like them and we kept looking...only to come back weeks later and buy those panels.

So then I looked at pillows to match those curtains and found the beautiful things on my couch. I paid an arm for them, but I fell in love. After those pillows the room just seemed to fall into place.

I'm mostly done, except the cubby with my computer. That will take a bit longer to do because I need to buy a new desk and shelving and such. But I am so very happy with what we have done so far.
