I've begun painting - well, okay, priming - my bedroom. I'm nowhere near ready to show you a whole room yet, but here's a shot of the inside of the box window in progress:
The room itself is a medium/pale blue; inside the box window is a deep teal with a metallic gold paint sponged over it.
I'm painting the room white for now, because that's what it was before, and I loved it; and also because white paint is what I have (left over from last month when I spent two weeks painting the old house out in a "neutral" color that turned out to be a bit lighter than I thought it would be (Glidden "White Bucks", which is actually a very pale, warm gray. Very pale). I may change the color later, but for now, I'd really like to be ONE color.
Other plans include purchasing blinds to go into these windows; hanging curtains (blue or white sheers from the old house, not sure yet); and decorating that big, glorious window seat with cushions and plants. I'd also like to replace that window film so that the film is the same on all the panes - something low-e that offers a bit more privacy. (These swirly and frosted-looking bits are lovely, but I can see every detail in that room from the outside, and my eyesight is terrible).
(For reference, the "White bucks" on every square inch of the old house, just after we moved out).
Meanwhile, over the weekend I painted Sylvan's bedroom. I still have to finish the trim and doors in there, and then paint the ceiling; I'll have pics of that when it's all finished, too.
More soon!
