Color: Bedroom Before + After

Last weekend, below, in my bedroom.


Color change.  Vintage linen ceiling & walls were too dark for north facing windows.


Now, Benjamin Moore Sundress walls & White Dove ceiling + trim.



Calm, above/below.  And the template copied.

 Ordered headboard & sofa, below, from Susanne Hudson.  Sent her the 2 pics above, she mailed fabric samples & asked dimensions.


Not quite 'after', above.  Still playing with art, lamps, pillows, tables, chests, etc.  A Sheraton sideboard with tv is opposite the bed.   Who knew a bedskirt & rug would be the most difficult to find?
.
Chuck, top pic, has helped me for several years.  His job, appraiser, lost to the economy, along with most everything he owned.  Yesterday he closed on a house.  With hard work & a good attitude this man has done it.  Happy for him & so proud.

Garden & Be Well,   XO Tara

Gregory's Paint & Flooring is my Benjamin Moore dealer.  Send all my clients there.  It's as if you've hired an experienced, trained assistant, that cares.  No, they have not paid for this infomercial!  I appreciate their service.

Fearless, you are! Not afraid or ashamed to show your ceiling fan ... a necessity in the bedroom, but one that we try not to admit to having.

Love your inspiration ... does this mean that the closet is next?

Stunning and serene - I remember when you said you were going to do that months ago. Perfect!

Am about to move into more spartan digs...armed with 21 years of some living since I last rented!

Beautiful room, beautiful bed. And yes, we all need a ceiling fan in the bedroom!

Stunning. Serene. And the cassock just the right touch of oomph. Like a sheep dog curled up waiting for you to rest your feet on it.

Beautiful room. We like the same kind of peaceful vibe in a bedroom. The picture of the room that is white with yellow accents (and that heavenly furry tuffet) is from a real estate listing here in Atlanta - it's a small house, exquisitely done, and has not sold yet because it is very expensive for the size, yet well worth it. I have studied that bedroom many times.

I have a fabulous place that makes bedskirts, pillows, curtains, etc. Headboards too, but you are all set there. Let me know if you want the name.

it's amazing what a different color paint can do in a room and, re the ceiling fan...why not show it? It's warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer...yay for stuff that works and works well!
