I LOVE to redecorate. I love the planning, the buying, the doing, the newness, the change. When I finished with the kitchen/living room in January I realized my upstairs had way to much brown. I obviously love brown. Even though I ate through my redecorating budget for the year Chad was ok with me changing the bedroom. I re-used as much as I could to save money and if fabric wasn't so darn expensive I would have stayed under budget. Oh well.

I was nervous about the baby-poop/chartreuse color paint, but once I put the silver metallic glaze over it I love it. If you are into faux painting, I highly recommend Benjamin Moore metallic glazes---I've now used the bronze and silver, and might just try the copper in the bathroom (in 2012). 
Painted the old frames with purple paint from the living room project.
I put the silver glaze on the lamps and used all the pillows from my previous bedding.
Luckily I have oodles of wool felt, so recycling the old pillows just required a couple of yards of fabric for the blue and green pillows. Then I appliqued the flowers/birds/leaves on.
hmmm...I now love BIRDIES.
Brown was fun for a while, but I love the colors of my new room.

Love your new room Kam! If you ever get sick of being a hygienist you defiantly can do interior design!
ReplyDeleteYour room looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the brown, I have tons of it in my house too, but I'm not ambitious enough to do anything about it!
