Master Bedroom Update, Part 1

This post is more than a bit overdue. Like try a few months late, but I'm trying my best now to catch this here blog up on my recent -productive- activities!  I give props for all you mommy bloggers out there that have daily (even weekly!) posts. Actually, that goes to all bloggers out there- if you have any tips on how to keep on top of posting to your blog on a more scheduled basis, please share!  I think I just need to make the time to sit down and type! and I haven't been.  But my brain just jumps onto the next project on my list, instead of keeping up this baby.

On to the post:
So my husband was never very fond of the wall color in our bedroom. It was painted this way by two owners past (not the ones we bought from, the ones before that). But it just happens to be my favorite color: I call it Blurple. You know the color found in those beautiful blue-purple hydrangeas?

(Before)

Blue Hydrangeas were also the flower of my wedding, so you can see why I hestitated on changing the color in the first place.  Well I guess it is not very masculine in my husband opinion on color.  But his biggest issue was that it was too dark for his taste, and he wanted something lighter on the wall.  Wait a sec, I thought men liked darker rooms?  He and I are often switched, in our lives together, as male-female stereotypes.  ;-)

After much debate and discussion on if we wanted to go through the effort of putting up wainscoting and a chair rail, we decided to go with a light tone over a slightly darker tone in a sage green color to still give it that half tone look.

Bedroom Walls (Progress)

I think the room looks bigger now thanks to the lighter color up top.  We even went as far as to paint the ceiling with the lighter color as well.  (Which is hard to see in the picture above.)

There are still plans to put up a chair rail, to give the room more architecture, but you might have to wait a while longer to see that post. We may even put up crown molding at the ceiling to better show the light green above.  In the meantime, I'll be posting again (what?! Two posts in one day? Unheard of! ;-) on what came next to our bedroom walls...

because I can't miss adding a pic of my little helper
