More drywall dust and painting...

I had kept putting off the renovations that needed done in my bedroom. Well, until this weekend. It wasn't going to get done unless I did it, so I took the weekend off (from work) and got up early Saturday and started.



I loved the blue, but I was going with Comfort Gray, a Restoration Hardware color. Its a blend of green, blue and gray. Depending on how you look at it and how the light hits it, it brings out different colors. Again, recommended by my personal decorator Emilee! :)


The ceiling came down first. Like everything else, this is the quickest part of the process. There weren't too many imperfections underneath so this may be one of the easiest ceilings.


Spackling, sanding...done! Now off to primer and paint. Got one good coat of ceiling primer up, rechecked all the spots. Looked good, so on went the ceiling paint. I didn't, however, take the ceiling fan down yet-mainly because i can't find one I like for the room. So ultimately, when I do, there will be some painting and sanding Ill have to do around the fan spot. But other than that, it looks pretty good.


Had to run out to Home Depot to get some more Comfort Gray, as I thought I had enough but didn't. I went ahead a got a few gallons, since Allisons room is next and my bathroom are all going to be the same color.


Lauren's room is already this color and takes on more of a green tone, but my room seems to take on the gray color. I love it! Ceiling looks good, walls look good. Now off to order a new bedroom set.


Actually before I get a new bedroom suit, I need new carpet. Ill probably work on that this week or next. But Ill probably start looking at beds, just so that I can get something ordered. Then I need to complete my closet. Thats probably going to take more than a weekend! Im going to have to recruit for some additional help!
