Good grief


So, this morning, I was sort of at a loss for what to do. Midday, I decided to rearrange the bedroom, to be more like the guest room, with the head of the bed at the window. So, I did that, and it took about an hour. The end result is alright, but the problem was that now there’s a giant, blank white wall.

I thought, you know, I should paint that wall some sort of color. Red, maybe? No, too dark. What goes with blue and green (the color of our comforter)?

Well, after a couple minutes of thinking about it, I decided to do just about the most ridiculous thing possible:

It’s a yellow (at the top) to orange (at the bottom) fade. In person, the fade’s a little more obvious. I think it turned out pretty well. The only downside is that the tape I used to mask the edges tore off the old white paint on the walls. Not good. So, I’ll have to find some of the other paint that I used, though I have no idea what color it actually is. This means I’m probably going to have to paint both the wall with the window, and the ceiling. Yeesh.

That’ll teach me to try something wacky.

    Basically just just had a roller, and constantly just added more and more yellow paint to the paint pan, ’till it was all yellow. Fun stuff!

    (a total pain in the ass.)

    Looks great! With the wall of mirrors, you get two painted walls for the price of one. 🙂

    The head of our bed is at a window as well and I like it. You may find yourself wanting up/down drapes instead of side to side ones.
