Right here is the place we began:
The earlier than: A darkish brown wall, brown floral curtains, medium blue partitions with brown painted bamboo on an accent wall.
Right here it’s now! I can’t consider how a lot lighter and cheerier it bought in right here simply by portray the partitions (Misty by Sherwin Williams) and swapping out the curtains. The ceiling gentle nonetheless stays for now…dwelling takes time, proper?. 🙂
It’s so candy to think about this room as soon as being a beloved children’ house for the household who lived right here earlier than us. I even observed little marks on the ceiling that had been in all probability from glow-in-the-dark stars, similar to those I had in my room as a baby. It warmed my coronary heart. Now it feels additional particular to be making a childhood bed room for my very own son to develop up in. I hope it’s a room he’ll keep in mind endlessly!
