LOOKIE!



Sorry it's taken me so long to post the "after" picture of our new foyer ceiling light.  This is much more in tune with the rest of the house.  We got it at Lowe's and it was super super reasonable in price.  I love the design and how it looks where it is, but it doesn't throw off the same brightness of light that the other one did and that took some time to get used to.  The hallway has another very plain dome light and we did replace that with virtually the same dome light only in brushed nickel rather than gold and if we need more light there, we can turn that on.

Last weekend I FINALLY painted our master bedroom.  It's been contractor white for almost 8 years.  I just had no clue what I wanted to do with it.  When we moved, I didn't buy new bedding.  We had a white, forest green and purple floral Waverly print that I liked, so I continued to use it because I wanted to focus on other areas of our new house for decorating.  Our bedroom wasn't a big priority....I was just so happy to have more than one bathroom now...lol!  A couple years later, the bedding was starting to look worn, so I did replace it was a nice set from JC Penney's and I went with a bronze, gold and teal (what was I thinking?) heavy tapestry look.......it was very rich looking but I got tired of it fast and it snagged and pilled something awful, but we lived with it for another 5 years.  Last summer I decided I wanted to change it.  I had finished what I wanted to do in the rest of the house as far as decorating went, and was ready to do some wall color.

I wasn't going to paint the whole room because the room has 18 foot high ceiling and it would be a PITA to paint and the Sherwin Williams Dover White isn't a bad white, so I decided to paint the biggest wall behind our bed a coordinating color once I found bedding........little did I know that would be easier said then done.

To be continued.........
