IOU Pictures!

Okay! Well, IOU pictures of the master bedroom. Last Friday it was another balmy day here in Denver, so I was able to open all the windows and paint our master bedroom finally! As mentioned on Thursday, I already had the paints picked out and purchased... I got Midsummer Gold as my dark accent color, and Slender Reed as my base. I was hoping to at minimum get the large window wall painted in Midsummer Gold and then the 2 accent borders as well while I had the color out and going... but when I finished those I was on such a roll that I decided to keep plugging and did the other 3 walls in the Slender Reed! Woot! I ran out of slender reed before I was able to get one section way up high, but it can wait. I will paint that when I finally paint our master bath this spring. I'm hoping to carry the slender reed into the bathroom as the base color and then use 'Treasured Jade' (a dreamy blue color) as the accent. Fab!

So anyways, it was a huge success and I don't think that these pictures do it anywhere close to justice, I am NO photographer and don't know how to make the flash do magical things to ensure that the colors come across right, but as promised, I'm posting some pics.

Also, please excuse the furniture mess that is my master bedroom. We fully intend to stain our nightstands to be more of a mahogany color, and then we have the dresser to match but it hasn't made the move up to the new house yet... 7 months later... still waiting... grrr. And then all our furniture will match. I'm also hoping to make us an apholstered headboard that has light/sconces built in. I know, I have high hopes, but maybe someday HGTV will come help me. HA! :)

Enjoy!
