bedroom redo

Ok, this is not my parent's house in NC which is supposed to be the renovation subject of this blog. This is MY house in NC. I wanted to share how much of a difference some paint can make! When we first moved in, Mark was off bike racing and I was bored and painted the WHOLE room, including 5 doors, brown. Seriously the darkest brown the paint store would give me in eggshell. Well, I've been dreaming of a fresh, LIGHT, new color for a WHILE. I have a little less time these days (plus the aforementioned 5 doors + 6 windows) so we hired it out. Then I added a new bedspread, some art I already had around the house and voila! It is so bright in there that we have still been sleeping in the guest room. Ok, that will just be until we get some blinds! BEFORE:

AFTER:

Bedspread: West Elm Paint: BM "Winds Breath" Nightstands, lamps, and dressers: Ikea
