Painting Phase 1 Complete

Yesterday I sucked it up and decided to go for it and it didn't take me nearly as long as I thought it would. I love the results! I actually am contemplating painting the ceiling gray as well... someone will have to tell me if that's a good or bad idea.

The next two steps are the baseboards and then the molding around the room to separate the blue and gray. Which should be fun. Just need to find a miter saw and nail gun; which I think I've already done. 

Wyatt liked it yesterday and this morning told me he wants to paint his room with red and black stripes. Hopefully he starts to like it again!

Wyatt's Room Update

I have picked the colors for Wyatt's room with a little help from my sister, Andrea. After I picked them out I realized that the colors are already in Wyatt's bedding. So, it must be fate. And thanks to Sherwin Williams and their 40% off sale, I should have all I need. I hope. The colors are also a little brighter than they show below (minus the gray). Can't wait to see how it turns out. 

1. Revel Blue (SW6530). This will be his main wall color up to 7ft on the wall.

2. Sundance (SW6897). This will be an accent color. Probably a few picture frames. 

3. Light French Gray (SW0055). This will be the second wall color from 7ft up. 

4. Organic Green (SW6732). This will also serve as an accent color. I am going to check out DI to see if I can find a new dresser that I can spruce up. His current dresser is about 36 years old and has just about seen it's last day. 

Wild hair. Time to remodel!

I don't know about any of you, but I can only search through pinterest and endless blogs before I want to start a project.

Not really knowing where to start and being on a budget I have decided to put a few dream boards together.

A few months back I decided to switch the theme in Wyatt's room from cowboy to sports. And aside from his bedding, it's all still pretty much cowboy. So I started to look for some ideas and remembered seeing a boys bedroom I really loved. (found here)

I love the idea of this room and am using it as my inspiration. Today I went over to home depot, found two great colors and priced out the mdf boards that will be going around the room. Both these colors on the swatches are a lot darker than they look below. I will probably run over to Sherwin Williams and check out their blues and see if there is anything I like more. But for now, it is between these two.

Midnight Dream

After showing my sister Kate, she thought it would be cool to have the blue and then a light grey above the boards, which I completely agree.

I also found a super cheap and easy tutorial to update the baseboards in his room, here.

So, there we go. I'm excited to be able to get started and show the progress. Hopefully it turns out as cute as I am picturing it in my head!
