Sam’s Nursery: A Work in Progress

We finally painted Sam’s bedroom! 

You will probably laugh at me when you see these before and after pictures...because it almost looks like we didn’t paint at all! 

We painted the room a lighter neutral than it already was…so it’s not a huge change!  This before picture does not portray the level of hatred I have for the color it used to be.  To me, the neutral tan that our home was painted when we moved in looked dingy and definitely had shade of pink and mauve in it that drives me crazy.  I’m slowly eradicating it from every inch of my house.

Here’s a better picture that shows the dingy color our house came in:

I plan on painting this hallway the same pretty blue as the loft…I just haven’t gotten to it yet.  Maybe someday we can get rid of those awful boob lights too!

This is what Sam’s room looks like right now:

See? Not a huge change.  But it’s lighter and brighter and a better backdrop for the colors I have planned for this room. 

Since Sam is now sleeping here, it makes it a little tricky to get some things done {like take these pictures}.  But I’ve already started on some projects and can’t wait to get things going in here!  I’ve already started compiling artwork and sewing a cute pennant banner…so more on those soon!
