Isn't that the same color of the living room, you ask? why, yes it is, but it happens to delight us and match our bedding all at once and so we decided to use it on the accent wall behind our bed. It is so dark it makes the yellow walls look almost white, so we are in deliberations about whether or not to paint the rest another color, but for now we will relish our new wall.
The collage of pics on the wall above James' mini-amp is what we "won" at the sibling gift exchange. I normally wouldn't have even thought twice about buying them had I seen them in the store, but they do match our bedding perfectly, so I am glad I picked them.
This is the headboard we found at...wait for it...YES, HOPE Outreach thrift store for $25. I am in love with it. I was planning to paint it, but I kind of likes it just like it is in our room.
I almost moved the picture collage above our bed to another wall, but James loves it there. It just belongs there because it has been above our bed since Kansas. We still haven't added a newborn pic of Preslie. I need my Momma to send me the newborn pics we took that are on her camera still so I can print one. Then, it will be complete. I do adore it with the scripture, pictures, and German illustrations I took out of a vintage song book and children's book and water colored over. That was a labor of love and it is special to us. Crooked on the wall or not. Yes, I know there are thingies you can buy to stabilize them, I just haven't gotten around to it. Soon. Hopefully!
Here is a shot from outside the room. It is interesting how depending on the time of day and amount of light in the room it can look like 4 totally different colors.
My favorite one is the daytime natural light one, but I didn't get a pic of that. Anyway, it is done.
Now, on to the bathroom. Anyone want to help??
Keep in mind this house is over 100 years old.
It is super cute, but we could use a little help from people who have been there done that!
See what I mean? James scraped...now he has to patch and we bought thick textured paintable wallpaper with a damask design to hang. SCARY. We have never ever hung wallpaper.
