Not much to look at.
Really sad looking room.
Love the overall look of this room.
Loved this striking blue color. So I love the look of the top picture. However, I wanted to make more impact with the paint color. So I decided that I would "meet in the middle" with a color by the name of "embellished blue" . You can't go wrong with Embellished Blue can you? Well this was the result...
Yikes!
Trust me. It looked worse in person. Due to my current condition, I wanted to avoid the paint fumes so my wonderful husband and brother David painted the entire living room. After David went home Danny and I were sitting on the loveseat looking at the walls. I asked him what he thought of it. "It's really blue" he says, trying to spare my feelings. I blurted out that I hated it and then proceeded to cry. I woke up that next moring not hating it as much as the night before but then my mother told me that all I needed was pink flamingos on the wall. So... I painted it again. My mother offered to help which Iwas great because I didn't want to put Danny and Dave through that again. We picked out some fabric for drapes and took a color from that. And here are the results...
Much better!
My beautiful drapes mommy made for me!
I still have a lot I want to do. I want to bring some hints of orange, chocolate brown and zebra print. It's a lot of blue right now, but I love it so much more that both of the before pictures!
