When we bought our home a few months ago it had not been painted since it was built almost 11 years before. Of course we could not move in without painting so we chose a color and painted it throughout the entire house, all 3500+ sq. ft. Yes, it was exhausting and took us a week, only stopping to eat, sleep and shower. Well after 5 months of looking at walls that are all the same color I have had enough. I started out painting the kids bathroom upstairs. It was so blah and I just couldn’t take it anymore. Here is a picture from before we moved in:
Here is a picture after we moved in:
And here it is now:
At first we were a bit worried it would be too dark but after we put the light fixtures and accessories back up (after painting them white) it looked great. I also made some artwork for the walls, the 2 sunflower pictures in the picture above and another one that is sitting on the counter waiting to be put up. I have a few other decorative things to put up but sometime this week.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I love painting bathrooms! I feel like that is an area of the house you can really be bold in. Great choice of color!
