Apparently we did not take any before photos of the Master Bedroom. At least I can't find any. However, let me state: the walls had been painted peach and this huge molding was erected at both ceiling and base of the walls. And that was before the grafitti was scratched into the walls and primer slapped over it. Did I mention that the house had been broken in to and grafitti had been painted or scratched into the walls? It had.
Well, we removed all the molding . . . even around the doors . . . and repaired the walls. Then everything was primered and we were ready to start. We painted the walls Behr brand Antique White which came from the same "idea" card that I used for our guest bathroom. My thought behind this was I am painting both bathrooms the same brown color and I know this color will blend well with the brown so as each room is visible from the other I should have an easy flow to the eye. It works.
After everything was painted, my father came in and installed all the trim. He framed out the windows (every window in the house actually - teaching Aaron how to make those cuts on the miter and how to install them), plus both door frames, baseboards, and crown molding. The room looks 200% better than it did, even after we painted.
It is still not completely done. There are a lot of blank walls and we are using our old comforter, one I'm embarrassed to admit how long I've owned, because we haven't found the right new one. I've scoped one out, but it was more than we were willing to pay considering the dog and the cat both like to sleep on the bed and the dog actually likes to nest down into it. So, down the road, imagine this room to actually be accented with red tones - not green - and you'll have a better idea of what we are hoping to achieve. However, in the meantime, here is our results and boy are we happy with them!
See the molding around the ceiling and windows?
And another angle, check out the molding around the door, yes done by father and husband!
And the necessary bookshelves, because we can't live without our books!
Next week, the Master Bathroom.
