Looking from the closet, here's the view of a jillion doors. The first one is the actual door to our room which leads straight to the stairs (and to the left of it is a window on the other wall), then there's the door to a second little walk in closet (which we use for storage-holiday, camping and whatnot), and then the door to our bathroom. Between these three and the closet doors, the poor room has no wall left!
Eli ripping off wallpaper. We took out the shelf with plans to put in a shelving system (which we have done since this was taken).
Pulling up carpet tacks, and thankfully I had no belly yet or it would have made all this bending over pretty hard!
Did we paint the bedroom bright granny smith apple green? Sadly, yes. We used Sherwin Williams Harmony zero VOC paint, and needless to say were not happy with it. The paint was so thin and took numerous coats to apply, and it was nothing like the paint chip. The color I choose looked a lot more subtle! It did tone down over the next few days as it dried, but it still did not help. Oh man. We moved our stuff in anyways, I didn't have the time or energy to repaint!
Later after Baby was born, I had a chance to repaint. I choose this really soft grey (something from Martha Stewart), but the guy at Home Depot wouldn't let me color match it to the paint I wanted, and we ended up quickly choosing another swatch. Too quickly. In my opinion, it has a lot of purple undertones in it...which was not what I was going for. And I think it's way to dark (the picture looks a lot lighter) for all the doors we have in the room. I think a lighter color would prevent so much attention to all the white doors and make the room seem a lot more open. I need to get better at picking out paint. Repainting is becoming too much of a trend!Oh and Babyy's crib (and elephant humidifier!) got relocated to our bedroom.
