Our Bedroom Isn't Scary Anymore
The ugly brown panelling long one wall is still there. As is the old, oooooooooold popcorn ceiling (with gold sparkles), but the green blinds that made you feel as though the room was underwater are gone. We have new honeycomb blinds from Smith and Noble in "champagne," and it's an entirely different room. It's brighter, it's happier, and you don't cringe when you go into it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
What a difference a change in color can make. I actually spent part of the evening lying on the bed reading a book. Because I wanted to be in there. It felt cozy, rather than cold (I'm using emotional temperatures here, not physical sensations).
And we ordered new lights this week from Hubbardton Forge for the bedroom, hallway and dining room (which echoes the look of the living room light). This is going to be such a nice house we won't want to leave.
