I’m talkin’ full painting-frenzy game-changer right here:
The “Don’t Cease Believin’” Pandora Radio station.
It’s true. Snow White’s seven dwarves who whistled whereas they labored? They have been onto one thing.
So 80s rock jams are formally the soundtrack of our master suite makeover…
UPDATE: See our full master suite makeover reveal right here!
Anytime Robert and I bust out the facility instruments or paint brushes, Journey or Queen is blaring all through the room.
We make it a dance / DIY date, often with Olivia leaping on the mattress together with our tunes.
So final week, whereas I used to be sharing Half 1 for a way we constructed our DIY planked board and batten focal wall, I used to be caulking and portray away like a mad lady.
I looooove (okay, erm…actually actually likity like) the way it turned out!
I went with the colour Sherwin Williams Alabaster in semi-gloss for the planked wall, and I feel it could be my favourite shade of white ever. It’s the proper creamy white, not too stark white and never too yellowy, excellent.
A couple of years in the past, should you had requested me what my favourite shade of white was, I might have checked out you such as you had three eyeballs in your head. It’s bonkers what number of white shades are on the market and the way fully totally different they will look in a room.
The Alabaster paint doesn’t match our rest room and closet doorways in any respect, however these are about to get switched out for one thing fancier anyway.
We’re nowhere near being completed in right here, and we have already got extra updates to point out you guys, however that is actually step one that has felt like an enormous leap.
I have already got a reasonably good thought what I need to hold over our mattress, however I’m curious, what would you place there? A mirror? Artwork? Fake taxidermy? Wreath? Depart it clean?
After having our cover for over two years, I lastly picked up this ticking stripe one at Ikea final week. Our bedding feels a lot extra luxurious with that further weight now.
Right here’s the place we’re on the ol’ guidelines:
- DONE: Paint partitions (Benjamin Moore Moonshine)
