Beautiful Bedroom!!

There's nothing like having company TOMORROW that gets you painting your room TODAY!!

Lol!! This was my room in January, as it had been since we moved in. Gag! pink and grey, with a lovely (retch) border that was pasted on then protected with trim that was caulked, glued and nailed to the wall. Grrrr. In February, I ripped off the border and wood, which totally ruined the walls. Soooo awful. I was procrastinating the mudding, sanding and painting -until we ended up with billets from the African Children's Choir. You may have noticed that we live in a three bedroom townhouse and there are six in our family, so this was gonna be a full house! We were very excited, but I needed my room for guests, and didn't want them in a disaster zone!! So I redecorated in a day!! What do you think?

Before
After






I like it. The walls are still pretty damaged, but I got the paint for free from my mom, which is always a blessing! It's wierd painting 'peach', but I think it works!! I'm sick of brown walls, which is still all the rage, it seems!!

Hugs, Char

P.S. More about the Choir later!!
