Labor Day Weekend

Well we did it again! I'm a little behind on this one, but Labor Day weekend we decided that it was time to paint an accent wall in the bedroom. We're taking it one room at a time so now that we're pretty much done with the living room, it's on to the next one. The chosen wall...pay no attention to the blue painter's tape...or the MESS! We hastily moved everything away from the wall and piled everything onto the bed in the process. It worked!

Chip said he wanted to pick the paint color for this room and said he wanted something "like the ocean". So we settled on a very serene, ocean-like blue-green color. This picture really doesn't do it justice because it look VERY blue here. I assure it's not like this color at all. It's much darker and greener....more turquoise.

This picture shows it a little better. This was after 1 heavy coat. We decided it needed another one to fill in some of those blotchy spots.

Once again, Kona was not happy that she had to remain on the other side of the fence. She actually cried a little bit halfway through..."Are you guys done yet??" She looks so sad.

Here's the (somewhat) finished product! This is not our permanent bedroom furniture (notice the tv-trays as nightstands) but it works for now! Like I said...once thing at a time :)

Pretty much as soon as we had finished and everything was dry, Kona was back up on her spot on the bed. Our full-size bed doesn't quite look big enough when she's on it! Haha!
