Today (and this week) I am
Jessica V.
room painted. What a differance getting rid of white walls makes, I'm
in love with the room already. Have tossed a 13 gallon bag of stuff.
And am working on finding the ambition to move the bed so that I can
paint another wall. I'm sure I'll find it as soon as the latte I'm
drinking kicks in. :)
Plan is to be ready to go pick out fabric for a quilt by Thursday.
Must hurry up and do the blah stuff so I can get onto the fun things.

So.....what color? What is your general color scheme? If dh ever
leaves town long enough, I intend to surprise him with non-white walls
too - with magic sliders, I am sure i can move the heavy furniture.
But, I'll be sure to do it on a day when my chiro is open, just in case.

It's "trenchcoat khaki" with the woodwork in bright white. General
colors scheme is white and light green. The walls will all be done
before I go to bed, the trim is another story. It's done on one wall
and has one coat on a second wall, going from an ugly stain with poly
to white paint is a pain, but very worth while. I knew I was going to
be painting this weekend so I scheduled a Monday evening appointment
with my chiro, and a tuesday morning appointment with my massage
therapist. I need both and a long soak in the tub.

our bedroom-- since DH works 3rd shift it is even a challenge getting
anything done period in that room.

and walls that aren't white. The trim is half done and is going to
stay half done until I have physically recovered from all the painting.
My back feels a bit better after my trip to the chiro but most of all
I'm sore, painting a room is quite the workout. :) Had to cancel my
appointment for a massage tomorrow as my paid work days got switched
around this week. Now to tackle the remaining "stuff" in the room.

I'd like to know all about the bedding and drapes, colors,
patterns,pictures on the wall, lamps, boudoir chair-( when I was a
little kid, I thought my mother was saying 'wood-boar' chair...).

What brand of paint is that, Jessica? I have my bedroom/den walls
painted taupe with white trim and just love it. Very restful. I need
to repaint though, as I haven't for 7 years or so.

It's Kilz paint, they don't just make primer anymore. :)

white sheers. I think I'm going to add drapes but haven't decided
exactly what I want yet.
The room is decorated in eccectic antique dealer style. :) My bed is a
30s metal bed painted white, white striped damask dust ruffle, white
cotton sheets, a cream, pink and green quilt that needs to be replaced
is covered with a light mint green matlese (sp?) bedspread. I'll be
making a new quilt and matching throw pillows of silk and velvet in the
same green as my bedspread. The shade of green is one that I find
quite soothing.
Single drawer nightstands that don't match one is Shaker and the other
colonial, both are maple with mellow old finishes. Matching lamps
adorn the tables they are pottery with *that* green with a cream center
with a hand painted pink flower. This is the most curious thing, I
found them at a moving sale a couple miles away a few years ago. The
lady I bought them from had them given to her by a gentleman in DC, she
had been his housekeeper. Why I asked if she recalled his name I'll
never know, all she could remember was that he raised and showed
dachounds, was originally from Boston and was named Pete, with a few
more questions it was determined that they were from my husband's
deceased great uncle's home.
I've an old dark oak dresser, need to put the mirror on it and another
lamp after I find a shade, lamp is carved oak, a nude passed out on a
Chianti bottle. The bureau matches the dressser, both are Larkin.
Small mahogany late American Empire style vanity with an armless nubbly
ivory slipper chair. Love the "wood-boar" chair. :)
Walls...it's all Japanese. A four panel WWII era screen, silk over
board painted with a cherry tree, chrysanthmums, birds and butterflies,
a woodblock print of a geisha girl, a painting on silk of a geisha
sitting on a rock, watercolor of pink lilies, watercolor of
undetermined flower by the same artist, an oil of a market scene in
Tokyo, and an oil of a gentleman out fishing in a small boat with a
house on stilts & Mt. Fuji in the background. I'll be putting up a
couple of small shelves for a few pieces of celedon glazed pottery.
Oriental style area rug is in brown and gold tones. I'll likely be
looking for a trunk to put at the foot of the bed to stash my sewing
stuff in. Also in search of a white wicker fernier to put by the window
for some plants. I'd like to have my fainting couch in there too but I
think that'd just make it feel crowded.
