Master Bedroom

So here is the before and after of our master bedroom. When we bought the house the walls of the master looked disgusting. It looked like someone had repeatedly thrown buckets of dirty water all over the walls! If you are just now joining us, you may be wondering why we took up all the laminate wood flooring that was put in throughout the house. Well it looks fine in the pictures but in reality the boards were not installed correctly and there were many large gaps throughout the house that could not be fixed. Also, we preferred the darker wood flooring we now have in our living areas and Randall was insistent that we had carpet in the bedrooms. So in this room we: scraped popcorn ceilings, put in carpet, painted walls, painted trim, replaced light fixture.

Before:

After:



The color of our walls is Benjamin Moore - Gravity. LOVE it. It is such a calm and relaxing color that I am now trying to figure out where else in the house I can put it!

COLOR

I couldn't take it anymore! This week I went out, bought some pints of paint, and tested them out on some of our finished walls to see how I liked the colors. This is the part of redoing the house that I am most looking forward to. I forgot just how much I love opening a fresh can of paint. I know that sounds weird, but it's the truth, I love it! And it's a good thing I got small cans of paint to do a test run with first, because not all the colors I picked are keepers. However, at this point, I think I am pleased with how 4 of the 5 turned out. (If Randall had a say in this matter, I think he would MAYBE keep ONE of the colors (which would be the one I am changing)). So here they are:

Can you guess which color I am going to use for which room (if I haven't already told you)??? Do these colors scare any of you? It's okay, they scare Randall too. But I am not afraid!
