Progress pictures: bedrooms.

Nate, his mama and Jerry painted the bedrooms and they're so lovely. They didn't need to cut in at the ceiling or floor because we're doing crown molding and baseboards. These are iPhone pics, so the lighting might not accurately reflect the colors, but everything's very beachy and peaceful. It's also pixelated a little 'cause I enlarged them after uploading . . . so lazy, I know. We'll get better pics soon.
Anyway, we're using Porter Paints for everything, since Cobb County Schools employees get a big discount. A gallon of flat for roughly 9 bucks, a gallon of semi-gloss for 10.

The master bedroom, in April Sky:







This is the wall where we're going to add larger windows.








The office, in Salty Sea. It's somewhere between aqua and Tiffany blue, and we're gonna play it down a little by keeping a black and white color scheme in the curtains, art, and organizational stuff.








The guest bedroom, in Grey Stone:







They'll all pop even more once the molding is up and the floors are stained that deep, deep brown we love.

We also decided that, since the master isn't as big as we'd like it to be, we're going to add IKEA wardrobes in the guest room along with my makeup vanity and treat it essentially as our giant walk-in closet. The closet in the master will be full of hampers for dirty laundry, and the clean stuff all goes in the closets in the guest bedroom.
Still gonna make sure it's cozy and comfy in case of overnight guests, though.

The next post will hopefully be pictures of the drywall and the cabinets, but for now, I have to end with a picture of my bathroom vanity with the vessel sink we'll attach to it. 'Cause I love it and can't help myself, even knowing that this isn't exactly a glamorous photo of it.




It's all coming together. That's one of the fun parts.
