Picasso

About a year ago Drew and I painted the master bedroom. Before the paint dried Drew declared he hated it. However, due to lack of motivation, the terracotta remained on the walls. We thought maybe it would grow on us. No such luck.

When the realtor took pictures of the house, we hated the photos of our room. It looked dark and uninviting. Sunday we happened upon this wonderful quilt at IKEA that we both loved but had no business being in a room the color of pottery. So 1 trip to Home Depot, 2 cans of primer, 2 cans of paint, 3 rolls of painter's tape, and 6 hours while the children slept later, we have a new room.

Thinking of sending it to HGTV's Rate My Space. What do you think?

Hey, you did better than us... we lived with paint we hated from the moment it went on the wall for 2 years!

I like the new yellow and the new bedding. Leave it to IKEA to spark motivation!
