Here We Go!

Some of you may have heard of my "Great Re-decorate 08" project. If not, to catch you up, I thought it would be a great idea to re-decorate the apartment in the middle of the busiest time of year at work and when the apartment is actually, already decorated. But if you're reading this blog, you know me, and this notion isn't that silly at all. Plus... KT and Nicky are decorating their new fabulous apartment in New York City, so it's a solidarity project!

I've decided to re-do the office and the bedroom first. Bill and Dee are coming in town Labor Day weekend for a visit and to help paint. I'll have to post pictures of the rooms in their current state so you can see the change.

Here's the bedroom plan:

Grey/Blue walls. Not too dark. Still picking out the exact color.

This print above the bed...
(I've randomly been to Nice several times and LOVE this print)
White bedding that we already have and the below duvet cover from Pottery Barn...

and these side tables from Ikea...

That's where I am so far. Would love some feedback and ideas. More to come!

Yay! I painted mine "Cloudy Day" by Behr. I dont think anyone wants to wake up in a room called "Cloudy Day", but it works for me.

It's probably too light for the look you want, but maybe the darker options on the card at the hardware store could work.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm having trouble because I don't want it to look to gray or too purple.
