The Master Bedroom

So the brown in this room is really a depressing shade of turd. I know I could just go with an off white and keep it nuetral, or I even considered a sunny yellow. But again, I will be bringing my trusty painted boards and see what works with what.
One of the funny things we discovered about the house, is how many times the bathroom and closet has been madeover. Apparently there used to be a soaking tub where the closet now is. I don't know. It's a pretty sweet closet, but for hanging anything long (like all my long dresses), I will have to keep them in the guest one. Only short things can be hung in this designed space.
But, on a positive note, there are quite a few built-ins. There's about 12 cubes, and 24 shoe holders. Sweet! Now, this photo isn't so bad as far as the color goes, but you know me and I will change it. I really wanted a warm rustic pumkin like orange color, but my fear is that it will blend in too much with all the wood trim in there, as well as Dave's mexican armoires. Here is my attempt at painting orange. I had to make it stippled as the bright orange with this light just looked too bright. And come to think of it, maybe doing it as an effect is the way to do the orange color?

Boy, that really is bright. So, now it's not so much the wood trim that bothers me as the dingy looking carpet. Yes, I'd love to rip it up and put down some hardwood, but that project is going to have to wait.

The more likely winner of the color of this room will be a pale light blue. At least that's what Dave's asking for.

Now that I'm looking at this, I might be leaning towards the blue too. So, that is all I'm planning to paint. It's also a bit ambitious? I mean, if we close tonight and I want to paint before we move, that gives me like 2 nights to get this done. Crap! Not closing last week has really put a crimp in my plans. Cuz you know I haven't even started packing yet...
