The Presidential Suite
Not really. That would be me and Honey's room. This is "The Man's" former teen cave. I fixed the cracks and painted everything. Then I added new blinds (to confuse the cats) and a matching bed ensemble (that's French, to confuse the Pennsylvanians). I'll be adding some new wall art to complete the effect. Honey likes the old fashioned pinch pleat curtains so I worked them into the room. I'm also keeping a few of "The Man's" school work pieces so as not to make it seem that he's been eradicated from our lives.
The guest room end.
The view (obstructed by blinds, to spare readers from the the neighbors uncut grass).
The office end.
The camera lens looks like it needs cleaning. The room color is a sagey green with ivory trim. It looks so pretty (to me anyway) that I would like to sleep in here. Big improvement over the semi gloss off white walls and ceiling with the funky spots and drips that only guys would not see. Photos of wall art to follow.
Good job on bringing the room(s) to you ideal colour. I can paint, but I'm
hopeless, or easily satisfied, when it comes to colour. Or perhaps lazy, as
in the past, I've tried to tune out my wife. But, she's always gotten her
way, and has a good eye for this.
I apologize as I neglected to wish you a Happy Mother's Day!
You are in the painting groove!! Looks good! Do you want some wall stuff?
I've got some extras....... And Happy Mother's Day--I thought it was next
weekend--as usual, I'm a month or so behind.
Looks great--you'd never even know that a teen ever made its lair there.
Kevin-Thank you and thank you. Thanks to modern technology you can go to
glidden.com, behr.com, and benjaminmoore.com (three of my favorites) and
get awesome color combinations for your rooms AND see what they will look
like in rooms before you buy or apply them. Some of these programs will
allow you to take digital photos of your room and apply the colors to it on
your computer. Picking colors is almost foolproof now. It's fun too.
oooh! Ahhhh! that's what room makeovers do for me. Looks fabulous,
dahling....Have you and honey "christened" that bed yet? My mind is always
in the gutter...sorry.
Okay, I'll be down the weekend of June 7th. Could you please prepare the
heart shrimp kabobs and one of your pizzas too?
I think we design our rooms to match our psychic space. And what's solid
for one person is different for another. It's important for each one to
find what's right for them. When I was living as a single guy, my crib was
a total extension of me and was a place of personal power. Now that my
Lady and I are together, it's a whole 'nother ballgame.
It looks fabulous, Catty, and belated happy mother's day from me too.
You've been very industrious!
Madam-Thank you. The bed has prior "christening," not since the redo
though. Enough of that, we'll scare the guests away with our naughty talk.
