Yes Master or Indoor Project #4

So after 15 years of marriage, H and I have an actual matched set of bedroom furniture for the master bedroom.  First it needed to be painted.  This room was great but had a little too much earth-tone action going.  H found what I thought woudl end up as a very bleak and dreary color and, after a master bathroom repaint that even she admitted was a fiasco, I didn't have a lot of confidence.  Even so, we moved forward, using some great trim pain techniques I'd learned from my brother-in-law Stephen.  The paint was done well in advance of the furniture acquisition but it is all together now and the  results are great. 

Sick and Wrong Becomes Basketballicious or Indoor Project #3



Not to be outdone by his younger brother. . . .

You might think that we just did this in order to make for a more dramatic, "WOW!" factor with the before and after action but I assure, we would never put our children at risk in this fashion for that or any other reason.  This was all T, who has traditionally, been very good at keeping his room relatively clean.  Hopefully, a little DIY (or should I say DIM - Do-it-Myself) action will help right this wrong and get this room's inhabitant back on track. 

T is, as you may know, a big basketball fan and especially loves the Boston Celtics.  We picked a color that could pass for Boston/TD Gardens parquet floor (though we/I didn't have the ambition to do any kind of intricate parquetry pattern) and Boston Celtic's green.  An NBA poster, new bedding along with his pre-existing Cs blanket, Team Fatheads of the 2011 Cs starting lineup (given by M as a birthday present) and a lot of work done solo while everyone else was in Oregon yielded a sweet end result.
