Bedroom Preview

Our bedroom is finally finished after two coats of paint! I am totally in love with the color (Neptune Blue by Behr in eggshell), but it was my first time ever painting a room anything other than a neutral. Yep, even growing up I always had a white bedroom. My father designed our lake home to be very minimalist in style to showcase the structural elements of the house, meaning even the paint color was minimal, aka white. I love how the house looks, but I always have yearned to use color in paint. So, what do I paint the first two rooms I ever have the opportunity to paint? Beige (in the house my parents bought while I was in college to live in) and gray (our house's guest bedroom). Needless to say, I broke through that trend with this room.


More pictures to come when all the wall art is finalized (we're doing black and white photos of our Europe trips), the curtains have been added (a nice ivory to balance the color a bit), and ivory accessories. I love it, and Kevin really likes it, too!

I really do like neutral colors, but it's nice to have one room that really pops. I think the ivory contrast will also bring out the subtleties in the color more, too!

On a side note, it actually was kind of nice to remove everything but our bed in our bedroom. Kevin may disagree with me on this, but it allowed us to edit everything we have in there instead of just keeping things exactly the way they were. All of our furniture is of course back in the room, but I'm slowly adding back decorations.
