My "new" bedroom...

We moved into this house about 5 years ago, and we never got around to painting or recarpeting our bedroom. It's a toss-up if our bedroom or the bathroom is the ugliest room in the house, but either way, things just ain't pretty. :) The big debate that kept us from doing anything really centered around whether or not we should gut the bedroom and put all new dry-wall in, because currently the walls are made of some weird pressed particle board covered with a thin layer of plaster...weirdest thing ever. Anyway...we finally decided to leave it go for now, cover the imperfections with texture paint as much as possible, and just fix up this room!

So...here we go! Last week Doug painted the room. Tonight he is putting in new carpet. And then for the first time in 5 years, I'm actually going to attempt to decorate our bedroom. :) Very exciting.

Here's a taste for you:

(the scans aren't very true to color, but it will give you a basic idea...)

The paint:

The new bedspread:

And I know what I want the lights to look like, but I haven't figured out which ones I'm buying yet, so I'll keep you posted. When it is done it will be warm, and cozy!

I'll post before & after pictures when we are done!
