I thought I would show you the results of my painting while my husband was gone fishing.

What a restful, warm, welcoming room! Nicely done! I need you to come to my home and redo my bedroom! You have a knack for decorating. I just put stuff together and call it home. LOL...

I love the colors. You were really busy. But it looks great. Thanks for sharing.

DA... that is exactly what I have been doing the last few days! My hubby is gone too... in Alaska fishing with his brother. I have finished a bedroom, the bath room, and a couple touch up jobs.
I also wanted to say that your bedroom is almost the exact color that I painted ours. Except yours looks nicer... I have no decorations up yet... and want to get a new bed.
I also have a half moon window like that.... how did you make the curtain for that? YOU GO GIRL! IT LOOKS GREAT!

JC Penneys has the rods and you can make the shears to fit. Directions are with the rod.

What a wonderful and cozy bedroom.

Ditter43 07-23-2010 07:10 AM

I have some rooms I would like to redo but they have wallpaper on them. I don't like to paint over paper and don't know if I am up to stripping paper . Sooo it stays the same.....for now!
Your painting job looks so good......... :thumbup:

Thanks for the info DA!

DA Mayer 07-24-2010 07:01 AM

you are welcome. Hope it works for you. Our son and daughter-in-law lived in Lincoln for the first few years, are you anywhere near there?

I am west of Lincoln.. in Kearney. Kearney sits pretty much in the middle of Nebraska, and the USA. We are about 150- miles west of Lincoln..... which is one of my favorite towns. Love to go hit the quilt stores there, and I am about due for another visit!
I am anxious to make the window cover for my big arch window. Loved the idea when we picked it out, but it lets so much light in at night.... it needs something.
Thanks for the idea! Peggy

Nice cozy rooms you have there.

I wonder if hubbies do things like that when you're away?
