So the catalyst for the whole bedroom repainting was a bed.
we usually get something for Us Parents for christmas, last year we got some new living room furniture, this year I said I wanted a new headboard/footboard. So typically Scott, he decides well we need this RIGHT NOW rather than waiting til December and Christmas. I thought we would go looking but as always, get carried away in Scott's whirlwind of shopping, and sure enough after a day of shopping in Halifax we came home to Truro and bought a bed AND a nighttable.
The whole point was to try to match the bureaus we already had. I really liked them and KICKING myself all over for not buying the headboard/footboard that matched when we bought the bureaus in Manitoba in 2000. But we already had a headboard we liked and didnt think we needed that lovely sleighbed. SHEESH.

That is not exactly what I got. What I did get, tho, was an almost matching bed of a name I dont exactly know lol (it aint a sleigh bed) but with big ol posts and slats. OMG it is SO HUGE!

It didnt look that big in the store. Honest!
Naturally before this bed comes home, we want to repaint the bedroom. I really HATED the border that was in there (sorry Ann, I really did) so we took out the bed and put it in the living room for 2 nights, moved the bureaus to the middle of the room, and proceeded to remove ugly border, fill holes, and clean walls.


Sheesh. what was he thinking?
Friday night we got the border down and the crack filling started.


saturday between hockey games and helping a friend move a little we didnt get a tonne done. We did get the crackfilling and sanding done, and Scott had decided to buy tinted Primer to paint on first. I think he got that done on Saturday night. But the primer might have started Sunday morning! I dont truely remember. These things tend to turn into marathons for us. :) it only took 1.5 years to finish the bathroom.
I almost could have just kept the primer on the walls, i liked the colour that much.
But the wall colour was awesome! I spent wonderful hours painting all the adges and around the window. Its been a week and we still have to finish painting the window sills and ceiling.

We did the painting Sunday night and Monday morning (Holiday for some of us) and the bed was delivered Monday morning and sat in our kitchen all day while the walls were drying and we were helping the friend complete the move. I think we did some shopping this day to buy a few things like lamps and shelves (still not up) for the New Room.

LOVE it.



And the bed all put together and looking messy. Sorry for the mess, but I wanted to show the bed spread and all. It's not been that long that we had our bedspread and set, and I already want a NEW ONE hehehehehhe!
To match the new room.
That looks nothing like the old room.
It's still way cleaner.
