Color wall
We moved the bed to the opposite side of the room and painted one wall of our bedroom chocolate brown yesterday. The tin said "Walnut Bark," but the paint melted on the wall like milk chocolate. Today we put up the 9' hot pink velvet drapes inherited from my stylish auntie, who bought them for her living room in the 1960s. They puddle on the floor. [We is a loose term: I have the imagination that leads to concrete ideas; dear W does the hard work.]
Our bedroom carpet is neutral beige. Auntie Molly's LR carpet was apple green. Granny Smith apples, that is. And her furniture was carved Italian - with gilding. So I feel like the pink and brown is quite neutral, even with white bedding.
It's always fun to see a space evolve from idea to reality. The drapes have been packed in an old suitcase for at least five years. And I didn't find "my" brown until walking into Home Depot yesterday around noon. Now the wall is finished and the bedroom is in an uproar with books and items ready for storage piled at the foot of the bed. By week's end, we hope to have everything sorted so we can enjoy the view.
