The other thing we managed to do before we left for our trip was to paint the
Blue Room. It took a few coats of
Nippon Seclusion Blue, but finally came together. The room is hard to photograph, but these images should give you an idea of the color.
The door trim and the door into the bathroom need to be painted. Reminds me that the trim on all the interior doors in the house need to be be painted. I have been procrastinating because it is oil paint and I hate working with it and also because I keep wondering if I should go with a light grey or white trim. If I go with white it will look good with all the white walls in the main part of the house, but white won't look so good here and on this small door that needs to be painted, it also won't look so good in our brown bedroom.
On my last trip to
Ikea I bought five of these
Vate 46cm wide lantern shades and the white
Hemma fixtures that you hang them from.
My idea is that there are two electric sources already in the ceiling. One is for the fan and one is for the ceiling light that was here when we moved which we will remove. I've already asked our electrician if he can take power from these sources to make five lighted lanterns in the room as I want them to hang over the single bed/daybed we are going to put in the room. He said it can be done.
Here is a messy drawing of how it will look.

The room looks great painted blue. You really pulled this one off very well.
ReplyDeleteA lovely deep blue room. What room is this going to be?

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt was built as a maid's room and so it is small, only fits a single bed. We are going to make it another guest room and instead of getting a dresser, maybe get a low tv table for the wall opposite the bed/daybed we can also use it as a cozy TV.
