Over Christmas break I really wanted to paint my room. My mom moved into her house in the summer of 2010 and since I'm never really there, I never really felt like that room was my room. It was practically a guest room for whoever was over and needed a place to crash. I just really wanted it to be mine and even though that beige color was alright (my old room was beige), I wanted to give it a color that was mine and mine alone. I've been obsessed with gray blue (much to my mom's dislike) so I went with her to Home Depot to find a good gray blue (but primarily gray) to paint. But of course she tricked me into going bluer than I originally wanted, since the primary reason for the gray was to go super neutral, but not white, for photographing my products. So here's what I went through, with the help of Mona and Diddley of course:
So first we went from beige to blue, which after drying, we realized was way toooo blue. So the next day I repainted a few walls a grayer blue (the desk wall is the lighter color and the window wall is the orginal color). It's funny because depending on the time of day, any wall can look any color. Just depends on the lighting.
But here's the finished product. I moved my shelves around, my curtains don't blend in with the wall so terribly and Mona and Diddley love the new look. My mom says they never leave my room. So mission accomplished! A big project checked off my list. -Amina
