Since these pictures were taken, a couple things have changed {but unfortunately, no where near enough to call our room complete haaaaa}.
Since then, we:
- sold our old bedroom set on Craigslist and replaced it with a mid-century modern set we Craiglisted and painted
- bought a rug for the living room, but didn't like it there, so it now lives in the bedroom {happy accident}
- re-arranged our furniture layout to suit our new-to-us furniture better
- re-painted the whole room because the accent wall was now the wrong wall {thanks to our re-arranging} and I was SUPER antsy to get rid of the pretty-but-not-the-look-I-was-going-for tan-ish walls
I started the painting on a Friday night after finishing up our barn door, and began by covering our former accent wall in Glidden's Pebble Grey. I finished that wall before I was forced to call it quits so my hubby could rest up for work the next day. {Boooo busy season and working Saturdays!}
When I opened my eyes in the morning, I was pleased to see that I loveddddd the new color. It was perfect. Darker, a little more moody...and definitely made our white trim and dark floors pop.
I couldn't wait to get started on the rest of the room. The hubs told me there was no way I could finish the whole room in one day. HA! That's what he thought.
With the assistance of my iPod blasting and some March Madness commentary, I had our bedroom one-coated by the time the afternoon rolled around. {And thank the Good Lord, the room only needed one coat!}

I started by cutting all the grey walls in...
...then I rolled them all. Then I cut the green wall in, and rolled that. {I was so focused at this point that I forgot to take progress pictures.} So here are two finished pictures. And when I say finished...I obviously mean the painting...not the disaster that we call our bedroom. ;)
I'm so pleased with the new color! I know it isn't a dramatic change, but I'm in love! {And don't mind the splotchy color. The walls were still semi-wet when I took these pictures, but it dried nice and even!}
Also, I'm sure you caught a glimpse of our newly painted furniture in this post. At that point everything was severely lacking some hardware. Hopefully I'll get a post up to show you their finished-ness sometime soon! :)
