Pure White Make Over

Well I pretty much finished up the master bedroom that had been a fathers day gift for my husband while he was away for work. I had 1 week to complete, which I somewhat did. The only thing that held me back was pinterest. I cannot tell you how much it bugs me when you come across something you desperately want, you click the picture, you follow the link to the website, you purchase only to find out it is on back order. Wouldn't you think like "hey this item is trending like crazy we should really stock up?". No, so I of course  still order it, in hopes that a miracle happens. Well, unfortunately one month later I still didn't receive my shipment. I decided to cancel and move on. I am so so so glad I did.

Lets get started on the before pictures...
A year and a half ago I received a pottery barn catalog and saw this great color Homburg Gray. Loved it. Didn't even thinks twice to check it out at Sherwin Williams. I purchased it brought it home and painted.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH......

I guess I was just expecting more gray charcoal than gray blue/green. Well we lived with it for a little over a year and I couldn't take it anymore. It was cold, dark, and just plain yuck.

So Thomas left and I went to the drawing board. I wanted white and a boho feel. Try going to the paint store and picking a white with limited time. I rather give birth again, seriously!

I ended up choosing Snowbound, its pretty pure white, maybe a slight warmth to it.

This picture was taking with my phone in Williamsburg. I loved it so much I took it over to Kinkos (local print shop) and had them do a blueprint for only 7 dollars!!! 

 

 

It so much brighter and airier. White walls used to be boring to me and now they are amazing, it allows you to add so much without limiting any colors.
