First post for miss&murphy! Woot Woot!
I moved home in August to prepare for some foot surgeries that I am having. I figured it would be better to be in a comfortable home with family around to help me during my recovery struggles. I just finished the first surgery and my leave from work.
This has been my view during the leave…

Fun stuff, huh?
So before my surgeries, I knew I wanted to update my bedroom. It’s the same bedroom I’ve had at my family’s home since we moved there before I started first grade, and it has had the same paint since high school. I knew if I left it how it was, I might start going crazy. First step, changing the paint.
I was starting with a bright yellow, and I was ready for a more neutral color. I have been loving greige, grey, and black walls, and decided to go with “Morning Fog” which is part of the Sherwin Williams and Pottery Barn paint line.
Before (messy!):

After the first coat:
It surprised me how tough it was to paint over the yellow, since the grey was darker than I expected. Ended up taking me 3 coats to cover the yellow.
I will be posting the After photos soon! I have a few more projects to complete before the first unveiling.
First, my new dresser! As great as my armoire was for storage, I am trying to get the most use out of my closet, and I just don’t need that much extra storage. I ordered a Target Threshold Windham Accent Cabinet in Red. This should give me a little storage, and I plan to style the top with a lamp and my jewelry.
Making progress!
