Artichoke Heart...

No- this blog isn't dedicated to the yumminess of artichoke hearts, it is actually about our recent home decor project - the guest bedroom. The color of paint I chose was called "Artichoke Heart"!

This room has been largely ignored with white walls and no decorations. It had been on the "to-do" list for a while. We will be hosting our first guest next week (my Mom- yay!) so it was time to finally get this room in shape. Here are the before pictures...


Although it had already been prepped for painting, this room didn't have much going on, so these are still good "before" pictures!

Getting some love from Mom.
 As we made the final preparations, the entire family came in to see what was going on!

Zoe, Chey, Gypsy and Samson!

What piece of styrofoam?
Unfortunately, the green paint didn't photograph well which is disappointing. However, it is a very pretty color of celadon green... like this swatch I found online:


Here goes!!


We have painted enough rooms together now that we move pretty quickly as a team. I use the roller to cover most of the walls while Brad handles the trim. We were closely supervised by Cheyenne and Samson.

Don't worry about me Samson... I would hate to make you move.

The Trim Master.

It is hard work painting.



The final product:



 

The next day, we turned our attention to the Master bedroom... that post is next!
