Bedroom Plans



We've decided to change around the rooms and make the front bedroom into a guest room/dressing room and the back bedroom into our sleeping room.

The room is currently hideous. Yellow walls (not objectionable on their own) with baby blue and orange sherbert splotches on the lower parts of the wall, a formal blue and gold border around the top of the wall, and an embossed border used to cover the woodwork around the door. The baseboards are orange sherbert. WHY????? Then, there are the teddy bears that I won't even go into. The room looks like it has been redecorated several times without take any of the former decoration down. Layer upon layer, the first one may have been nice in it's day, but the additional layers got really funky.

The plan is to paint the woodwork white, except for any bare wood, which we will leave. The walls will be a straw or wheat color and the ceiling will be white. No wallpaper or borders, just plain. Then we will put down polyurethane to protect us and the floors before we move the bed, nightstands and lamps and the chest into the room. We will try to stick just to that.
