I took on another home improvement project this past weekend---painting the bedroom. It's
Devine Paints Storm, a deep charcoaly-turquoisey-blue. In some light it's almost navy, othertimes deep green, in morning light it's turquoise. The color; exactly the same shade the mountains in the distance appear at dusk from the living room window, also compliments the rosewood and teak beautifully, and it feels rich and soothing. It's a good thing the bedroom has a relaxing atmosphere now, because painting it has made my bersitus throb.
My landlord said it was ok to paint, under two conditions--A) that I don't paint the ceiling (I didn't) and B) that I don't use a very dark color (I did). I bought a gallon cream colored paint to cover it all up when/if I move, to put his mind at ease should he see the color and freak out.
The new curtains go up as soon as I can find an inside-mount pole 10' long. The list of other to-do's in this room include:
-ordering a bed (how can someone in the business NOT find a bed she likes???!? What's taken me so long?)
-getting a rug
-mounting the curtain rod and curtains
-finding the right vintage mirror for above the dresser
-keeping the closet organized and not succumbing to my usual 'ball them up on the floor' method of clothes storage
