Bedroom Blues 1

I’ve been thinking a long time about painting the bedroom and maybe getting new curtains. But I’m stumped on the color scheme. Which is pretty lame considering I used to do a lot of interiors (albeit corporate, and also I did project management not design heehee), and I only need to pick the wall color (trim will remain white, I’m too scared to be waffling about the “correct white” for months).Soooo…what will it be? I thought at first that I’d go green — you know, the olive-ish pale celery sort.

Now I’m thinking blue - blue gray. Something like Glass Slipper, or maybe Pebble Beach, or even blue-grey with a green cast like Gray Cashmere. Or do I go darker blueish like Mineral Alloy :S

The curtains should be white — something a bit gauzy but not too transluscent that J complains. He doesn’t like the light hitting his eyes on late-wakeup weekends. And were just a bit over street level so we need some privacy. Especially since the bus stop is directly in front of the bedroom.

I’m thinking I could maybe pick up some colors from a print I bought.

So there’s some blue-grey (walls) with the chestnut/dark brown (wood furniture). Maybe some khaki natural fiber shit somewhere. And some accents of redmaroon cherry purple. There you go. A color scheme. Now to translate that into interior finishes and decor….

Sheezits, being a Libra right now is not a good thing.

  3. Slamming car door on thumb, and chauffer starts driving away with thumb still stuck in hell.
  4. Hammering finger
  5. Pulling on a hangnail and taking off too much skin it bleeds like the devil.
  6. Sticking finger in the electric fan grille and slicing part of thumb off.
  7. Trying to replace a razor blade and taking the tip of a finger (thankfully not same thumb) off.
  8. Bending over and hitting head really hard on an open cabinet door above. - THIS FREAKING HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND I STILL FEEL MY HEARTBEAT WHERE THE BRUISE IS POTA.
