Honey Harbour - Red/Green bedroom project

While at Aimee and Greg's we redecorated one of the bedrooms. I wish I had taken a "before" picture but I forgot. The bedroom had been a deep red. All four walls (the paint was on sale). It was too dark for a small room and the dresser was an old wood one with a dark stain and crackled varnish.

Aimee painted the bedroom while I worked on the dresser, sanding, priming, painting.
The screened in dining area became a workshop for a few days (it always takes
 longer than you think it will)

Aimee had picked this up somewhere because she loved the intricate plaster frame.

It took longer to paint the frame than any other part of the job. It took primer
and 2 coats of paint into all those little twiddles! The "modern art" took very little time.

We wanted to paint the dresser knobs the same colour as the walls and this was
Aimee's solution: attach them to an egg carton to paint them.

When I left it wasn't quite finished. Walls in "Airy Green" from Home Depot, comforter and shams
 from Winners, wall sconce spray painted white (and another lamp from Value Village,
not yet finished), frames from Dollerama will hold family pictures and be hung on the wall
to the right of the bed, a piece of driftwood varnished with coat hooks attached as the room has
 no closet will be at the end of the bed, curtains bought at Home Depot and resewn by Aimee. 

In between coats of paint I read this. Bryson is a bit hit or miss with me but I really
enjoyed this one about his walk on the Appalachian Trail.

One of the reasons we didn't get finished was a visit from Julie and Steve. It was supposed to be a break but we never got back to work.

They bought Angel (the elderly Basset Hound in the background) and Rollo (the
new, to them, Pug/Jack Russell cross)

Adorable!

Yes, you too, Angel.

They got Rollo because Angel was pining for Sammy, who passed away this year.
