Roomy Room

When I first bought my condo two years ago, my initial project was to PAINT. Admittedly, I went a tad crazy at first--having been an apartment dweller for so many years--not allowed to put a nail in the wall without being charged.

At move in, my second bedroom/office/writing room was a b-o-r-i-n-g neutral. Which is NOT conducive to the creative process.

So...going first for the obvious, I painted an accent wall. Black. But, it turned out too dull and too...depressing. Even for me, who loves black.

Color #2 was blue. Bright blue. Clown blue. Err!--overkill.

Next was deep purple. (shown over there.) Along with this purple, I also painted the other three walls a pretty silver. The accent wall stayed purple for the longest, over a year. I liked it well enough, but lately, I've been itching for a change. Maybe a RED? Something so bright and stimulating that my retinas would burn. Nice.

So I tackled the project over the weekend, settling on Robin Egg Blue. (The color of those darling little Tiffanys boxes.)

I finally put the room back together last night and am very happy with the results. I can see myself being oh-so creative in this room now. Yeeee! I smell a Pulitzer!
