In the home I share with my son & his family, my room, my personal space, is the very large bonus room upstairs. It's the size of a studio apartment (minus a kitchenette). I love my room. I have it exactly the way I like it. BUT...suddenly the walls were just too white and boring!
I love watercolors. I love shades of purple mixed with blue. I have bedding that I've had for a few years that I'm still very fond of, shades of purple, blue, aqua, green.
On Wednesday I went to the fabric store and bought these two fabrics.
(Are you thinking watercolors?)On Thursday I sewed covers for the couch cushions.
On Friday I bought a gallon of "Spaqua" 
Who gets paid to sit around all day and think up names for colors of paint? What are the job qualifications? (How do I get a job like that?)
Saturday morning, 9:00 a.m.,I prepped the walls and started painting.

I painted only two walls, meeting in the corner behind my headboard, which is on an angle. Painting, cleanup and moving furniture was done by 4:oo p.m
I love my new room!..... I feel like I'm living in a Monet painting.

Love the "cheap" makeover! A gallon of paint makes everything better.
