Bedroom Makeover

[hotstepher]

 I recently moved back in with my mom. Yikes. I am living in what used to be my little brother's room. It was in a horrid state. For one, it had been painted (poorly at that) dark blue at one point, which with the brown trim and red carpet made the little room seem even tinier. Also, when my bro was in highschool he thought blacklights were awesome

Uppercase Living! I love their stuff! The mirror and lamp are gorgeous, and I'm really loving the honey mustard wall color.

yeah, they have some cool stuff...and some that's a little too "scrapper" for me. They have a newer bird on a branch that I am in love with, too. Honey mustard describes it well! In real life it's less mustardy though...

thanks! kilz is this bad-ass primer that will block out all sorts of stains that will bleed through normal paint...moister stains, smoke stains, dark colors, etc. It's hardcore.

Kilz

It is a white type of primer paint that covers up EVERYTHING. If you have dark walls, like the poster did, one uses Kilz to cover up the dark paint therefore you can put the light paint over, and the dark orgianal paint doesn't come through.

the end all be all of paints
use it as a primer over dark colors when you want to go lighter or use it to cover up naste walls (or ceilings) that have crud on them for a fresh start

such an improvement! i love the wall color, and the repainted bed looks like a million bucks. well done.

forgot to say this the first time but i'm nervous for your mirror looming over where your head is. if you jump into bed and it slips a little, eeeek. is it secured by anything?

I thought the same thing, if you have any "activity" going on ;) ... it could be pretty dangerous!

Looks beautiful, love the color!
