Peek Show in the Bedroom

August 6, 2012 by Cassie 57 Comments

Not that kind…. get your minds out of the gutter! It’s just a little sneak peek show going on over here today.

The kids went to my parents for the weekend, and I busted my butt getting our bedroom painted.  Hopefully a reveal will be coming in the next few weeks– there are still several things to be done.  This weekend I primed and painted the trim and painted the walls a deep inky blue and I am in LOVE.

I want to extend a ginormous thank you to the people of Dutch Boy for sending me two gallons of their gorgeous “Chanson Bleu” for this project.  This paint is awesome and even in this dark color, had beautiful coverage on my walls.  Our bedroom is on the large side, and I was able to get 3 coats out of two cans.  I painted the first coat with one can, the second with the next can, and combined the remainders of the cans for the last coat.  Now, I could have used a tinted primed and only have painted two coats of paint, but I had tested a small area before I started and the coverage was so good that I didn’t feel I needed the tinted primer.

So, for a more dramatic effect, I want to remind you where my bedroom was before we painted…. (the rug is more under the bed now though, too)

Here is a little peek at what it now looks like….

And hey… check out my new pillow!

A month ago I won a fabulous giveaway from my friend Kim at Keller Creative…. the shop doing the giveaway was Motif Pillows and I was able to select from her shop.  Since I knew I was bringing in teal with the dresser I chose the pillow in the middle above to pop on the bed and tie into the room.  I love it paired with the Ikea pillows!  Thank you SO much, Kim and Motif Pillows!  I adore it!

Later this week I will share another master bedroom in the works project…. Stay tuned!

    It is gorgeous! I hate priming unless there are wall issues… you would have had to buy the primer and a separate roller cover if you went that route. I am loving that blue!

    I don’t know the first thing about search engine optimisation but I reckon you are going to get a whole lot of disappointed perverts ending up on your blog with that title, lol!

    The number of comments speaks to the shear awesomeness of your space! That dramatic and moody blue served you well. I hink it is super fantastic-I just die for the pic of the side of the bed and your gorgeous dresser- especially with the bit of gold table poking up at the bottom. Totally fantastic Cassie!!

    I had to put my master on hold and go back to the Living Room. Having back to back weeks of guests, first my mom and her husband, next week my inlaws will make me do that. I am anxious to get back to my bedroom though!
