Decorating Disasters

Yep, we've all had them! It's not easy to choose the right paint color. Trust me--I know.

I decided a few years ago to paint my bedroom yellow. I thought it would be so cool with a black and white toile bedspread. The minute we put the yellow paint on the walls, it looked green. It was just horrible. See the before pics. But I lived with it for awhile--thinking it was just me being picky. That I could turn this bad situation into a good one.

Well, the only way to do that is a different paint color. So last weekend, I decided I had enough of the lime/yellow walls and it was time to make it a relaxing haven.

Now don't get me wrong. I've had this Cocoa Bean paint swatch on the wall FOREVER waiting to see if I trusted myself again to do this. Well, it turned out to be so AWESOME! I love how warm our room looks and the little touches on the walls. It is so relaxing and calming--LOVE our room!
