Antique White USA & Warm Neutral = life on the edge!

It's a 5 day weekend in Sydney for Easter and Anzac Day.  Its the perfect weekend to DYI around the house.  So I decided to paint my bedroom. The walls in my house are all a grey white colour and I hate them!  Since I moved into my little unit I have wanted to change them and this is the perfect weekend to start, and as I am doing it myself with the help of my wonderful mother I thought I would start small and with the bedroom.  It should be a sanctuary anyway and somewhere you want to be.  In time I'd also like to change my furniture but first things first right! 

I decided to go totally outrageous with colours and I selected Antique White USA for the main colour and Warm Neutral for the feature wall, very safe, very plain, very me.  I have 5 or so sets of bedlinen in various different combinations of neutral browns, greens or blues.  So the colours I have selected are perfect for my preferred palette.  I'd also really like a white set of linens however I have spent so far 2 years searching for the right one however I haven't yet found it but when I do the walls in my room will be perfect for that too! 

So yesterday Mum and I have relocated 3/4 of my bedroom into my living room (which is driving me crazy but its 3 days and has to happen), sugar soaped the walls and taped all the skirting etc.  Today we did 2 coats of the main colour and tomorrow we will do 2 coats of the feature colour.  I'm excited I can't wait until its done and I can stand back and admire my handiwork.  Its not the job of a professional painter but the work of me and that is pretty exciting!


So before its done here is what it looked like before:

Can't wait to be able to post the after...  Maybe I'll strike it lucky and find the perfect white bedlinen on Monday.
