Can you see me now?

So I continue to work on my boudoir.  I have the walls painted yet no wallpaper up yet:(. It is chosen, with a little help from my ladies, but haven't purchased it...waiting for a sale!

As I was prepping my room to be painted I took down all the curtains and have been living with no window coverings all summer. One, this means a lot of light gets in. This I don't mind at all. Two, it gets getting dressed or undressed interesting, as I have houses right behind me. At night or at 6:00AM, with the light on in my room who knows what the neighbours have seen!  Usually I dress in the dark:)

This past weekend I did something about it.  I still want the light and openness with no window coverings but I don't like being on display if I forget to turn out the lights so I Modge Podged my windows.
We painted on the Modge Podged...


Then we used Saran Wrap to create an effect.  Just laid it on top of the Modge Podge anyway (the more wrinkles the better), peeled it of and then let the Podge dry.

This is the final effect:

Continues to be a work in progress


So Daphne and I patched all the holes and rough spots in my bedroom.  Now they have to be sanded down but there is no way I am doing it now!  The dust would be flying!  I plan to wait for the spring or summer, when windows can be opened.
Still haven't decided on colours either.  After watching Sherlocke Holmes I have even considered wallpaper!! Big bold print...
I will have to take a trip to The Depot and look at some.
Keep ya posted:)



Check out this bedroom


Do you see the faces?

Bedroom update


So this is what I worked on this weekend, ripping the rest of the paneling off my walls.  And cleaning them.  Kinda gross the amount of dust and uh...spider webs?  So my bed is in the centre of my room and my plan is to patch up the wall behind my bed and paint it soon so I can put my bed back.
The coral and gray combo is out!  Currently leaning heavily towards the dark aquamarine/turquoise and cream but gray and yellow.... Still in the running:)

Uh I think this was suppose to be a spring project?
