The flea market dresser we purchased is too heavy and cumbersome to move to another room easily, so we covered it with a drop cloth and prepared that room for a facelift - light switch plates, blinds and outlet covers were removed. Windows were caulked, nail holes were patched, paint was stirred, brushes and rollers prepared....

And then..... I took a last glance over the WHOLE room. Do you see it?
How about now??? Pooh! I can't escape him! I removed that wallpaper border months ago and am just now noticing the patch of Pooh right behind the door. It's always hidden when the door is open and I just plain forgot to check back there... I swear he's mocking me. So out came the wallpaper removing tools one last time.

After that little snag, we got to painting. Matt was on edging for a while until he relinquished the job and gave it to me since painting with a roller is more his forte. Let's just say we have a few spots on the ceiling and trim to touch up on that wall :-)
After our first session, Matt had about half the room painted a soft grey while the other half was still blue and green.
Six days later, we revisited the job to finish her off. It's not much of a before and after shot yet, but here is the original "before." I've come to realize that this room is almost impossible to take pictures of so the quality of the light and angles is seriously lacking.

And here are a few "afters:"

In pictures it looks a little darker than it truly is, but at least Pooh and the two colors are gone!
And finally, a preview of what our windows have to look forward to.... Homemade curtains are the next project.
Oh thank you for this...in true YHL style ! It is beautiful!
