Upstairs Bedroom

The most time-intensive project we've tackled so far has been the upstairs bedroom. It was covered in wallpaper that had to be stripped before we could paint everything, so we've been picking at the paper for months.

Finally, last weekend it was time to sand, prime, and paint the walls.

I picked up a few home decor magazines in Paris on my way home from a conference in May, and some beautiful grey bookcases inspired the grey-wall-grey-trim paint colors we used. The trim is actually the same color as our downstairs bathroom - Behr's Dolphin Fin - and the walls and ceiling are a lighter shade of the same color. We still need to add some more personal touches, but at least it's ready for guests!

Here's the best comparison. I think I should invest in a better camera; the iPhone photos just aren't doing it justice.
