Le Boudoir

I finally, and I do mean finally got around to taking some photos of the bedroom.  We had it painted a few days before Thanksgiving.  And since I make the bed the way it's supposed to be only for special occasions, a photo op rarely happened.  (Just to ease my conscience here... I do make the bed every day.  I just rarely go to the trouble to putting all the extra pillows on and opening the curtains and hiding the remotes.)  Anyway. 

I had an idea of how I wanted the room painted for a while.  Then a bright idea hit me one day.  Stripes.  Horizontal stripes!  I actually never thought it would happen because I knew neither of us would likely have the time nor the patience to actually get the job done.  Plus, I wasn't sure Jose would go for it.  But, I really should never doubt him.  We actually agree on almost everything as far as changes to the house goes.  Things I was sure he would hate he actually prefers.  Another reason I love him! 

We got a quote to have the room painted and it was doable.  I figured why not ask and see how much extra it would be to have stripes painted on one wall.  I was prepared for it to be to expensive to have done.  Guess what.  $50 extra!  That's it!  I said yes before the guy could change his mind.  And most importantly, I LOVE IT!
