The Bedroom

Funny story: The only real picture we have of the bedroom prior to the paint job is this, but you can see that the walls were a sage green and beige combo:
Why this is funny: I was blitzed beyond belief.  We had had a dinner party, and between six of us, we polished off eight bottles of wine.  We made a Korean feast, which went over very well.  Anyway, the above picture came about after I passed out for the night.  Two of our guests were passed out on our couch, and P and two other friends were performing to Madonna's entire concert DVD collection.  

What happened right after this: I threw up (red wine) all over our beige carpet.  And I cleaned it up with our Dyson, which only recently lost that pleasant puke smell we all know and love. 

I don't know about you, but I always hate it when before and after shots look too dissimilar: 
The red pillows will eventually be gone, once we find replacements.  But, three of the walls are now blue.  The one behind the bed is a milk chocolate.  Here's a better picture (though it is not nearly as funny):
A cat had just jumped on the bed, hence the imperfect duvet cover.  The colors are deeper than they look in the picture, but we like it a lot.  Even Paul.  And he complained nonstop about having to paint.

I like it. But, doesn't the pinkish stain on the carpet clash with the new colors?

Very nice! I'm impressed that you tackled bumping two colors up to each other!!

Very impressed with the replication of both wardrobe and position in the after picture. Also, nice color selection!

Steve, too, HATES when the before and after pictures are from different perspectives. Must be a family thing.

What David failed to mention is that while he was cleaning up the vomit, he was in drunken tears. Oh the emotional rollercoaster of booze!
