Bedroom Paint Change

Here is how my bedroom turned out; the color isn't as cool and fresh as I wanted, the turquoise is a bit too punchy. However it is a vibrant way to wake up. I have to say I should have taken my boyfriends advice. He was scared when I showed him the turquoise paint sample and beg for me to reconsider and go for the light blue, I was confident that turquoise would be a great way to give the place a bit of flare, that it did…

Pale Brick Color Accent

So the other room that giving me a hard time was my bedroom. The room was all white put with one yellow brick wall. There walls were worn out and actually dirty really needed a refresher mostly with drywall patches from the landlord last minute fix up. So here was my inspiration, this awesome boardroom with the light blue turquoise accent wall.

Before & After

So finaly here is some pic of my flat before and after, or should I say after and before is the way this pics works. This is the office where we want to convert to an official at home client friendly space. Green is out cotton is in!

Wall Color Inspiration

So in our new flat there are two walls that are simply irritating to look at, we are planning to paint them before we move in. The first color you see when you walk in the entrance/office is this florescent green wall surrounding these lovely white French door opening to the living room. There was also this banana yellow wall in the living room. So it’s a funky space, but those colors took all the attention off the beautiful exposed brick, I need to make the space chic and inviting again. I want to pick the perfect complementary accent color for these walls. I have been playing around with color fans and finding nice grays, beiges & khaki’s color that could work. I figured that anything green base was out; it would clash with the red from the brick. My final choice was an achy beiges that would bring out the sandy hues from the cement & brick combo. The winner for me was “natural cotton” by Sico.

I'm relocating to a new apartment in Downtown Toronto. I'm feeling inspired by vibrant colors and patterns, but I've been conservative in my decor style. I'm looking to add some flare my new place. I’m going to get crafty and let you all in on it. I have a few projects coming up soon, have a look:
1. Paint two walls that will accentuate the exposed brick.
2. Freshen up an old dresser, to give my bedrooms some extra storage.
3. Create a home office were clients can come in feel welcome and chat.
