Going dark

I am soooo unbelievably sleepy writing this post, I blame it on Dexter. The show. The BF and I have been having dvd marathons (thank you bro#3 for sending them my way), and we're now on season 3 in just 3 freakin days! DVD series are my pringles, once I pop, I can't possibly stop until I'm done!

But don't dare think that I stalled on my projects, I managed to slip some work between episodes. I'm almost done with my secretary desk, and I've painted my bedroom wall! 

This is my room 2 days ago:

and I want it to look like this:


So from this:

To this:
Yeah it's not the best picture ever, crappy night photo and super messy room. But I look past the mess and think about what this room will look like in a few weeks! I love the color, it's deep dark charcoal with a hint blue. Look how the air conditioner blends a lot better with this wall color! And if you are too observant to notice the vodka bottle in the pictures, I swear I'm not a drunk, it's water! Just sayin.. :)


And to those who's wondering why I'd cover the window behind the bed, here's why:
My very special view --a not so nice parking space of a restaurant. It's also being used as training ground for security guards on some Sunday mornings! No they're not shooting anyone, just lining up and following drill orders from one loud commander. I swear I know when everyone's facing left or right without even looking!

So yeah, I'll take my faux wall curtain any day.

    This is really going to ground your bed, can't wait to see how the "faux wall" turns out - so clever!

    I'm excited to see the final project.

    That's hilarious about the security guard training. Sorry it's right outside your window!

    @Rachel - I'm sorry about my window view as well. But I'm used to it, and at least I got an excuse to add another "wall" to my room :)

    @Kelley - I love love that room! Great to see the whole of it. Thanks for sending it my way, will surely be an inspiration for my bedroom makeover. ;)
