Behaving like a proper adult

Our bedroom before painting, nice but boring. Bill wanted to paint it brown but we compromised on taupe. Here is the after shot, I took this last night around 6:30 pm so the light isn't great but you can see the huge change in color. I think we will pick up an affordable bed frame at Ikea as a birthday gift for me. I'm turning 35 for crying out loud, I should have a bed frame like a proper adult.

We put up black curtains and it's harder for me to get out of bed in the morning now that it's so dark in the bedroom. I need a few more pictures to hang in the bedroom so my goal for the weekend while we are camping is to take some photos that can be printed as black and white to hang up. I also need to make some throw pillows for this room and then it will be done. Maybe new lamps too. Bill hates it when I get going like this but everything I buy is either on sale or from Ross or some discount store, at least I don't buy everything from Crate and Barrel. His life could be so much worse!

We should have the kitchen and living room ready to photo by tomorrow, we're just finishing up the final touches. I am making covers for the throw pillows on the couch and painting a mirror for the dining room so I'm the hold up. We were gone Monday (mexican dinner at a friends that ended with drinking rum out of a pineapple) and Tuesday night (pizza and beer) with friends so I'm behind on projects. Dang friends! Quit inviting us out, we're trying to get stuff done! Just kidding. The rum in the pineapple was totally worth it.
