Bedroom Redo, Teddy and Toad

John and I slept in this morning (we got up at 8:30, which is sleeping in for us!) and we decided it was time to paint our room the silvery gray we wanted. When we were in the townhouse we had a silver gray room and loved it! We decided to give Glidden paint from Home Depot a try. Megan told us it is thick paint like Benjamin Moore, which we love but less expensive. We picked Misty Moonstone and the room came out just the color we wanted! We have a beachy kind of feel in that room and we achieved that. Here are some before and after photos of our room.

Our room looking from the Master Bath Before.

My dresser side of the room-before.

Window side of the room now. Makes those beautiful white curtain stand out more!

Another after picture :)!

Ocean Dune watercolor my Mom painted. This painting looks great with the new color!

My Mom had painted this ocean watercolor too. Looks great with the silvery gray!

Our repurposed pewter lamps look great with the new color too :)!

I just had to show you this little pillow Megan made for me when she was about 8 yrs. old (she is 30 now). We were at the Beach and she cut this material out and filled it with tiny shells and gave it to me that Mother's Day-it tugs at my heart every time I see it! I keep it on my nightstand so I can see it every day.

Friday night John and I were reading in the family room and he got up from the couch to get a glass of water. I had to laugh as soon as he was in the kitchen (which you can see from the family room) Teddy decided the couch was just much more comfortable than the floor!! He is just so cute!!

Teddy still looking cute but looking a little sheepish because John came back to sit on the couch! John let him stay there though-what a softie!!

I was out watering my container plants on the patio tonight after dinner and a toad scared the living daylights out of me-I thought it was a snake! I can't stand snakes, but it is just our little resident toady! I wish he would eat more mosquitoes-they are terrible this year.

Well that is about it for me tonight. What a great day!
