As you all know I was gone for a week at Girl’s Camp and while I was away my hubby surprised me by painting our bedroom to match our bathroom!! Oh yea!! I was thrilled when I opened up the door to our bedroom and saw the beautiful robin’s egg blue covering all our walls. He is one amazing man I must say! I love surprises like that. He did the guest bathroom about a year ago and surprised me with that too. I tried to to surprise him by painting our bathroom but as you may remember I threw my back out and couldn’t finish it so he ended up having to do it. He did a good “while you were out” for me. Now I just have to decide what I want to put above our bed. I used to have lots of family photos there but I want a more clean look. I think I will put the photos on the other side of our bedroom around the armoire and maybe just one large black and white photo above our bed. I will keep you posted. I have attached before and after pics.
This is the before that had yellow walls and lots of photos above our bed. I did like this look too but I think I want just one thing above my bed this time.I also found this photo….this was the before, before picture. This looks more country to me but I liked it too. Yes I know what you are all thinking…she changes things all the time. Yep…I do…. but for very little money! 1 gallon paint for the bedroom, my mom gave me the black and white comforter cover in the above pics, the flowy white curtains and rods were from Ikea (CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP), Spray painted the furniture black and cheap black frames from Walmart! Let me know which room you like best. Karin 🙂
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Ther both nice but I do love the black and white better. Its good to change one in awhile....good job as always Sandi
Love it! Love the blue! While Cameron's mom was staying with us, she commented to Danielle, "your mom has decorated very nicely, but the place really needs some color." So very true.
Madeline Yes I am a lucky woman and so are you! Peter is an awesome guy.

LOVE the black and white and blue. That one is my favorite!!!!
Maybe white plates above the bed?
I love the black and white with the blue--it's the same as my room! I'm finishing up a mini re-do (and getting my blog back up and running) so I will post you pics when I do. I have more that I want to do now that I've seen your take on the same color scheme!
THANKS!
You are such a lucky woman! I wish Peter would paint my house for me... well I guess that is near impossible since we rent but you get the idea. He did surprise me with a clean kitchen today, that was really nice!
