Twas the Project Before Christmas

I know you're not supposed to do big projects right before the holidays, but once I get an idea and a plan in my head, I can't stop until it's done. I painted our bedroom. I've been thinking about it since the contractor put a hole in the wall while building the porch. The old gray had a blue tone to it, but the new paint has a purple tone. It a little darker, but it's a warmer color. I didn't like all the different colors of blue in the bed quilt so I ran out and got a cheap navy comforter and folded the quilt at the end. The solid color makes it flow better I think.







You can see the new curtains in this picture. They are navy check with a berry ring for a tie back. I'm not sure I'll be able to use the other blue ones in the Summer with the new wall color so luckily these go well.
