schoolroom makeover...day 1

Today I've begun a schoolroom makeover. This is what it looked like a couple of years ago. It has changed since to incorporate a long desk and we sold some of the bookshelves but the paint color was the same( which I love but is all beat up).

Sort of before except most things had been moved out.






So I decided to paint the schoolroom Benjamin Moore's Pale Oak OC-20 like the living room and dining room. But I wanted an accent wall so I painted it Green Energy by Behr (the same as I painted the frames in the dining room). I like how it contrasts with the yellow curtains but I'm not 100% committed to it yet so it may go Pale Oak :)



I have more things coming to tie the green color in.


The black door is actually painted with chalkboard paint. I thought it would be fun to have in the schoolroom.


So that is it for day 1. Next I need to repaint the stairway hallway in Pale Oak. Then finish painting some furniture and make a trip out to Ikea for some storage stuff! It's going to look so nice in there.
