What else you got?

This weekend I got my revelation! All of the sudden I knew the colors I wanted for the guest bedroom. I got 2 different paint colors and some wall hooks at World Market ($1.99 each and I had a coupon) This is what I got so far...


I tested the wall paint yesterday and it was perfect. I went back to the room several times to see how it looked throughout the day. 

Last night:


This morning: 

I love the color! It's perfect for this room. It's light and crisp. 

But before the painting fun begins I'll be working on the baseboards. They are looking dull. Yesterday i caulk half of the room, today I'm planning on getting the rest done. It's not as fun as painting but it adds to the finished product. 

Before:

Yuck!

After: 

Much better already! When I finish with the walls I plan on painting the baseboards crispy white. It's gonna be so nice!!!! I can see it! 

The colors I picked are: 

Behr's Dark Cobalt Blue
Glidden's Stone White

Both at Home Depot.

I decided to make a list. I love lists. I love to check things off.
