More Silliness on Sam’s Room

Yes, it’s January now and Sam’s room still isn’t done. LOL – Oh well. With her midnight wakings I’m not sure I want her in a stupid bed anyway. Blah.

So, I had our handyguys over to do a whole bunch of things to the house and in the process had them do a primer coat. Since I was planning on doing dark teal on the bottom and light teal on the top, the guys at Home Depot said I should tint my white primer with just a little teal color. So that is what I did! I told them the color I wanted and they just did 25% of it in the white. Except the blue turned out REALLY dark (for a primer!) so I was thinking we would just leave that color for the top and still do the bottom dark teal with the border of polka dots.

At this point, the lady I found who does hand painted furniture and who said she could do it for me stopped calling me back. 🙂 She said she had four tables due this week and I talked to her before Christmas. I called her back before Xmas to request a price, cause I forgot, and she never called me back. I’ve called her twice this week now and no return call. *sigh* Plus, Justin kept saying, why do we need a darker color on the bottom? Why can’t we just have this color? She likes this color.

She DOES like this color. She loves the blue room. I think she loves running down the hall and jumping on the mattress more but she loves the blue color. LOL – Plus, I just got her comforter and accent pillows in the mail and the purple comforter is NOT a rich dark purple like it looks in the catalog and website. Go and compare those colors! Gah!

Anyway, it’s not that bad, right? I still have time to return it, I suppose. But it’s really soft. The pink is also really pastel but the teal is right on. So I think I will keep the comforter.

After looking at those colors above for a few days and enduring Justin’s nagging about leaving the color alone… I was thinking it might be best to just leave it one color. If we did do two colors then the polka dots would HAVE to be over lapping. because how would the two colors meet? The polka dots would have to be the border between them. And I was thinking how strict it would be with the polka dots overlapping and how friendly it might be with polka dots floating around in a border but not really touching each other.

I really do over anaylze this stuff, huh? For someone who is not artistic! haha! It’s kind of funny cause the rest of my house is NOT decorated at all.

So here was the orginal idea, in my head, out to Photoshop and posted here. LOL – I just did this now to conceptualize it. And I think it looks really bad. But I suck at this stuff anyway. Eww, the picture is pixelated but I had five colors. Pink, purple, green, and then orange and yellow for accent smaller polka dots. I was thinking two different sizes. The colors are off here, I’m just photoshopping it.

But if we kept it the same color then the polka dots could float around. The orange looks hidious now that I”ve seen the blue on the wall. The pink, purple, and yellow all look good though. I’d like to do green, but not the green I picked out, I need to find a different shade. Here is a thought of how it would look.

Any thoughts?? Anyone? 🙂 Any comments or suggestions are always appreciated! Once it’s done I think it will look really cute! I also got the ok to buy the nightstand and the tall dresser from Pottery barn. They will go right next to each other on the right, it will be a little crowded now that we are using our extra queen mattress instead of a smaller twin bed but it should be ok.

Once you walk in, the left side will be where the cubbies will be at. I will be painting those whatever colors I decide to do on the polka dots. Of course now they are on sale at Company Kids. LOL – Oh well. I’m thinking they will be pink, purple, yellow, and one other color. Maybe the dark teal to bring it all in? Or the same teal as the walls? I like how the catalog has it where the top and bottom are both pink and white, switched off – while the middle row has two different accent colors.

Well, that’s what I’m thinking about now. 🙂
