NEW YEAR, NEW COLOR

Now that I am back on the blogging wagon, I thought I would share my latest makeover.

I bought a couple gallons of paint the last time Sherwin Williams had a paint sale. 

I didn't have them tinted at the time I bought them.

Last Friday I got a little wild hair.  

I took one of the gallons of paint to Sherwin Williams 

and had them mix up the Benjamin Moore color "Hale Navy".  

 I came home and got busy giving our powder room a new look.

The new look.........

I love the moody, dark color.

I have been itching to paint a room a dark color. 

This happened to be the perfect room. 

It gets plenty of natural light and it's tiny.

Have I mentioned I hate to paint? 

I switched out the mirror for a larger one. 

I gave this one a quick coat of white spray paint. 

It used to be stained dark brown.

I added a few accessories I found by shopping my house. 

I flipped the light that was already in here upside down and added the deep orange shades, 

which I already had.

It's not a permanent fix, but it works for now.

I added the wood frames with oversized mat, which I also already had.  

I am still deciding what to put in them.

This is what the powder room used to look like.  

I am still a fan of this Olive Leaf stencil, but I was ready for a change.

It was a pretty easy and inexpensive makeover.  

Especially since I already had everything on hand, even the paint.

I will be on the hunt for a new light fixture and something special to add to the frames. 

We are stuck inside today and the kids are home from school due to the snow and cold. 

I am starting to get a bit of cabin fever.

I might have to break out the paint brush again today.

Stay warm folks!
