Color Me Olive

I've always considered the bedroom as my ultimate place of sanctuary within our home.

This is where I get to spend "me" time after a long day's work.

This is where DH and I spend most of our undistracted moments with each other *wink* enabling us to give another undivided attention provided both our laptops have been turned off.

And it's my little piece of haven every waking morning where I find the most important people in my life, under one sheet. Yes, our boys never fail to "arrive" in our bedroom every 6am to "continue" snoozing after a toilet break.


Anyway, last week I pondered about giving my sanctuary a new look. It has been looking dull for the last 17 months and I thought it's about time we add "life" to it - like a feature wall.

The colour had to go with my natural/earthly colours around the house. I love purple but I had narrowed it down to shade of red or green.

DH was leaning towards green and I thought "red" was too warm. (I mean, the two of us are enough to make the room "hot". *Haha*). And the final choice was olive green!

So here's the new look and feel of our bedroom. I painted this wall for more than 3 hours. Made my back and legs damn sore for two days.
Like it?

We just love it!

See how my olive shirt assimilated with my new wall? Hehe!

nice room! cool colour! very relaxing. Ako i love purple din pero pag paint ng house, i love those na may shade ng olive and brown. Eto yung master bedroom namin sa Pinas. Mejo olive din yung colour.
