Paint! The saga concludes.

It is finished. And I love it. The blue is not too BLUE, it is not really a kid's blue (we don't love kid's colors - if that makes sense) - it is a nice calm, tranquil silver-blue. And the brown is a rich, delicious, chocolate brown. It makes Finn's bed look more brown - which is great (I dislike the reddish tones of the bed), and it just matches all the stuff that's in there. Perfect.


So now his room is a few inches smaller, due to the many coats of paint, but it looks great.


I think I can safely say I won't be painting for a while. But I can also say it was worth it to see it through and not to settle because it looks fantastic. (Aside, of course, from all the little specks and dots of paint on the ceiling/baseboards/carpet - which got there because by the end I just didn't care anymore.)
