I spent a good part of my day today helping my parents paint their bedroom in the color I picked out, In Your Eyes by Benjamin Moore. My dad kept referring to it as “in your face.” I’m so pleased with the color, though.  The room looks very sparse at the moment, but the color palette we’re building is calming, and serene and definitely sets a coastal tone. Before, the room was beige.  My mom chose the color when they first moved in, just to get something on the wall.  She’s never been in love with it and I think it’s because it wasn’t an intentional choice.  It was a default one. We tried out some test swatches last week and In Your Eyes, the middle color, was the one we both liked the best.  Dad didn’t get a vote, which suited him just fine. Here’s how the other side

Here is how it started.  It was in a pretty sad

I went over to my mom & dad’s house today to take some before pictures of their master bedroom, the one that’s my next makeover project. I shared the concept for the room in part 1, but here’s a reminder… The space right now is a pretty blank slate.  My parents moved here a few years ago and my mom’s always been a little stuck on this room. (As an aside, when I first got to the house, my mom went running to the bedroom in front of me.  She said she wanted to make sure it was nice and clean.  She didn’t want to have happen to her what happened to Megan!  In case you missed it, I went to Megan’s house to work on her master bedroom and we ended up working on her home office instead, which happened to be the room where she threw all of
