| So I've had enough... Of this horrible room..lol. its time for a change, and Im changing big time... My walls are yellow... for some reason I was crazy at the time... The floor is nasty.. Theres dog stuff and my stuff everywhere.. So im doing a clean sweep with some new things Im painting my walls brown, and also my ceiling the brown color, but im deluting it so it won't be as dark. Im getting new sheets, im getting new furniture, im putting a new shelf in my closet.. those are just a few of the things. So now I need you guys help.. I need a dresser and a lingerie chest.. I want it to be brown but I am open to any style, etc. I also need help with either a dark curtain OR some type of darkening shade to where I can sleep during the day. Any pictures, suggestions would be great:0 Im not going to start on this for about another 2 weeks, Im waiting on Josh to come help me. So I have some planning time. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Sounds like you have the new bug...it should be fun. Mmmmh check Ikea..I was there yesterday and I think I saw a nice comforter cover that was a brown. Walmart has some good sales going on so check them out too for new linens. I would say if your doing the wall a brown then maybe do the ceiling an off white it will be a nice addition next to the brown. Don't go too dark on the wall color because it will make the room look smaller...not sure how big your bedroom is.

| I have heard if you go darker, then paint your celiing the same color, but delute it 50% and it will make your eyes look up.. but Im not going to dark, just a normal brown of some sort. |

| I have a blackout shade for when I would work at night and sleep during the day. I got mine from walmart and it was super easy to install and it works great. It is just the white pull down shade and it makes my room like night during the day! Good luck, it sounds like everything is going to be really pretty. Also I just helped my friend paint her room a color at Lowes called Gypsy Leather, from the valspar collection. I think it looks so rich and pretty! Have fun!

| Scince you are going brown, I got chocolate brown micro suede shades at target. They are fantastic at keeping the light out |

| Ok I will post some pics of before and after Im excited about doing it. I would check IKEA but the nearest one is in atlanta, and I don't have a truck to transport the stuf.. I will prob go to Pier One since I use to work there and get a really good discount. |
