I decided more than a year ago to redecorate my bedroom. It was looking tired and being in the basement without a lot of natural light, it felt a little dreary. It was painted a sagey green from Martha Stewart and the closet was covered with tan silk drapes. Oatmeal carpet, dark wood furniture and a brown iron bed frame all added to the dull effect.

Lulworth Blue

Well that just sealed the deal and my plan for a blue and white bedroom was born. I kept picking up bits and pieces for the room. A silver dish for a candle holder, a bright green lamp to add a jolt of colour, and a pink chair to be recovered. I planned to paint the furniture white and sold the brown iron bed frame.
But then, I never went any farther. At first, I thought it was because I was busy with other things. But something was stopping me. I decided it would be a good cold weather job (too hot all summer to paint in the basement and I needed to work in the garden). I took down the closet drapes and got rid of them. Surely that would spur me on. No such luck. Then Christmas was approaching and I was too busy to think about starting a big project.
Well now it is January and I still haven't made any moves so I sat down and really examined my feelings to determine what was preventing me from picking up my paint brush.....
To be continued....
