Another Home Improvement Project

Yesterday I decided to paint our office/den/reading room. The room was originally a very pale baby blue that didn't really suit the space. We have an oak desk and a big chocolate brown couch and the room felt somewhat cold with the light blue. I've been rather obsessed with turquoise and chocolate brown lately and I was excited to have a room to really decorate with this color palette. I'm a really bad painter, and I really don't like doing it, so this was quite a job for me. I originally set out to leave the baby blue base and paint turquoise stipes...but after three painful stripes I wasn't loving the effect so I decided to paint the whole room. You know how I love before and after shots, so here they are. My camera phone does not do the color justice...it is pretty turquoise and it looks awesome!
