Pin It I did it! I followed the color drenching trend. Was I nervous? Yup. Totally. But, honestly I absolutely love it! A quick view of the bedroom when we moved in . This bedroom has a very unique cabinet at the top of the wall. Originally had sliding doors and pendant lights (which I removed). First update during the first year of living at this #1951renovation.
