My new room is officially painted!

I had originally wanted to go with a dark purple. These were all of my options.

I aso randomly decided to pick up a few turquise and aqua colored paint chips and I’m glad I did because after staring at the [albeit gorgeous] purple paint chips for ages, I decided the turquoise was much more me.

Andddd finished! I wanted the shelf sticking out to really pop so I left it white.

The entire thing took about 4-5 hours through the course of the day. We had to tape the entire room, paint the first layer, wait several hours, paint the second layer, and then go back the next day to take the tape off.
