Master bedroom, check, Hallway, check.

For those who didn't know me at the time, I bought my house because I loved the master bedroom. Not. It was pretty hideous, although not nearly as hideous as the wallpaper my friend Terry-Ann had in one of her bathrooms when she moved into her house -- cats in cowboy hats. seriously people? seriously? I had the joy of a gorgeous fuchsia-ish accent wall and pale yellow walls with the most awesome floral border ever. The hall was papered in a rather boring blah vertical stripe. Need I say more? Check it out.

Obviously, the fuchsia and yellow and the gorgeous wallpaper border had to go.

In an effort to go neutral, the purple (and all my crap) got a makeover -- as did the green in the hall. Check out the not so trippy new shroomy look. I totally give the guys at Porter Paints in Vicksburg major props -- it only took two coats to cover the periwinkle purple. The first shot also shows you a smidge of the new look in the hall -- wallpaper turned to green turned to stone gray. The house is really starting to shape up and look good. Madison appears to approve as well.
