Redecorated my room last weekend! (update #36: new colors for the "kitty room"!)

That is beautiful.. just striking! What a fantastic job you have done.

I especially like all the cat decorations .. two-dimensional AND three-dimensional.

I wish you could come and redecorate my apartment!

Gesh, I've been trying to pick out colors for a few years with no luck. You did an excellent, gorgeous job! I LOVE the colors! Your apartment is really lovely. And the kitties seem to agree!

Your bedroom turned out great and your cats sure do make wonderful art pieces too.
Do you have to keep your cats out of the room while you're painting it or are they good cats that will just sit there and watch you?

Wow Kirsten- you really have artistic skills- it's kind of an African style now and I think it looks very cool. Isn't it funny with design- it wears out, just like fashion does and then you have to go back and start new.

FANTASTIC Kirsten!! I love that deep brown colour!!

A few weeks ago I renewed our furniture & curtains too! Both are dark brown too! My hubby thought it would be to dark too; but now he loves it as much as I do

Thanks!

Well, re. my "helpers"... Luna couldn't care less, she spent the entire weekend on the top of the closet in the kitties' room, she didn't want to have anything to do with the mess. Lily tried to help at first, she was so excited and ran up and down the place. But after a while, she disappeared in the living room and wasn't seen before all the work was done.

Also, what kind of paint do you use? I'm afraid of the fumes and what it might do to the boys? It's been a long time since I painted so I suppose they've developed paint that is "green"/eco friendly?

Well, even though my paint wasn't labelled as "eco", I choose one that barely smells. The kitties and I didn't have any problem with it. It's been a high quality paint and they mixed the colors I chose at the store.
To be honest, I'm more concerned about the new carpet, as there's still a strong smell coming from it. Hope it's nothing that's doing any harm to the girls when they walk on it and lick their paws.

Wow your room looks awesome! I love the mix of colors... That room has good walls to do multiple colors on like that. And all of your accessories look great with the colors too.

Good to hear you stuck to your idea with the darker color. Some people are just afraid of color. Our master bedroom is charcoal.. And I love it! People's mouths hit the floor when I mention it and I just smile. There's no white rooms in our house! I've painted every one of them!

It looks great! I really love the color scheme.
