Here are some pictures of our master bedroom. We painted it a while ago. It was a long process. Simply because we couldn't decide what walls to do which colors and also the amount of coats we had to paint to cover the existing colors.
Keep in mind, these are pictures from my phone, so not the best quality, but you'll get the idea.
Here are some before shots.
I did a lot of the work during the day. I'd try to keep the kids occupied but when Zeke got fussy, I'd strap him on my back and keep working.
Eve wanted to help and most of the time, I try to let her be hands-on. So, I gave her my little sample paint pan and a small sponge roller. And put her to work painting on primer.

During the evenings, we would do more work and one night Eve started playing with Russ's tools. She made a bouquet of screwdrivers.
She also set them up by color and played with the dial caliper
So, here are the final photos
We painted a cool grey (pretty much white) and then two accent walls in a darker gray. The photos look a bit lighter than in real life.
We've got a few yellow accents and there are a lot of ideas I have to finish things up. Such as
* painting the side tables
*altering and putting on a bed skirt
*figuring out a headboard
*getting some art
*making new curtains
*possibly new/more pillows
*painting the dresser
*etc...

What a cute, cute helper you have! I like the gray; it reminds me of my master bath. And the yellow reminds me of my bedroom. Nice, soothing colors. I can't wait to see it in person. You all did a great job.
I like the alliteration you used in the bit about Eve painting in her panties. I also like that screw driver bouquet idea, I wanna market that to 1 800 flowers for Father's Day next year. I like the dark gray wall a lot and the white walls are well...white, but it all goes really well together. Can't wait to see what you do for a headboard. It's looking gooood!!
