Transformation

One of my summer projects this year was to paint my classroom.  Normally the janitors do this kind of thing, but with the Great Flood of 2010-2011, they have several other projects that don't allow time for extras like painting my room.  This is what my room looked like originally -

All of the walls were this lovely buttercream yellow.  Under other circumstances I might like the color, but my classroom is quite large and I had a lot of buttercream yellow. The main problem was choosing a paint color.  You can see from the picture I have a lot of browns.  What you can't see is the beautiful shades of green, tan, and black I have for my tile floor.  So several opinions and paint samples later I decided on Wildwood and Falling Ash (green and gray).  Day one involved trimming.  Thanks to the help of K & S, it only took one day.

We finished in 3 days, thanks to my coworkers who came to help. 
 And the results look like this -

This is the back of my room which houses the Yellow & Brown kitchens.

In the front corner of my room I discovered this bulletin board hidden behind some old burlap.  It was one of those things I didn't have time to investigate what it was until now.

I have to say I'm thrilled with the results.  And yes, I know the gray looks like white, but if you put white against it you can tell it's gray.  Now I just have to wait for the deep cleaning to be done and then I can decorate again!
