The Master Bedroom

The very first color I decided on was for the bedroom. I was kind of partial to Dutch Boy paint because an old high school chum used to wear a Dutch Boy hat around. Plus, I like the plastic paint jug with a pour spout. Plus, I picked up paint samples from Menard’s and they carry Dutch Boy.

I wanted a light blue for the bedroom because I wanted something that was serene. I initially had a difficult time not picking colors by their name alone. I really wanted to paint my room a color called Picasso’s Blue Period, but it was a very dark blue and my intention was to stay away from dark colors, except for in the kitchen and the accent wall for the living room.

After I gave up on Picasso, I became fixated on a color called Sense of Time. I knew for sure I had a winner when Jesse compared it to lavender. He thought it was effeminate.

Jesse has long standing sexual insecurities that make him make proclamations like that.

I had many aids in helping pick out the new look for the house, but I don’t know if any were more helpful than Shannon. She volunteered to go light fixture shopping and we spent many an hour in a hardware superstore standing in an aisle looking straight up at the ceiling.

The master bedroom ceiling fan.

I don’t know if ceiling fans are a big passion of mine. But I am very pleased with this ceiling fan. It is a Hunter and it can blast air at full speed and you never hear a thing.

The light switch plate cover (and the not pictured outlet covers) were purchased to match the chrome finish of the ceiling fan.
