If you've been following along for awhile you've likely seen my moody teal bedroom. It was the perfect sea of blues and greens with no shortage of color pops. While I love the dark and moody sometimes it's not the best for my mental health especially on those long gloomy overcast days. The calm and serene deep blues occasionally turns into a dark cave and well, it's time for a change.
A big change in the other direction!
Bright Kelly Green! Or more accurately Clare's Matcha Latte. I pulled inspiration from the green door and green dresser deciding to color drench the entire room in this bright and lively hue. If you're looking for a bold change don't shy away from painting the ceiling (even as daunting as it looks) because it often makes the room look even bigger and boy did it!
And while it was a bit of a task to paint the entire room plus the ceiling it was well worth the effort even with a few hiccups. There's always hiccups with home projects, isn't there? At the homestretch when I ran out of paint mid-ceiling, in a pinch I took the color to Home Depot to color match it. After a few trips and tries they were finally able to match the color pretty closely. Whew! On to the next hiccup when I finally got the ceiling painted and ready to change the light fixture we discovered the hole was much too big for the fixture and we pivoted to adding a ceiling medallion. Painting it, you guessed it, green! It turned out amazing and adds the perfect amount of texture to the brass globe flush mount light I picked!
I also swapped out the brass globe lights on our headboard with glass plug in sconces. I couldn't stand the cords so I wrapped them with silk scarves! It's such a clever and unique way to cover unsightly cords and easy swapped out with you moods and desires.

I kept the floral Ted Baker bedding from this post and brought back my velvet Annie Selke euro shams from this post. It's like a bright spring day.
I finally tackled the big empty wall between the bedroom door and door out to the backyard by creating a massive gallery wall! I incorporated a bit of originally art, some art I commissioned the kids to create along pieces I received from friends and family. I even hung the dated TV and incorporated in the gallery wall - it looks so much better! We covered the IKEA Brimnes Wardrobes with Peel and Stick wallpaper but I'll share that in another post because a lot was learned on the expedition and it deserves a full post. But I will note I swapped out the hardware on the bed for little drawer pulls and they look so cute!
I went ahead and painted the little pink dresser so I would have two matching green dressers to blend into the gallery wall and created a DIY hanging pendant lamp with this gorgeous lampshade (diy post here). In addition to new bolder and brighter curtains I hung some plants from the ceiling to drive home the fresh spring day theme.
I love all of the details...
