I fell in love instantly. I love this navy so much – it’s not too dark – more cadet like. It is a Walmart Colorplace color called Inlet Blue. I have had it for years and when I went to see if they still had it, I couldn’t find that name. URGH!! But, in the meantime I found one that was super close from Behr called Mood Indigo. {side note – I do not like online color swatches, I don’t think they are a good representation of the color.} Here is a pic that shows a truer color against the white of the rest of the room.
The pattern is very subtle and if you are not right up next to it, you might miss it. Which is just what I wanted. Neutral with a little personality.
As I’ve said before, the big things for me need to be neutral so I can change out the lesser things when I get bored.
The next task is one that my heart has just not been into this week – painting trim and doors. Not my favorite task, but I plan on finishing out all the woodwork white as I work my way around the bedrooms this summer and fall, so it must be done.

What a great color! I love the fabric on the headboard, you can't beat a good herringbone! Keep up the good work, Denise!

Looking great – I would love to paint a room with navy walls at some point! Glad to hear the upholstered headboard was easy b/c it's on my ORC to-do list and I've been dreading it. Loving how it's coming along!!

Love the navy walls. What a great find with that fabric. That's the best when you find it on sale.

Denise, the new headboard is awesome!! I love the shape of it and the fabric. And the navy wall – I am a huge fan (my master is navy too.) The color is so wonderful for a cozy, serene space. Looking forward to seeing next week's episode!

Love the headboard and wall color. Since it is already hung, I won't bore you with a link. Good luck this week.

Looking great! That headboard is amazing! We tackled our master bedroom too with the ORC. So fun cheering each other on. Can't wait to see what you've done this week 🙂
