Cut His Teeth On Turquoise Harmonicas

Shawn and I spent all weekend carting our clutter and personal items and unnecessary furniture over to my parents' basement. We cleaned for hours. Our condo looks like a show suite. I kind of hate it.

Yesterday the photographer came through and photographed our condo for the listing. He did that thing that real estate photographers do, where they use a wide angle lens to make the rooms look bigger but really the rooms just look like they have slanty walls. Our listing went up last night. Our first open house is on Saturday. I really hate it.

The good thing about having a meticulous bedroom and a professionally shot photo of it, is that I can show you my beautiful turquoise accent wall! Here it is in all its glory:
I don't know the photographer's name but he took this photo and deserves the credit. Sorry, photographer.
*Updated! The photographer's name is Richard from rtomstudios.com*


We used C-I-L paint in Simcoe Lake on the accent wall and Veil on the remaining three walls. Shawn has already promised that we can recreate this room if we do end up selling our condo and buying a new one. And by "we" he means "he" - he just doesn't know it yet.

  3. That color is beautiful! So WHEN you sell your condo quickly, what's your plan? Another condo? A house? Same area? More suburban?

  4. Well, now I know what color I want on the wall behind our own bed--that's beautiful!

    Also, when we bought our house the photos of it were horrible, HORRIBLE. Nice photos make a difference for sure. Whenever it comes time for us to sell I will be taking the photos or we won't use that realtor, end of story.

  6. I love getting to see people's space ... it gives me an idea of how people hang on a day-to-day basis.

  7. Looks beautiful! I love the colors!

    And of course you hate it - the whole having to keep your place spotless for prospective buyers is a tremendous drag, as is being pregnant and having to vacate every weekend.

  12. Omg love love love! Now I'm thinking that maybe we should pair dark/deep turquoise with grey walls. Hmm..

    Also, I am insanely jealous of (what looks like?) a king-sized bed and I'm pretty sure Eric would be insanely jealous of the flat screen in the bedroom. He's dying for one in the bedroom ;)

  13. I think your turquoise accent wall is sex-ay. And you can tell it I said that.
