We painted the walls prior to moving in. It was a quick fix. The walls have been covered in wallpaper and painted over several times. The walls need to be stripped and the plaster repaired. Although, I have fallen in love with the color scheme and intend to keep it.

All the woodwork in the room, except for the windows, was originally painted a muted gold color. The windows were sealed with a clear varnish, no stain. The plaster walls were a blue gray color and the ceiling was a light tan. Over the years the woodwork has been painted several different colors, including pink.

I started to strip the paint and peel off the wallpaper in the dormer last winter to discover what was underneath all that paint.

Taken from our bed.
