update, week(s) 5 and 6

I'm not really following the book's schedule very well...I've tried, but a minor home disaster and then a vacation kind of threw a wrench in the works.

I've been priming my bedroom in order to paint it the new Yolo color "Water 01", this weekend.
I've primed one wall a night after work this week so far, and I'm almost done. I've got one more half wall to do tonight and then it'll be painting time!

















I also ordered these sconces to go on either side of the bed (which will be on the wall facing the camera in the previous shot.)




















And I almost got these awesome nightstands, but some lucky soul beat me to it!!!



















The good thing at least about that is now I know what I'm looking for...I've looked at so many nightstands over last few weeks that my head has been swimming with them. I freaked when I saw these "That's it!"...but I didn't act fast enough.
I'm hoping someday I'll find something similar.
I thought about doing just shelves or cubby-wall-mounted type things like some fellow curers suggested, but I realized I really need as much storage as I can get. The idea of having two whole drawers on either side of the bed to use for little items that pile up around our dressers and bed, just sounded SO exciting.
I know...I'm easily excited, obviously, but really, the idea made me ecstatic. :)

And what would an update be without the (as suziegoombs so accurately described) "ubiquitous flower photo"
