Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde office

My most recent project has been painting our office.  Like the rest of the house, it was/is a pale orange. I'm not kidding you every single room in the house was the same color, except for one accent wall and an accent cut out. Yes it was as ugly as you're thinking. 

Look at this beauty, the ceiling matches the walls. yippee my favorite!

Yikes posting this made me realize I need to organize this desk!

Slowly I've been working on ridding the house of this color.  The color itself isn't bad, but I ended up hating it because it was everywhere! Not only on the inside, the outside of the house is the same color.  I can't help but wonder what was going on in the last owners' minds when they did this. I'm sure everyone feels this way occasionally. Because of the huge desk I was only able to paint one side of the room at a time, so  it reminded me of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 

Here's the finished side which would make it the good one...ok so I had to look it up the good guy is Dr. Jekyll so here he is.

 It also made me think of siblings who fight over sharing a room and put tape down the middle.  My memory of it is probably from the old tv show Sister Sister, since I didn't have a sibling until I was nine, I have no personal experience. I always wished I had a twin who I could share a room with and fight over said room with. Sadly I didn't. But here is the progress so far.

Here's the gorgeous transition.  It shows a more accurate depiction of the new color a neutral gray which is Pebble Stone from Behr.

When the whole room is finished I'll show it.
