A warning up front: though the room is painted, messy floors and cloudy days have prevented me from taking a final picture. So what you get are the pictures leading up to, but not including, our painted master bedroom. Stay tuned for the finished product.
Here is the "before" picture, prepped and ready to go. As usual, we washed the walls with a phosphate-free TSP cleaner (an odd name, given that TSP stands for tri-sodium phosphate) and protected the floors.
Note the--as D called him--"beached whale" of a cat enjoying the paper and drop clothes on the floor.
Another "before" picture, this time of the alcove, featuring beached whale and his brother.

Up for consideration were three from Sherwin Williams. From top to bottom are Clary Sage, Coastal Plain, and Willow Tree. I won't tell you which one we picked, so the next post will be a surprise. Not that it matters.
That's all for now. Oh, and Home Depot had a huge sale on mulch:
