I’m starting to get crackin’ in the guest room. I made a rash decision when we first moved in and painted it a super-blindingly, bright aqua. This is why I didn’t say a dang word about the bright orange bedroom on Design Star last week. I believe it’s he who is without sin may cast the first stone. 😉 I’ve made a number of bad color choices. No big though; it’s just paint people. Better to have tried and repainted then never to have tried at all – right?! 😉

I snapped this pic after I had started cutting in with the new color. |
After repainting it Waverly’s Lambswool, I’m back on track now. I’ve decided to go neutral with pops of red so I can easily change the look of the room by switching out the accessories.
The room is sort of small for a king size bed, but we want our guests to be really comfortable when they visit. We moved our old mattress in here ( I say old but it’s only about 7 years old) when we bought ourselves a tempurpedic a few years ago. Best. Purchase. Ever. Anyhow, there was nothing wrong with the mattress we had so we moved it into our guest room.
Using all white bedding really helps to make the room look larger and less cramped. I just love all white on a bed! This set is from Target. The red rose pillows are from Pier 1 (last fall). The suzani pillow was a HomeGoods purchase. I’m slightly obsessed with it.
Now I just need to figure out what to do for headboard. Any ideas?
i think a curvy upholstered headboad would look fabulous- right now everything is so square- the bed, pillows, and even the shapes on the bedding, so i think curves would help soften the look. the bed looks very cozy so far!
