Remember last year when I decided to participate in the One Room Challenge and finally whip our guest bedroom in to shape?  You may recall that I failed miserably due in large part to a major snafu with one of the key design elements I had planned for the space.  My failed attempt to install removable wallpaper changed the plan up a bit.  Then the holidays came and went, and a few other projects got bumped to the top of the priority list.  But now I’m ready to get this guest bedroom project done!

A Peek at the Progress
I finally got the art and these vintage pineapple sconces hung on the wall. Â This black and white umbrella print from CC + Mike fits with the vibe of the room just perfectly!


Since the wallpaper didn’t work out I chose to add some drama and depth to the room by painting the ceiling a dark charcoal, almost black, Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze. Â Then I had the contractor that installed the bookcases in the hubs office nook add crown moulding. Â The combination of the dark ceiling and crown moulding made the room feel and look larger. Â I’m actually glad the wallpaper didn’t work out or else I might not have considered painting the ceiling. Â This dark charcoal adds so much to this room.

I love the way the light fixture pops against the dark ceiling.


Now there are just a few more small accessories I want to add to this space, and then our guest room will be officially open for business! Â I’m looking forward to sharing a reveal very soon!





I’ve never seen a ceiling darker like that before, I really like it! It adds a lot of character to the room!
