take down the drapes and repaint this room.
Yesterday, I got in one of those moods. I painted all day. (Sherwin-Williams Neutral Ground)
Should have done it sooner.
Here's the "before."
Actually, those pictures were the "in between." You can read the post about where I ordered the daybed cover HERE.
The real "before" was this:
Sometimes I try too hard to work with things as they are. At first, I attempted to decorate around the stenciled walls and heavy drapes that were in the house when we bought it.
No more.
My next plan is to frame pages from a botanical book for the wall behind the daybed.
Heartfully,
Eilis

ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable room! The paint color you chose is pitch perfect and the bedding is simply scrumptious!
Hi Ellis, Your guest room is beautiful. It's amazing what lighter colors can do. I especially love the bedding. Mind sharing where you found it? We have such similar tastes. Hope you visit me at Bringing French Country Home.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
DeleteI looked and looked for a linen daybed cover. I finally contacted an etsy seller who had one for a twin bed and asked her to make me a daybed one. The last time I checked she was also offering the daybed version. I will add the link to the post.
Love your blog! We do have very similar taste :)
love how fresh this room looks after the makeover! great job :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful makeover!
ReplyDeleteThe paint color is so pretty and it all ties in with the French Country look. I love the daybed and the chest.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you've freshened up this room with lighter painted walls and taking down of the draperies. Paint really does work miracles. Beautiful!

You've almost convinced me to pick up the paint brush and get to work in our house. Paint makes so much difference. I liked the room before but I love it now. Lighter and prettier. :)

ReplyDeleteIn the event that your guests will impart a washroom to relatives, it may be a smart thought to give the guest room these provisions. That route there won't be any unbalanced crises amidst the night.clinton mo hotels
ReplyDeleteEvery guest has their own inclination with regards to resting game plans. Have duvets, covers and sofa-beds promptly accessible. Keep in mind forget that diverse guests will have distinctive necessities, so keep the bed there with hypoallergenic pads for the individuals who may require it.motels in hays ks
