Guest Bedroom - A Work In Progress

As you can see from the new look of the blog, some changes have taken place. I love the new look and again have to thank Brooke from 

Uplifted Designs

Brooke was the one that did my blog redesign last year too.  

I love how easy she is to work with and how she just "gets" me and what I want! If you are thinking of updating your blog, give Brooke a shout 

and tell I sent you!

In keeping with the new looks theme, I believe I have mentioned somewhere in the past that the previous owners of our new home had several little girls? And that they had decided to paint their bedroom a very very pink pink? In high gloss paint?  Well, If I haven't before, yes, all of that is true.

These photos don't even begin to show just how bright of pink this room was.

And shiny bright pink.

What you don't see are all of the princess, butterfly and other stickers little girls love, all over the walls.  

Suffice it to say, we kept the door to this room shut at all times!

A few weekends ago, I was lounging on the couch and I heard something going on in the back of the house. I got up and and found Mr. B with a can of primer and a brush in his hand.  He'd had enough and could take no more of this assault on our sense of sight.

He had already begun the tedious task of cutting in when I found him.

In no time at all he had all of the walls primed and ready for paint.  

He could have left it like this and it truly would look so much better than before.

We had already discussed that when the time came that we painted this room we would use the color that is in the rest of the house.  The previous home owners had left a tiny bit left in a can in the basement so we went to Home Depot and the fine folks there were about to get a darn near perfect match for us.

By the end of the weekend, he had two coats up and it looks beautiful!

I got the some pictures and other pieces up on the wall to help add to the warmth the room now has.

And, I am on the lookout at the thrift stores, garage sales and Craigslist for a dresser to go on this wall.  A mirror would be a nice find too as well as some beside tables. Just like everything else, 

the guest bedroom is a work in progress.

My goal is to make the room a restful place for weary guests to lay their heads and be able to enjoy there visit with us.
