![]() ![]() While I’m typically much more comfortable in the cool color family (navy, deep hunter greens, etc), I’m really enjoying the warmer hues that complement my existing cool palette lately. Funny enough, last week I had my zodiac colors read at a party and my top color came back very similar to the darkest color in this room… kind of maroon. I wanted to paint it a color that gave it that same feeling all day long- whether light was streaming in, or not. Late afternoon and evening is when this room really shines and feels warm. Aside from having the best view in our house that overlooks the city and mountain landscape, it does have a tendency to feel cold and dark for the majority of the day, given the placement. It’s also tucked back into a dormer nook that sits atop our garage. This space only has one large window and it’s facing west. Speaking of paint- let’s chat color! I was really craving something warm, rich, and interesting in this room. I decided to forgo additional trim and work with the existing crown and base in this room. I didn’t want to add too much moulding, as I was planning to experiment with paint and line work in this space… adding too much millwork could have made this bedroom feel far too busy, so I decided to keep things simple. I did most of the heavy lifting for this one, while Emmett continues to work on the labor intensive entryway renovation. I hoped I could make everything feel cohesive as my design plan evolved. ![]() My plan was to knock this out on a budget and use things we already owned. It’s packed with vintage finds I’ve collected over the years (like the nightstands & my beloved blue lamp), a few pieces we purchased immediately upon moving in ( the bed and armless sofa), and even some things that came with us from our previous homes (the bench, demilune table, etc). You probably recognize most of the furniture and decor in this room. Our next guests will be Laurie Anne & her husband in a few weeks. This is our only guest bedroom with a king size bed, so it’s typically the one we offer couples who visit. ![]() My sister & brother-in-law visited a couple weeks ago and they were the first to enjoy this newly updated space. We’ve already had our first house guests stay in this room- with rave reviews, in terms of functionality. Aside from replacing the doors, carpet, and lighting, I think the paint treatment and styling really carries this space and makes it one of our more budget-friendly makeovers. It has certainly come a long way since these real estate listing photos, but I have to say- we didn’t do anything too crazy in here, in terms of costly renovations. Click through for the complete tour & sources! Step in and check it out…īefore we dive in, here are some highly pixelated reminders of what this space look liked when we first moved in… a shell of a room with gray carpet, weird corner shelves, and builder grade fixtures. I primarily used furniture & decor I already had, tackled this space on a tight budget in a relatively short time period, and I think it ended up packed with personality, layers, and cozy comforts. ![]() It’s located upstairs, just next to the guest bath, and I have to say… I’m really proud of how this one came together. I’m so excited to share our maroon (ish… it’s one of those chameleon colors) guest bedroom reveal with you today! It’s a space that has been evolving since we moved into our home– and it’s the guest room that gets the most use, probably because it’s the largest guest bedroom under our roof. ![]()
