Be Our Guest, Be Our Guest.....

Once upon a time, our guest bedroom was not a very welcoming place.  The walls had numerous and very large holes in them that marked where the former owners had hung various pieces.  As you can see, I got a bit ahead of myself, and forgot to take a pic of the room before I stripped the old items out.

I went ahead and painted the room a wonderful robin's egg blue.  It is called Woodlawn Blue by Benjamin Moore.  I just absolutely love this color!!!!  Also, I gave all the hand-me-down furniture a new fresh look with the some black paint from Benjamin Moore (you will have to forgive I am not listing the color because I am too lazy to walk down stairs and look).

Almost there....

Take 4.... You might remember this little side table I sanded down and repainted awhile back...

Take 5.....

So there you have it..... It took about a year to put this room together, but I am happy with the results.  There are a few things that I would like to add (crown molding and a chair, but in due time we will add these items).  My goal was to provide a restful retreat for our guests, and I think I have done exactly that..... So often we rush rooms, and repent in leisure.  I am glad I took a slow approach to putting this beauty together.

For those that may have missed my paint mention above, the paint color is Woodlawn Blue by Benjamin Moore in a satin finish.  It is just the right robin's egg blue color.... Can't get enough of this color!
