Guest Room

I took the day off today to decompress after this long summer of weddings and birthday parties. It was just what we needed. I spent the day repainting the guest bedroom which was previously our bedroom. I had quite a few ideas including painting one wall red. I really wanted some pop in this room since it's also my office. Since this room will likely change again, I decided on this light color and add bold splashes using bedding and throw pillows instead.

The color is Vanilla Bean by Eddie Bauer in Satin. Its a creamy color with a yellow tint. They claim you don't need to prime but I totally had to prime. The blue was still showing through and made the wall look green.

I still have some touching up to do and the molding needs repainting. Since the room is a mix of furniture I'm painting some of it white for a cohesive look.

I moved the dresser to the other side of the room and put the bed here against this wall. I think I'd like to put up some wall shelves here and lean frames on it.

Today, I repainted all the trim and molding in white high gloss. We did a hasty job the first time around, so I wanted to make sure I did it right this time. Tomorrow I'll go over the edges again in Vanilla Bean and give the walls a second coat.
