a year later: the guest bedroom is finally just how I want it

 I'm breaking from my usual tradition of updating along the way of a room re-do, and going straight to the finished product pictures. The guest bedroom is finally, finally ..... FINALLY finished!  And I am so happy. See the pillows in the photo above? I dyed them myself:)

I bought a cheapo bedskirt from Target and dyed it as well in a stripey, splattery pattern.

This project inspired me to start collecting color samples by dipping card stock in paint, coffee,  or whatever else I think is a pretty color and something I might like to remember. Weird, I know, but I like it!

Just about the only thing in the room that hasn't changed is the location of the bookcase and Picasso prints above it. 

The credenza on the right I built myself. It has a loooooong way to go before it's all done, but it already provides a great work surface and tons of storage. See the giant gold knobs? I made them out of mason jar tops:)

This picture of me and my mama was my inspiration for the big blue painting on the far right. I put the canvas on a wall and used the projector to trace the image, and then embellished it with shades of blue paint.

I'm finally content with the room, and I don't think I'll be changing it for a long time. I hope you enjoyed the reveal, even though you didn't have to wait for it!
