Guest Room Progress + A Light Paint Matched to a Skirt


We are rolling right along over in our Guest Bedroom Makeover. This past weekend we finished up the trim + paint, installed the bed AND switched out the ceiling fan for a chandelier. 


I found the chandelier on Facebook Market Place for $40. I drove to get it last week and was excited about the elegant factor it was sure to add to the space. We got it hung Saturday morning and the room instantly felt elevated.


Next, Brent put together the bed we purchased from Wayfair and guys - this bed was $146.75. Such a good price for a king bed and we were really pleased with the look and quality once it was set up. The only negative....the bronze color of the bed was fighting with the brassy/bronze color of the light. While we liked the color of the light we knew from the beginning we may end of painting it so we started tossing around paint color options - white, gray....plum? HA - one of these is not like the other but believe it or not Brent and I almost instantly agreed that a dramatic deep purple/plum color in a semi-gloss sheen could look really great in the space. The inspiration - a faux leather skirt of mine. Brent took the skirt to Home Depot and color matched it. Pretty spot on, right?


Next, Brent set up a make-shift paint booth out by the shed so he could spray the light. 


I have to admit it was a little scary watching the light turn from a pretty brassy color to plum, but we kept reminding ourselves it was just paint and if it was hideous we would just re-paint it. 


It took a few coats and we let it dry for several hours before bringing her back inside to install. 


Photographing this light was a beast. Daylight savings has not been my friend when it comes to capturing the true colors of the space, but the shot above is the best I got to really show off the color. Overall, we think we like it. I especially love how the glossy deep purple hue accentuates the details of the chandelier. We purchased these candelabra sleeves also from Amazon for each light so the electrical wires would be concealed. The color definitely feels good in the space, but I knew I needed to see the whole space come together with bedding, etc...to know for sure. I found these sheets on Amazon, another great deal - $29.70  for a King Sheet Set. There are 62 THOUSAND reviews raving about these sheets so I gave them a whirl. I got the white, and so far, they are super soft and nice. We got the bed all made up last night and things are feeling really good. Next up - nightstands, lamps, art....you know, more pretty. Excited to get this space wrapped up soon, just in time for the holidays!

  1. According to Stanford Medical, It's in fact the one and ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh 19 kilos less than we do.

    (And actually, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and EVERYTHING about "how" they are eating.)

    BTW, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...

  4. Simply this was an awesome read through. I was lucky enough for that I was interested in diving into some guest room decor and bedding related ideas and contributions online. And amazed when I found this post. The reveal of chandelier was really exciting. I love to admit the room looks so so elegant and glaring. Love your guest room decor ideas and innovation. BTW what's your idea about velcro bed skirt?
