Guest Room Makeover

Apr 18, 2012 ·

You know what is such a luxury to me?  A guest bedroom.  For the last six years that I've lived in LA, my sweet friends and family have either slept on an air mattresses or booked hotel rooms while visiting.  Don't get me wrong, they have been real troopers about it but that's why I am so glad to finally be able to offer them an actual room. Which is precisely why I am obsessed with making it perfect!  Below are some of my inspiration photos that I are guiding me along the way...

I just finished painting the room and the color I chose was inspired by this room that was first featured in Domino in 2008.  I want the room to remind people that they are on vacation when they come to visit.  This shade is not only reminiscent of the nearby ocean by has a fun retro feel to it also.  I went slightly lighter to keep the room nice and bright!

The second revision I made to the room was to transform our current bedside lamps into bright pops of color... d-i-y tutorial coming soon!  I love these bright yellow lamp shades from this Domino mag image.

So the room is painted and I have my bright lamps... Now I am in major need of the details!  Art, linens, and objects are all on my shopping list.  This image above isn't a bedroom, but I love the stripe elements as well as the gorgeous framed photos that were used as wall art.

Will keep you posted!
