My Sister's Guest Room Reveal

 It's been a big week for me getting ready for my sis to move in.
We converted our playroom into a guest room for her.
Here is a recap:
 
 ...assessing all the work ahead...

...the realization that the wallpaper went on way easier than it's going to come off....

...the morning this angel offered to help me...love you, Karen...

...overcoming my denial that I could somehow make the first three colors work...

...going through a few toads before finding the one...

...and finally, loving how everything came together.

I'll be back soon to share how I finally found the right color.
I am just so happy to have my sister here.

I am so blessed to have an older daughter and son-in-law who are willing and happy to open their very busy home to their younger sister. And, I'm thankful for a younger daughter who knows how to blend right in, help out, and love on her three nieces who she adores as if they are her own. The room does look amazing! (Of course, everyone is exhausted from the last four days, but that's beside the point.) Enjoy your family time together!

Love,
Mom

It turned out just gorgeous! I love the peaceful and calm feeling the room has. Nice mix of white and black too! Is the bed from Ikea? I think that's the one I was drooling over for my daughter.

What color is this it's warm & bright enough but doesn't look like a "yellow", more of a butter cream... I LOVE it!
