We have finally come out on the other side of painting in the Guestroom and feel like progress has been made! I love seeing how much of a difference that just paint can make for a space: swipe to see the Before and the Before-Before

I want to say a huge thank you to the sponsor for restocking my favorite paint supplies that you will never catch me painting without! If I had only one tip to give you for home renovation projects, it would be to have the best painting supplies, and that’s hands down! 👏🏻

A WEEK TWO progress update:
- I went ahead and switched the bed for holiday weekend guests and that alone made such a difference!
- I played around with different ideas for stenciling the upper wall and whether to repaint the wainscoting or not. to the rescue for my adhd and indecisive brain.
- The room has been cleared a bit and tarped for the upcoming weeks of painting painting painting.
- We are painting the ceiling to clean up aged spots on the 70s ceiling tiles. One day I plan to demo the unoriginal ceiling tiles, faux wall paneling, and wainscoting so we can get the base of the room back to how it looked originally in 1912, but for now paint will be a nice refresh until then!
- I went ahead and started painting trimwork and got back to pondering the color of the wainscoting. Swipe to see what the final decision was…
- The new light fixture delivered and I am so excited about it, I will share more on it next week when we install it, just a peek for now!
