Those of you who have been friends for awhile, know my infatuation and need for color in my life and in my home. When my hub and I purchased our home 3 years back we fell in love with so many things about our home. One huge bonus with our home was that the previous owners had left all the walls in the house white, meaning it left a blank slate for us to have fun with :). Over the past few years we have painted nearly every wall of our home. I know you all know how dramatically some paint can change a room and I LOVE seeing the transformations.
Well, when I was contacted by Scotch Blue to participate in this paint party blog hop I knew exactly what DIY paint project I was going to tackle= our guest bedroom. Our guest bedroom was one of the last rooms in the house needing a make over and I couldn't wait to start this project. I knew I wanted something fresh and light for this room so I decided to add some of my favorite elements and textures= burlap (of course!!), board and batten (have never done this but love the look of it so decided to give it a try), and a little splash of color for the walls. Here is the before:

And here are a few after shots:


I also picked up a gallon of 'Oops paint' from Lowes and used that to add a splash of color to the top of the board and batten. Again, the Scotch Blue was a huge help in aiding in the color transformation of this room.
Once the board and batten was up, color was on the walls, it was time to create some window treatments. I simply purchased a drop cloth, added some burlap ruffles to the top, and in no time some texture was added to the room via the quick, simple, and very inexpensive window treatments.

This part of the room is still in progress but I thought it would be fun to create some visual appeal on the ceiling using a large stencil.
I'm still adding some decor elements to this room and I'll share those as they come along. But at least for now I have the canvas done so now I can have fun embellishing...
Like adding some fun pillows
