So after painting the rumpus room, I jumped right into painting the guest room the following week. At this point there was barely a month until the Halloween Housewarming Party and no time to waste. Luckily for me most of the room is painted a nice sort of periwinkle blue, so the only thing I wanted to paint over was the lime green nook in the back.
What better to do with a little sleeping nook than paint it pitch black ... but not just any black... chalkboard black! Yes. I'm so excited about it. Here's the room now, painted and partly put together:
I love the things in this room. The orange seashell chair I picked up a couple of years ago at a super fun vintage store in Cleveland called Flower Child. The rug, like most of the rugs in my house, is an indoor/outdoor rug that can easily be hosed off if a cat does something disgusting to it. The vase I got in Romania at a road-side craft stand. The peacock comforter is Anthropologie. The blue-framed mirror I got at Ikea a million years ago. The nook is the exact same size as a full-size bed, which means making the bed is terrible, but it's the perfect little cubbyhole for sleeping.
Remember this photo I posted a while ago from the Anthropologie catalog? Taking inspiration from it, ultimately my plan is to draw maybe a headboard, maybe a bedside table on the chalkboard walls... I have a ton of ideas.
