If we are friends on Instagram, you know that I’ve been working on a few mini projects and wanted to complete them before the hubby returned home. I had only 2 weeks to complete them. Above is the guest bedroom. I painted the bed head wall Benjamin Moore Soot. I also repainted the BM Revere Pewter that was on the other walls to BM White Dove.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhweyTxeq7FR84XZ9hx1MpTVS5CRByLmeX8CJ73tamWbK7StGABjhQiM-PGVDkvndtixubStWIFF33apc9YN36VG2e8b6JyQtGvTmGhub21E2MHOu4jAZ4ob_Y0G3b5AOWNWrWPiesBR6cm/s1600-h/Photo%252520Apr%25252005%25252C%25252011%25252023%25252016%252520AM%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="design diy" border="0" height="671" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44kjgRZiJB2m2RaWVdwK62wGmc7A5M2cGAolaw75CxscZtwOAtCZsdwyFCB3vanDAxzjrfo61M9NEUKTu9-lg1AuRE6h73kXvGGxbJ7uAy506hEC2hKPEvGb24RN6gvld0xk8FM6vLE66/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="guest bedroom makeover" width="504" /></a><br />Unfortunately, I was using this room as my “catch all” space. I am not a fan of folding laundry and usually would fold only the boys’ clothes and leave everything else! Yikes!  Anyway, I buckled down and tackled the space.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLcqToyfjqjJZkY2KkcI2Dyzws9KpXzb6A9kaSqwljAmXs_6Nfq6jRl1SICvvLINHzqpSXIwrCD-lNEIfhUYOBd1kpSkHsd2uHZfI7xKMHC18BP3K1ZK1rj7fShijKZWrQsoPIY1bUp5C/s1600-h/002_blake_guest%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="design makeover diy" border="0" height="904" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnJ5ZqGiAKC6QjPAiB4j0UDd7_R8zK662f3L9HPt1iKhFTvqcNXqUHsnxICLNyu928bHVZmXi4xx-AhqulHhdjZNOPljsu_VczSsW4KecTBQah5329BnvW-Q7k2_KNBrvU8mPXOBt1SOXv/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="guest bedroom makeover" width="604" /></a><br /><div align="center">After painting the space, I had the fan replaced with this Sputnik look a like light fixture that I purchased from Lowes.
