WEEK 2 OF ORC LINKING PARTY: GUEST BEDROOM MAKEOVER

Welcome to week 2 of the One Room Challenge Linking Party.  If you missed week one, check it out here.

The past week was all about paint.  I didn't really explain much about my plan last week but I wanted to paint the room a nice shade of barely there pink. (more like light coral than pink)





I bought 2 paint samples, Soft White(top) and Sunlit Coral(bottom) both by Benjamin Moore...


The Soft white was a tad too light for me and the Sunlit Coral, although pretty, was darker than what I was looking for.

In the end, I went with Blanched Coral also by Benjamin Moore (Thanks Kimberly for the suggestion!)

(It looks beige-y here but it is actually a very light coral, maybe a few shades darker than Soft White above)





Here are 2 rooms painted in Blanched Coral...

Pretty, pretty!


I've also been busy shopping for some accessories.
Can't wait to show you what I got for the room (including an awesome vintage light fixture)!

Also, I'll be sharing a couple of DIY's too.
(Slipcovered Headboard and bed skirt, window treatments and upholstered cushion)


Here's a little teaser...


Don't forget to check out the other 72 (yes, 72 of us!) linking participants and of course the original 20!

Happy Thursday!

    The fabric you have chosen is stunning; such vibrant colors which will pop in the room with the wall color picked.

    I have been searching for the perfect color for my master bedroom. It is a light pink now but lacks the pop I wanted. This just may do the trick! Thanks for sharing!
