"One shoe can change a life"...Cinderella

Yesterday, Murals & Design installed the final element in this inviting guest bedroom, the draperies. The client in Forney, Texas already had some beautiful "bones" for this room, but it just lacked pizazz with its beige walls and country style bedding.

The beautiful rice carved poster bed and two paintings that the client already had were the inspiration for the blue / green colors. The focal wall was a darker shade then two shades lighter was applied to the other three walls. The darker wall was given a stencil effect that matched the pattern in the bedding.

And when Trudy looks up, you know you're in trouble! My thought was that if the stencil looked good on the wall, it would look awesome on the ceiling! My friend Beth bravely took on the task of doing all the painting and stenciling. She did a wonderful job and doesn't hate me too much for making her do the ceiling! It truly was the "icing on the cake" for this room.

We were able to use the existing accessories that were in this room, except for the bedside lamps. Because of the height of the posts on the bed, I suggested that buffet style lamps would better enhance the look. The shades were custom made for us by a local lamp manufacturer to contrast the bedding. What you do not see in the photograph is a Thomas Kinkade, " Paris street scene." Also there is a teal colored plaque gilded in gold that says "One shoe can change a life."...Cinderella

If you have a room in your home that you "call" a guest room, take the time to make it a cozy retreat so your guests will feel special. Don't forget to add a little something unexpected to make them smile.


That's all for now but as always...

Have a colorful day!
