When we bought our house, we were so excited to have a spare bedroom so that people could actually stay overnight without being succumbed to our crappy Walmart futon in the apartment living room.<\/p>\n

We have a lot of extra space compared to our old apartment, which allows us a spare bedroom.<\/p>\n

My step-grandmother passed away and my aunt and step-dad had to get rid of a lot of her furniture in order to get her home in selling order, so they gave us a newer, queen sized bed for the spare room, which worked out great because that’s where my mom and step-dad will be staying when they come into town.<\/p>\n

But no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t like the green\/beige color on the walls and I had a hard time imagining what colors would compliment it. The answer? None (in my mind). So I decided to paint and decorate that room.<\/p>\n

It started off looking like this.<\/p>\n

\"room1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0(Well, obviously it didn’t come with the mess – this photo was taken when I was originally getting ready to paint). The color was boring, but there is a lot of natural light and the room is a decent size. The house is older so the closets are much larger than the ones you’d find in a newer house, and it’s on a quiet side of the house.<\/p>\n

I picked out a neutral paint color that would go well with white. White is important to me for sheets and decor. It makes things look bright, clean and classic.<\/p>\n

I thought grey would do well in this room, so I chose Enchanted Flute.<\/p>\n

\"gre\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The color on the left wall is what we chose for most of the room, except the wall with the window. We wanted to do a bright, fun feature wall.<\/p>\n

For that, I chose blue. It’s very, very blue.<\/p>\n

\"blue\"<\/a>Excuse the picture quality.<\/p>\n

This is what we did for the one wall – and when I say what We did, I mean what I did, because I was alone on this project.<\/p>\n

Originally I had wanted to put wallpaper on the feature wall to really make it pop, but I don’t know the first thing in wall-papering a wall and I didn’t want it to turn out badly, so I decided to just paint it. It was this color versus Spa Blue by Benjamin Moore.<\/p>\n

I still have a ton of the paint, because I only painted the one wall, so one day I’ll paint the inside of the closet this colour too. Whenever I am lacking a project, which may be never.<\/p>\n

So this is how it turned out:<\/p>\n

\"spare<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted it to be fresh and clean looking, so I spruced it up with some white accents. I’m obsessed with mustard as a colour right now, so I tried to incorporate splashes of it in the room. I thought the rug would give it texture and I really liked the pattern.<\/p>\n

\"spare<\/a><\/p>\n

The duvet and duvet cover are Ikea, which I bought with a gift card that we got during the Kitchen Event when we were buying the cabinets for the basement suite. I bought the textured throw blanket with that too. We also have a couple of floating shelves and a framed picture that are going to go up in this room, but we don’t have the drywall screws needed to put up the shelves.<\/p>\n

The chair was actually one from our old, bar height kitchen table. I spray painted it white to go with the room and had some \u00a0mustard colour fabric that I covered the previously beige cushion with.<\/p>\n

There are plastic Easter eggs in that pot, because I took the picture on Easter. I got the sheets (which you can’t really see but they have a faint, flowered\/leaf pattern on them in iridescent white) and the picture at Home Sense. We already had the lamp from our apartment and had nowhere to put it, so I thought it worked in this room.<\/p>\n

I had a lot of fun decorating this room; it’s simple but fun and I’m really proud of my creation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
