Finally, I have made more strides in the guest bedroom makeover project.
They’re baby steps, mind you, but at least they’re steps of some sort. It took me forever to complete the refinishing and painting of the twin bed frames, simply because the weather was tricky and I can’t spray paint inside the house. Yesterday afternoon, when the gray clouds rolled away and the humidity decreased slightly, I ran outside to apply the final coats of polyurethane. They dried just in time for us to bring them inside late last night, and I couldn’t help but snag a quick phone photo of them sitting in the guest room.
A few notes:
The side rails of the frame may look unfinished to you. That’s because I have grand plans for disguising them. Also, the issue I’m pondering now is the blandness of the white frame-on-white wall situation. I’m wondering if I should paint the other walls a dark teal to tie in with the Tempaper accent wall, or if I should paint them a different, lighter color. Maybe a bright gold? Or a pale gray? Decisions, decisions. Maybe I’ll finish putting the room together, and then decide on a wall color at the end.

[…] to paint the other three walls white (to match the white flowers in the Tempaper) – then my white bed frames would totally blend in. And after all the time I spent to lovingly refinish them, I really want […]
