guest bedroom makeover-One Room challenge-week two

by Julie Nichols, April 13, 2017
We are in week two of the ORC  (catch up on week 1 here) and things are moving along.  Today is prep day, the dreaded part of any makeover.  If I had a magic wand I would totally skip this part and go right to the fun part of decorating!  I have to remind myself that to get to the pretty you have to fix the ugly, so I better get started with this makeover, because week 6 will be here before I know it.

BEFORE

Let's take a look at the process to this madness: 

I partnered with my husband on this makeover!  We decided to keep the paneling and paint over it because I think it will give the bedroom a farmhouse feel. 

We started by pulling all of the nails and cup hooks out of the wall and ceiling. Then I scrubbed the paneling with soap and water. Next, we spackled all of the holes.  Whew! 


 Preparing a room for a makeover feels like it takes forever.  Everything is out of place and the room looks worse than when we started.

 The quote is so inspirational!  I want to share it with you for this challenge.



And this is the direction I am heading

    I agree that things always look worse before they can get better. Our project is a disaster right now, haha. I really like the idea of painting over the paneling for more interest on the walls. Your selections are really pretty! And that quote is perfect!

    I hate doing prep work! You're so right that it always looks worse before it looks better. I'm so excited to see the walls painted. It's going to make such a huge difference in the room!

    Thank you for sharing this idea. You give us an amazing idea how to makeover a guest bedroom. Never thought of this kind of idea can be applied in guest bedroom. I have also started makeover my guest bedroom and it's looking good quietly. Hopefully it will end as fabulous room just like you did.
