Texas Room (The Groom's Room)

The first two pictures are "before" shots.

In Transition....
I just love this color of blue. It is called Peace Blue by Valspar. What a perfect name for the color in the grooms dressing area. :)

We also added in a sofa so that the groomsmen/guests have a place to sit.
It's 95% there... Now it's time for a trip to Trade Days!

Last Week's Painting Progress

So last week was spent painting the hall, the bathroom off the hall and the groom's room. Both the hall and bathroom needed painting due to the amount of wear and tear they had gotten over the last year. I decided to chose a creamier color for the walls and picked the Ralph Lauren color, Parchment. I just love this color because of its light and airy feel. For the wainscoting & trim, I decided to go with another Ralph Lauren color, Desert Boot. I know originally this wood was probably a rough cedar in a natural stain but since it had already been painted previously I had no choice but to paint it again. I did however decide on a darker brown to tie in with the beams in the great room. A nice plus is the vintage 1970 floor tile blends much better with the new color palette. To me it feels like an English countryside lodge.
Bathroom Pictures (the first one is the before)



Yesterday, I installed a dark wood bamboo shade on the window and hung a mirror over the sink. Once it is fully finished, I will post more pictures.


The Hallway (the before picture is at the bottom)





I will post the Groom's Room transformation in another post! I am so excited about this room which will now be called the Texas Room.
