The Guest Room

The night we moved into the house we decided to start our home improvements while we waited for the movers to arrive with our things. We were surprised to find 2 layers of wall paper on the wall we were tackling. The first layer came off without a hitch. The second layer was more stubborn.


Jason and I had to scrub and scrape to get the second layer off the wall.


We painted the room a light gray called "fired steel"

This is some of the new furniture and accessories that we have decorated the room with. We aren't completely finished in there. We still need to hang the curtains and make the bed with our new comforter set. I am also making the art we are hanging on the wall and that will be done in a few days.
The guest room is open for business to anyone who wants to come stay the night!

  1. I love it. That is nice furniture too where did you get it? I am really interested in the artwork you are making. What is it? How exciting!

  2. Looks great you two (or should I say three - I'm sure Miss Paisley tried to help a lot). It really does look great. We are looking forward to a detailed play by play of each room, nook and cranny.

  3. 2 layers of Wallpaper, who does that? that is what Marybeth said and I would like to echo those same words, I hope you got some good stuff, when we did Jon and Maryannes room we just used water, but we heard that there is some stuff at Home Depot that works really well. It looks really great so far, give us one room at a time.

    P.S. Make sure you get the guest room down but August so we can use it. Everything looks great

  4. Robblog- we used a little mixture of fabric softener and water to get the wallpaper off easier. We are very excited for your trek through Kansas on your way to Utah!!
