RE-DECORATING

I have never liked the color of this guest bedroom...so I painted it the palest--most peachy--pink color...called Opera Pink. It is the color of your grandmother's face powder...so very soft! .....I really want to paint that rocking chair...what color do you think, creamy/white? Remember the little green dresser is in there too...(notice those awful gold walls!)I love it's little details. It has little plastic rollers on the legs so you can roll it....so cute!
The color of course had to match the fru-fru (is this how you spell fru-fru?) bed skirt/prom dress skirt, and my new pillow shams with Jennifer Paganelli's fabric! (sure wish I could go to Jennifer's party today and tomorrow!)Remember the lamp I made a cute shade for? I painted the base creamy-white....in fact I painted almost everything....
Not these cute flowers on the wall...they were already white!!
But this little picture frame!
That's my mom in the middle...I love that picture!
And this frame too! Now this room is a VERY cheerful place...so soft and comfy!!

Mind you, I am sewing a darling Amy Buttler bag for my daughter...in-between coats of paint....I will show you soon how darling the bag is! Come stay in my cute guest room, we will have a sleep over, eat chocolate, stay up late and talk; and maybe do a little hand work/sewing!

and the green dresser...*swoon*

i think that the rocker would look perfect in a cream.

and when you're done, i'll be there, chocolate in hand.
tehehe.

I agree with Rachel...a creamy rocker would be perfect! You'll have to show pictures after you paint it!

Cute, cute room! I would paint the rocker a creamy white, like you suggested.

Natasha said...

I would love to come stay in the guest room! Where did you get that dresser anyway? I remember it being passed from room to room when we were kids :-) The green is adorable though!

Stephanie said...

Yes, cream with a lovely handstitched pillow! Now all you need is a granny squar afaghan. :o)

I'm with everyone else--a definite cream color. It is a very sweet room--one where I would love to stay! Keep us updated! Have a wonderful day!

Sorry, I remove the last post because I can't spell .....

Rocker should be cream, with a shabby chic seat cushion that picks up the pink and some green. Could even be quilted. Stencil/paint a motif on the top back of the chair that reflects the cushion fabric. Nothing huge or attention-grabbing, just something dainty and subtle. Mirror the same motif with a runner on the dresser and a couple of accent pillows on the bed.

Love the green touches. May be a rich cream rocker with pillows in pink and the green, florals and stripe for contrast.

I love your guest room make over! Everything looks pretty in pink. Your rocking chair would look fabulous in an off white shade.
