guest bedroom | part 1

We, and by we, I mean mostly me,  have been working on sprucing up the second guest bedroom. BSG has many talents but the finesse of painting over new carpet is not one of them!  Until recently this room was used as a store-all for luggage, baskets and un-used decorations. I have hesitated painting or re-doing this room because of these shelves...strategically placed about 2 feet from the ceiling ALL the way around the room. 

BSG's part in this = shelf removal. 

When the first one came down we were instantly aware of the gigantic drywall mess that lie ahead. The genius who installed them meant business...lots of nails with a side of glue.

This is certainly not the last you'll hear about drywall...we have wall paper to remove! :)

One call to my friend Julie (our Realtor) and I had the name of her general contractor for such things. The holes are all patched up and after 2 coats of Benjamin Moore HC-80 Bleeker Beige the shelves are a distant memory! 

A few weeks ago we picked up this quilt at HomeGoods at a low price so ridiculous that I couldn't pass it up!  I am building the room around these bright, fun, beachy colors.  Now that the painting is complete, maybe we can move the mattress and box spring out of the front room! :)  More details upon project completion!
