Remember when we picked out paint colors? We liked most of them, but there were a few that just had to go! We decided we loved the Fresh Cut in the guest room, but decided to skip it in the dining room. The first guest room was painted last week, and I think it looks pretty darn good! (Keep in mind that the pictures don’t necessarily make it look exactly the same as in real life.)
With the white trim and fireplace, the pale green really just pops! Here are a few rooms that are my inspiration for a serene, luxurious guest room:
I’d love to do this chenille coverlet on a bed in there. So simple, and easy to change out pillows with the seasons. Plus, anything will go with ivory! (I’ve already put it on my birthday/Christmas wish list!)

The next guest room is a different story. We tried out (what we thought was) a very pale coral color, but it ended up being way to salmon-y! It was pretty, but it was a little much for a bedroom. Plus Charles hated it! So this weekend, Charles primed a few spots in the room and painted over it with Del Mar Shores, which is a pale yellow. Here’s a look!
I’ve never been a big yellow fan, but this is a really pretty color. It’s bright and cheery, and will look great with the green in the adjoining guest room (they share a pass-through closet). Here are a few of my favorite ideas for this room:

Welcome, Jill! :)
Ooohh, that green is really lovely. I think that guestrooms are a nice way to play around with color and styles that you end up not using for the master bedroom. I actually do like that salmon color, though it can be tough to tell in photos! The yellow you’ve chosen will definitely look nice with the green, though. I’m so excited for you!
Wow! I love the new color! Looks lovely!
