A New Paint Color Inspires A Whole New Room
I’ve lived in my house for seven years and never was satisfied with my bedroom layout and decor. I tried SO many different bedding scenarios to no avail.
When I moved into my house, I painted every room Harwood Putty from Benjamin Moore’s Historical Collection and I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s a crisp white that makes all of my collections burst into the foreground.
It wasn’t until a few months ago during a weekend getaway, enjoying a beautiful guest bedroom that it clicked: YOU NEED TO REPAINT OUR BEDROOM! The guest room I was staying in was painted in Sherwin Williams’ Nearly Peach, diluted by 50% with white. It was SO soft, so warm and so fresh. I followed suit and had my ceiling, walls and trim painted in that color, with different finishes.
My bedroom literally came together overnight. I had recently purchased the chartreuse velvet chaise on Facebook Marketplace for resale, but it looks so good in this space that I’ve decided to keep it. I moved my bed against the only wall I hadn’t ever tried it on, hung an over-sized Lee Reynolds orchid painting that I had laying around over my Jonathan Charles dresser, and moved the round gold mirror over to the wall with the chaise. The mirror reflects light from the window and my bed so beautifully.
I’ve always been a white linen curtain girl, but I went for the botanical print this time. I finished the space off with a large area rug which totally pulled the room together.
I am IN LOVE with my bedroom now. Each piece is cohesive with the other and this room feels like a hug and has that “complete” look that I’ve always sought after. All inspired by brand new paint.
Imagine that!
