Marker Girl Makeover – Brighten Up

The client wanted to brighten up her Guest Room. So we did just that – out with the old leftover furniture that most guest bedrooms inherit, and in with updated and fun pieces.

To achieve this look we started with color on the wall Sherwin Williams Rustic Adobe. Lighter furniture and an upholstered headboard softens the room. With pops of color and pattern in the artwork over the bed adding some fun elements, mixed with complementary apple green ceramic lamps. Drapery panels hung higher than the window (to hide the builder’s decision to put in in standard height windows in a higher ceiling room). The room wasn’t really big, but we were able to add a small reading chair in the corner. Gives it that warm and friendly touch.

Marker Girl was inspired by an unforgettable moment with my daughter, a marker, and our furniture. That experience sparked my mission to find stylish, family-friendly furnishings and help others create spaces where life thrives without compromise.

My blog shares the very best of what I have learned about family-friendly design these past 20 years.
