The Guestroom: Stage 1

As you may have noticed in my resolutions post at the beginning of the week, the guestroom received a kick start from Mr. Designing Domesticity this past week.

A couple of things happened...

You probably noticed the lovely window in this photo. It's an old school, single pained, natural wood window; meaning it allows lots of cold air in during the winter and hot air in during the summer - not really the combination you'd generally be looking for. So...

it's out with the old...

and in with the new!

Although all the other windows throughout our home are wooden, we opted for your standard vinyl window in this case. It's a third floor attic conversion so we wanted a highly efficient and low maintenance window, which equals vinyl!

The second thing accomplished in the guest suite (notice the name upgrade!) is the addition of the blue wall color to the hallway.

Goodbye boring and beige...

Hello Mr. Designing Domesticity...

So far only the wall color is complete. The woodwork has been primed, next step is paint; perhaps this coming weekend, we'll see. I'll wait to do a photo when the hallway is nearing completion. You'll just have to wait...as will I.

But the good news is that we are almost done with 2 of the 6 steps I have planned for the room. Progress!

Now, you've seen 2 of the 4 projects listed on my broken resolution post - 2 more to go; 1 of which will definitely be done for the BGR reveal next week and the other, I hope to share later next week as well. Stay tuned...
