Guest Room Makeover Part 1 - All the Emotions

Now that we are home from our vacation

and with the exciting news that tickets are booked

and our daughter and son-in-law

will be coming to visit us in July

I can no longer procrastinate on making over the guest room.

It is the first time the whole family will be together since 2019.

The guest room was formerly my daughter's room

and I hadn't done much with it since she moved.

Honestly, I've just been procrastinating.

The first part of it was the biggest job -

cleaning it out and going through everything that my daughter left.

My daughter loves quilts and duvets.

I had quite a few to sort through

and many pictures were sent back and forth.

Some we decided to give away,

some got sent down to her

and we kept a few.

Once we got everything moved into the other room

the fun part began.

I decided to go with a Navajo White for the walls.

It went best with the two quilts I decided to keep for the guest room.

The paint covered the green walls amazingly well.

What I wasn't quite prepared for was the emotions that I felt

as I started to make over this room.

This was my daughter's room since she was quite young

and it has had a few makeovers

but this would be the final one.

It is no longer my daughter's room

but a guest room.

A few tears were shed as I painted

but it felt good to work through the emotions.

This was also going to be the last makeover

as we hope to move in the next few years,

so that was a little sad as well.

I love my little house.

However, once I worked through the emotions

the excitement of making over the room took over.

I was thrilled with the final result on the walls and trim.

Time to move onto part two of the makeover -

the finishing touches!

Have you ever had an emotional room makeover?
