The last time we posted about this room we had taken the first step and bought a new duvet cover for in here. Although I liked the leaf print and colours of it I kept looking at it and thinking...its just not quite 'right' yet!
So after a few weeks of staring at the bed everytime I walked past it (yes these kind of things really play on my mind!) I realised what was really bugging me was that there needed to be a darker colour on the bedding to 'anchor' the room, but I didn't want it a solid colour - (yes I am addicted to patterns!).
Originally I wanted a dark blue paint for the walls in here but came to the conclusion that that would not look right and it would also mean we would have to buy new curtains... which we don't really want to do.
The purple colour is NOT staying... it has been our mission since the start of this blog to eradicate the house of this purple wall colour which the previous owners seemed to love so much! You can see our test paint spot of a creamy white which we are considering in the top right of these photos.
So this is how the guest bed looks now...
And has anyone picked it yet?... yep the dark blue duvet cover I chose is the same one we have used in our master bedroom! I really love this pattern and I love that it is reversible (white with blue polka dots) which means you can style it different ways depending on your mood.
I love this canvas print of the beach too - and have taken inspiration from this and the colours from the bedding that this guest room shall have a relaxed 'beachy' feel which will be continued through to the ensuite. I'm thinking white walls and tiles, with blue toned towels and timber features...
But the ensuite and the painting of the walls in this room may not be tackled until Christmas...!
