First, the guestroom project. I'll continue with a post about the master bedroom and nursery soon!
Before... the front bedroom in our house was, sadly, just a dumping ground for "stuff". In late August, I finally got the gumption to clean out all the stuff and think about what I wanted the room to look like in the end.

Then came long process of stripping the teddy bear wallpaper off the walls. Trouble is, I was in the first trimester of pregnancy and didn't want to use the harsh stripping chemicals so I did the entire thing with vinegar and warm water. It actually worked pretty well - in my experience, stripping wallpaper is a pretty frustrating and tedious job no matter what you use.
BEFORE
Since I had an antique brass bed and an oak piano and bookshelf to coordinate with, I decided on a rich butterscotch color for the walls.

We'd love to have visitors in our new guest room, so c'mon over!
The room is looking good. Alicia, I must be honest and tell you that motherhood seems to be suiting you well. Carina and I are wishing the best for you and the family.
