Hello House of Turquoise fans! I’m Roeshel from
It’s nice to “e-meet” you!
and it’s such an honor to be guest blogging for Erin today and so exciting! This is me:
But most days, I look like this:
It’s nice to “e-meet” you!
For those of you who don’t know me, my blog journals our DIY projects, home improvement and decorating as time and money allow. We also feature other bloggers and their DIY. I recently gave our guest bedroom makeover using paint, things we already had and thrift store, flea market finds. Inspiration:
The room before was a blank slate. We removed previous owners’ carpet when we moved in, I removed the trim, walls were a dingy white….
before
after
My starting point for the room were the orange/gold wingback chairs. I thought about redoing them because I wanted a turquoise and white room but as I collected ideas for the room, using things we already had and did up a mood board, I decided I really loved the turquoise, orange, gold together.
I painted and stenciled the floor (budget friendly)…main floor color True Value ‘Ticker Tape’.
Nearly everything else in the room is a thrifty find (with the exception of these lamp shades and bedding shown below).
Turquoise lamps were $4.99 at thrift store.
Even the chandelier got a makeover going from black to a turquoise patina…
I made a brooch wreath…
A free scratched up buffet got a makeover and became a dresser…
I even made a coordinating cat window seat using an old tray and made catnip stuffed toys with turquoise fabric scraps…
Thanks for letting me share our guest bedroom makeover, a much more welcoming place for our guests to relax. I might even move in myself! Unless you’re coming to lend a DIY hand for a visit? See more of our DIY Project Tutorials here and our farmhouse before/after projects here. Erin, thank you so much for having us share our guest bedroom transformation.

Very lovely and inspirational! thank you for posting!
Oh my goodness, so darling! Love the brooch wreath, how clever.
Your picture made me laugh…the other day when I got dressed my 2 year old said "oh, are you going to paint today?" Ha, no I wasn't.
I love the area rug and lamps!
My favorite part of that room Is still the wingback chairs. And the price was unbelievable.
I think I just fell in love.
Roeshel, your guests will never leave!
love roeshel and will be crashing in that awesome room one of these days!
Roeshel; Beautiful room…Heather

Love the re-do! How do you make a brooch wreath? Where did you find all of them?
Wow-amazing job! Beautiful.
Absolutely stunning! I can't believe that floor is stenciled. I'm off to visit your blog now.
Loved everything! Love that kitty even got its own spot in the guest bedroom….. assume that it is the first guest already!
Wow, It looks amazing. You did a fantastic job! Cant believe you found those lamps for 4.99!
Awe, Thanks so much everyone! 🙂
It's so nice to "e-meet" you! Erin, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for letting me introduce myself to HoT fans.
Have a great week!

I just love the colour combination you used. To Combine the soft pale blue with a bright pop of orange is genius. I will have to steal this combo…imitation is after all, the most sincere form of flattery ;)… Great blog, I'm a fan!

I really love the design very wonderful..
Oh, my goodness! I have been searching for years for a ceiling medallion like you have on the chandelier. Please tell me where you got it! My mother has one that I fell in love with as a little girl but I haven't been able to find one like it.
