Did you know that prisons don’t use the color blue on their walls because it makes the inmates aggressive and violent? You probably didn’t know that, because I just made it up, although I’m pretty sure I heard it somewhere. Maybe they DO use the color blue because it DOESN’T make the inmates aggressive and violent. Something like that.
But I would still feel a little stabby in this room. Maybe it’s that particular shade of blue with the knotty wood (shudder), but something about it makes me itch.
Luckily Naomi and Sage at Plaster & Disaster calmed the situation down and around into a guest oasis with plenty of white walls and a few accents of orange and green.
And a huge accent in the shape of a world map!
Fun for a guest room; your guests could stick a little thumbtack on the place that they’re from. Which is actually not fun because I don’t want my guests stabbing holes in my walls, and also I don’t host a lot of faraway guests. It would probably just be one lone thumbtack from my mom. So yeah, nevermind on that whole idea.

September 17, 2015 at 6:19 AMThanks so much for sharing this project, Lindsey!!! The room is now occupied by my sister-in-law (for the next few months), and I feel so much better about putting her in there with the way it’s looking now!

September 17, 2015 at 9:15 AMI love how the wood floor gives a wonderful (and much needed) contrast to the white walls/ceiling. The floor practically disappeared in the ‘before’. The room looks much bigger, more relaxing and beautiful!

September 17, 2015 at 6:47 PMWell THAT must explain my violent and aggressive self – blue is my favorite color. I’m like PAINT ALL THE THINGS BLUE. Okay well, I’ll be honest. I love the after much better. 🙂 It’s downright GORGEOUS. And makes me want to hug someone, not feel “stabby”. Stabby, Lindsey?? 🙂
