#18: Indecision Abounds
Big thanks to everybody who’s been weighing in on my guest room dilemma! Especially Jenn, who dedicated an entire blog post to answering my question on Let Your Creativity Flow, the interior design blog that inspired me to start my own!
I’m feeling a little bit like America on Super Tuesday night… undecided! I’ve had a few responses that encouraged me to go “neutral with a splash,” and some others who voted yellow (including the Love Muffin, to my surprise!). Normally the Love Muffin and I make all of our renovation decisions together, but in the guest room, he’s giving me carte blanche.
So I think I’m going to sleep on all the advice I received today, and look forward to a busy weekend! We’re planning to do painting prep (taping etc), paint, and visit Ikea this weekend. Also, we have some hideous folding closet doors in the guest room that we’ll need to replace.
Stay tuned for guest room “before” pics!
i can’t wait to see what you go with and the images of the guest room!!!
i love coming to your blog, i feel like i’m renovating with you and it’s so exciting to see how your place turns out piece by piece! hehe i feel like a kid in a candy store!
I can’t get over how entertaining this is. Really fun. In the guest room you could also do one wall in an accent color and the other 3 white. But a color like yellow could also easily fit into a minimalist scheme…you could always do a series of big black & white or sepia prints on the wall to tie into white & chocolate bedding, etc. Your free parking sign story is fun.
Hope you have a good day today. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade (no matter how small it may be!)
Aww..thanks for the mention!
I look forward to seeing what you decide!!
Go with yellow
Erika,
There is a whole thing on the psychology of color and how color affects moods. For relaxation, I believe that green or blue, for stimulation, brighter colors. Yellow is a is a mood elevator, but a soft pale yellow, not too bright to overstimulate, might be good, especially for mom.
Here is a site that gives a background on mood and color.

Whatever you decide will look great, because you have great taste as evidenced by the picture you sent me of Rhett and Scarlett and by the choice of your significant other.
Love to you
Cynthia
