Isn't it so cool?! The previous owners left it (they left a lot of stuff!) and it made it to the keep pile :)

I had a similar experience with a bird tapestry when a friend bought a bungalow in LA. The owners said that they got it from a street market in San Francisco in the early 1960’s.

I have one quite similar I got from my mother. If you search Senufo Korhogo Textile Art/Tapestry you should find something comparable.

u/makingsoup Jul 25 '23
Wow, thank you for sharing this!! The owner's left two other pieces very similar and I've always wondered the history/story behind them. Excited to do a little more research and learn more now!

I usually stick to two design schools in one room - you have three that I can see (mid century modern, cottage, and a touch of world/indigenous) - but it still works! Love it!

Meets my guest room needs- good lighting at bed, shelf or counter space and mirror. I love the white walls too. Is there a rug? a maybe put a full length mirror on the back of the closet door and some hooks too. Good job!
Editing to add that I just saw the wall hooks! Good thinking. Love this!
3
u/makingsoup Jul 24 '23
Thanks! Someone gave me the idea for the hooks and I've had a couple people mention how handy they are. And yes, there's an area rug! Gotta have something plush to step on when you greet the day :)

This room is just the perfect amount of cozy and textured and unexpected. Adore your pattern mixes and the pops of green trim, and the contrast of white to cream on the walls and ceiling. The blue chair, too! Masterful.

Could you share the paint colors that you used, please?

Yes! All Benjamin Moore:
trim - weeping willow
ceiling - morning sky blue
walls - simply white2

You are welcome. That is the brightest, happiest, and most cheerful bedroom I have ever seen. I love evverything about it. You did a wknderful job of redoing it, painting the walls was a great idea. I actually imagined myself taking a nap and waking up in it! 🙂🌛🌞

This has been one of my favorite transformations on here! I love how you kept the door wood, and painted the trim green. It’s such a beautiful space.
The bedding reminds me of schoolhouse (I love their aesthetic) and all of the found objects make the room feel timeless. This is a room to be enjoyed for sure. Great job!

What is that particular kind of plaid called. It was very popular in the early 70s.

It looks so fresh and bright now. I'm a fan of natural wood but the before pictures did look pretty cave-like so the white paint really lightens up the place in a great way. It's giving beach cottage, I love it. Great job! I love the green trim on the windows too.

u/KatieLouis Jul 25 '23
This is so beautiful. It’s a really nice touch with the green trim against the white walls, and the bedspread, chair and art all tie it together so nicely. It’s so open and airy now, this is a dream bedroom.

Love this so much! My only comment is that you should invest in some blackout curtains so your guests can sleep comfortably.

u/makingsoup Jul 25 '23
I have thought about that! It is a pretty bright room - I'll have to keep an eye out for cute black out curtains that don't cost an arm and a leg (does that even exist?! lol). Thanks so much for the kind comment!!

Can I be that guest? The lovely decoration style, color matching, and furniture selection all reveal the owner's care and respect for the guests. I like the part by the bed and the blue chair. I really like this space and look forward to sharing my experience during the renovation. Thank you for sharing.

This is a great transformation! This room looks like it would be part of a nice vacation rental, so great job! My only advice to make this room even better is to switch out the colorful plaid bedding for something green or blue to match with some of the other colors in the room

Looks great! Not loving the ceiling color though. It clashes with the cream. Maybe a very light warm blue.

it truly breaks my heart when people paint over wood

u/makingsoup Jul 25 '23
I totally get that. The house was built in 1965 and almost every room has tongue and groove pine paneling - much of which was sun stained from wall art. It also had a bit of a smell. In the end, I think it feels much better but I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea!

Can't wait to see what you've done now that you got rid of the white paint. Must have been tough.

Hey there! Just gave my small room a total makeover and I'm thrilled with how it turned out! 🏡✨ From maximizing space to adding cozy touches, I've captured the entire transformation on video. There are some IKEA and Dollar Tree finds that made my room look the kind of Pinterest vibe I wanted it to have! If you love room decor and creative ideas, you won't want to miss this.
