Finally, a restful place.

Remember the "Can o' Worms"? I am happy to say that my instinct to pick,  scrape and get down to the nitty gritty with this room paid off.  It became a bright, beautiful, and serene place to curl up and relax.  
For the walls and ceiling I decided on an easy creamy white, Snowbound from Sherwin Williams. When I rolled out the walls with this paint it kept reminding me of whipped cream!  And after it dried it remained a warmer white, not too stark but a clean crisp cozy white.
I plan to use it in the next guestroom too.
I have been making regular trips to Ikea to outfit this house, and this room is no exception.  I was super excited when I discovered these tray tables -

Tray table, gray
They have the look, color, and size that I need for this space...and Ikea never dissapoints on price.  And did I mention these were sooooo easy to put together.
Also, we have been amazed at the Haugsvar mattresses from Ikea - they come rolled up like big burrito and make it fairly easy to transport and install.  When released from the wrapping they pouf into a nice thick mattress. I confess that I did get the wrong size foundation-Espevar (Full instead of Queen) and had to exchange it -- that was a set-back! To my defense the label was so small on the packaging that you needed a magnifying glass to see the size. (or is it my older eyes????)
 But Ikea made that easy too!
I am thrilled with the results and a restful night was already spent here.
Now, I am looking forward to putting the finishing touches on this room,
some art and accessories...gotta go shopping!
Oh, also Natty (my dog and construction companion) approves of this room too!
