When a close friend asks you to help re-do their bubble-gum pink, non-descript guest room, you can’t say no. You almost feel like you need to stage a design intervention immediately. Everyone has a room like this one: a forgotten catch-all guest room/play room/ exercise room/ office. We decided that it was our duty to save the world (and Connie and Mark’s parents!) from this room so we spruced the place up a bit. I mean, anything would have been better than that color pink, and we were game for the challenge.. So.without further ado, here’s our first official SuperFab Room Redesign!
Yay! Doesn’t it look incredible? Obviously, the scene-stealer is the multi-colored houndstooth stenciled wall. This was a definite labor of love (we even called in some backup assistance), but it makes a huge impact in the room, don’t you think? We love the mix of the classic houndstooth pattern with the modern color scheme. It definitely set the tone for the rest of the room: mixing old with new. We’ll be posting a tutorial next week, but if you want to get a jump start on your own, you can visit Royal Design Studio to get this amazing stencil for yourself!
Just take it all in, people. 🙂 Another fav is the headboard we made out of old shutters (or are they doors? Not sure!) we found at our favorite salvage place, Architectural Antiques. We needed something that would stand out from the wall, command attention, and add some character and and this baby does that. Gorgeous!
This little vignette makes us super happy, because not only is it adorable, but it’s totally functional, as well. Since this is their guest room, we made sure to add some towels and an extra blanket to the cart to make their guests feel at home. An $8 industrial cart never looked so good! The metal cubby shelf was a great find from HomeGoods that completes this corner of the room.
We’re already planning a sleepover at Connie and Mark’s. 😉 We hope you enjoyed our makeover!

I LOVE this…so much! That stenciled wall is AMAZING! Definitely pinning…
Amazing! I can’t get over that stenciled wall. What patience you have. I would love to have a wall like that but don’t have the wherewithal to do it. Beautiful job!
Where did you get the sign? Love it.
Just watched the room reveal on FYI Philly! Can you share the paint colors you used on the houndstooth wall? They are just lovely!
What a makeover!!! Love it!
Thank you so much! We were thrilled with the end result. 🙂

I just came over from YHL, and I can’t stop obsessing over this! I love every single detail. Obviously the houndstooth wall, the headboard, industrial cart (what an awesome idea!) dresser, the entire room. If this was my room, I don’t think I’d be able to stop looking around!
Thank you so much for stopping over from YHL. We are flattered! 🙂 I know, we wanted to move right in, too!
Have a great night-
J & M
Also found you via YHL… and I think I’ll be much more than a 1-time visitor! Love the room re-do, and I love your blog! You guys share my Best Friend (and Savior), so I feel a special bond.
Yay, Randa, thank you! We’re thrilled you found us (and Him!)
Have a great night-

Coming via YHL. Where did you find that cart!?
Believe it or not, we scored that at a thrift store called Impact near us. $8.00! We were so psyched it turned out like we envisioned it. 🙂 Glad you like it! Thanks for coming over to visit!

I need deails…
love the pillows and the metal cubby grey wall thingy with number 8 etc– where did you find the cubby and pillows?
love it!
We found the pillows and wall cubby unit at Homegoods. You just can’t go wrong with that place. Hope your Homegoods has them. 🙂

LOVE the makeover. That houndstooth wall is to die for! I love the colors you chose!
Sarah
Thanks so much! We were pretty darn happy with the way the wall turned out, too. 🙂
J & M
Wow! I absolutely love this… it’s so interesting to see how a room can be transformed so dramatically! Loving the headboard against the pattern walls… and that dresser is such a lovely color!
Thank you, Chrissy! It really doesn’t even seem like the same room, does it? So different! Actually, that headboard was our second option, but we’re so happy we went for it.
Hope to see you around here again!
J & M
We just hopped over from YHL. We’re totally obsessed with the bold and bright patterned wall! Please show us how you did it! Beautiful makeover!
We did a whole tutorial on this wall, including our stencil must-haves. You can read it here: https://eastcoastcreativeblog.com/2012/05/modern-houndstooth-stencil.html
Thanks so much for your kind words!
J & M
I just love your blog and the colours you choose are so cute!
Definately a fan! Going to bookmark you guys right now.
Thank you, Gabriella! That makes our night. 🙂

Where did you get that metal shelf with 9 cubbies? Would be great in my son’s room. -terresa
oh, I see – Homegoods!

I also came over from YHL. Do you have the name of the paint color for the dresser and do you prime furniture or sand it before you paint it? Is it glossy or anything and did you poly it? Just curious about painting furniture and couldn’t find a specific tutorial on your site. Thanks so much!
Please share the paint color that you used on that dresser. I would also love to know more about the hardware that you used. I have a dresser a lot like this one with no drawer pulls. Your dresser turned out beautifully!
Wondering how you did the drum shade on the fan and if you have any tips for a three light fan to modernize it?! A tutorial would rock my socks!
