Guest Bedroom
Highlights in this room include:
Decorating this guest bedroom was initially quite tricky. I found myself agonizing about the choice of wallpaper for the back wall for quite some time.
Jessica's set of four mouse paintings – how fitting that the artist herself gets to sleep in the room where her artwork is displayed!
Perhaps it was because I had invested so much effort into the primary bedroom, with its abundance of florals, patterns, stripes, and a vibrant colour palette. This led me to (mistakenly) considering replicating a similar style in this room! I was wrong!
I asked Robert to create some small pieces specifically designed to fit within the rustic second hand frames I had on hand. This idea was inspired by a visit to an exhibition at the Amsterdam Museum, where I was captivated by the "gold leaf" walls and ornate frames. The "Golden Bark" paint colour and the use of these secondhand frames worked wonderfully!
Once I decided to make the Spindle bed the centerpiece, it became evident that this room should exude a more "serene" and traditional atmosphere compared to our primary bedroom. So, instead of selecting wallpaper, I opted for a warm, "gold-like" wall as a backdrop for displaying artwork in antique frames. Additionally, since this room primarily serves as a guest space, especially during the holiday season when Mike and Jess come to visit, I aimed to decorate it with traditional holiday colours and decor.
I must admit I have a deep appreciation for this year's limited edition of Area 506's Boxcar Silkscreen by Geordan Moore. Definitely worth framing! The icing on the cake for this room? The incredible view it offers of the waterfront development, The Fundy Quay! Follow Fundy Quay & Area 506
