Mary K! you are so creative. I love the white furniture against grey walls and turquoise drapes. Thanks for posting. This inspires me to redecorate my son's bedroom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686848 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 09:33:11 +0000 Anonymous 686848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!<br /> Your fab style translates to interior design too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686793 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 04:33:11 +0000 velvetychocolate 686793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these colours Mary - you did a spectacular job on this room! The dark grey looks amazing with the turquoise - so, so much better than brown/turquoise. </p> <p>Can I borrow you to come and fix up my guest room? I have family coming next month and just a boring, and very basic guest room. </p> <p>You are *really* good at this, but then I'm not surprised. Your outfits are fabulous too. I especially loved the tan skirt, coral/blue blouse, blue jacket and blue bag combo you posted most recently. </p> <p>So now I'm thinking that the colour turquoise (clothing wise) can carry right on through fall and winter - wanna know why? Because of how you've paired it with a very dark grey. I kind of thought of turquoise as only a spring/summer colour, but seeing this fabulous room makeover you've done - I realize turquoise can work at *any* time. </p> <p>Beautiful room, and thank you for sharing with us - just fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686743 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 03:27:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 686743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe I almost missed a DECORATING thread!!!</p> <p>Love what you have done with the room. The deep grey backdrop provides a lovely stage for all of the delicious shades of teal and aqua. You have added great texture and the mirrored side table is fab.</p> <p>I love decorating even more than fashion. Beautiful room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686736 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 03:18:42 +0000 Gaylene 686736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, now I know our chairs are twins. Both my sons (38 and 35) were also rocked in the chair starting from the first night they were home from the hospital! That's why it hung out so long in the basement; I couldn't bear to give it away. And I, too, am waiting for grandbabies... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686709 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 02:31:19 +0000 MsMary 686709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene, my mom rocked me in that rocking chair 50-plus years ago, and I rocked my Marine in it when he was little. Now it's waiting for grandbabies! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686706 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 02:27:50 +0000 Gaylene 686706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!!!<br /> Your rocking chair has a twin who has been hiding in my basement. And it's getting a coat of paint this weekend to match its sibling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686695 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 02:14:00 +0000 fern 686695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful - very thought out.<br /> Lucky guests! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-686094 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 14:56:32 +0000 ramya 686094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome...

Lovely colors! I don't have the guts to paint my walls a dark color. </p> <p> Can I rent it for a couple of nights and to attend the YLF get together? (Oh, a girl can only dream!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-360021 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 04:23:31 +0000 Reneeb 360021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the gray walls good neutral to add pops of color. The chandelier is stunning and I adore the chair with turquoise. The room looks very calming and sophisticated. You are so good with color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359996 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:08:24 +0000 Sveta 359996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, you totally inspire me to do the same with my spare room now! Love the dark walls and light blue accessories - it is as unexpected as your outfits!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359931 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:22:06 +0000 Debora 359931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!!!!

Enjoy your new space! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359732 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:22:56 +0000 kellygirl 359732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very striking, Mary! Must be the turquoise playing trick on my eyes. When I look closely, I can see the grey. It's just lovely! I love dark walls--as long as there's enough light to prevent it from looking like the bat cave! You may find that your guests are never going to want to leave. I don't plan on doing that good of a job ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359729 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:16:37 +0000 MsMary 359729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, it's actually dark gray walls. It was a Behr paint -- maybe Poppy Seed or Pencil Point. I'll check when I get home.</p> <p>The painter was really nervous the day he put it on the walls because he thought for sure I'd think it was too dark! But I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359728 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:15:06 +0000 rae 359728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely gorgeous - you have the decorating gene for sure. I love the chandelier and the color scheme! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359727 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:14:51 +0000 catgirl 359727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! You need your own HDTV show! "Makeovers with MaryK" or something like that. I have a guest room to redo and this is inspiring me to get a move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359726 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:10:11 +0000 kellygirl 359726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good, MaryK! I love the dark green walls with the lighter turquoises. Fab contrast--very unexpected and dramatic. Like the little pops of red too. I didn't have time to go through the whole blog but really enjoyed flipping through your pics. I have a guest room project looming ahead of me too. May I ask what color you have on the walls? Love the frames in the entry too : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-guest-room-project#post-359725 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:09:38 +0000 modgrl 359725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such amazing taste!
