I'm so excited to finally show you my guest bedroom makeover that I did using the Sherwin-Williams Chip It! button. If you missed any of my previous posts leading up to this one, including how I used the Sherwin-Williams Chip It! button to pick a paint color palette for my room and how I then used the palette to help me choose accessories, you can read the posts here and here.
In the last post I revealed that I was going to use Sherwin-Williams Worldy Gray for the entire room. After getting it home and putting up a few sample swatches, I realized that the color wasn't dark enough for my room. There are two really large windows in there and with the amount of light flooding in, that particular color looked white. I was bummed because it's such a gorgeous color, but I went back to my local Sherwin-Williams store and the salesperson there was so helpful in helping me choose another gray. She suggested I use Amazing Gray instead, which is just one shade darker than Worldly Gray (they're on the same color palette). The color turned out beyond what I could have imagined; I love it!
Here's one last look at the before:
And here's the after:

Well, since I rent, I can't use the Chip It! tool for my own home. But, I would like to use it to redo the guest room in my parents' new home. The room still has depressing white walls and I'd like to make it feel cozier when I come to visit..

I would love to redo my living room. I've been spending so much time there and I really would love to add a fun color to one of my walls and definitely a new desk.
Thanks for hosting this fab giveaway.
I love how your room turned out, the colour is gorgeous + really lets the light into the room xx
We too have been wanting to redo our guest bedroom (so I guess that would be the room). Its always amazing to me how changing a room can make such an impact. I liked your room before, but now it looks so much brighter. I also like how you used the singer stand as a table. I have one almost identical and never thought of using it like this, so maybe I will have to try it. Thanks again.
wow Annemarie, its gorgeous! Its like a completely different room, well done!
adore it! i would so use this for my main room! im dying to paint it mint and high gloss black and get some art and new accent pieces, maybe a cowhide rug. some bookcase goodies.
Ummm....can I come be your guest?? :)
It looks amazing!

Wow, this looks fabulous! I love the calming gray with crisp white touches. Very inviting, yet chic!
Oh.my.god. This is AMAZING! I hope my bedroom looks as good as this!
Oh my word, I am in love! It is just stunning, and you did an amazing job!
I think I'd want to make-over my bedroom. When my husband and I got married, we compromised and kept it "gender friendly", I guess you could say. Now, I really love the look of lighter colors, as seen above!
What a GORGEOUS makeover!! I also would like to redo my bedroom. It is very pretty and neutral but not the color I would like. Plus I recently bought a beautiful tufted headboard and I think the right color on the walls would really make it Pop!
thanks for the great giveaway!

I'm going to moving apartments soon and I would love to makeover my bedroom! I'm hoping to have a little more space when I move so it would be fun to see what I could do with that room!
Also, I love your guest bedroom makeover- it's beautiful. Definitely a room I would want to stay in!
wow! It looks AMAZING!!
it looks fantastic! so pretty and feminine. excellent job! Teri
your bedroom looks amazing!! i love the new paint color and DIY touches!
I'm literally in love - this is so amazing - and to keep it under $500. I have to go back and read through it all after work - but had to post
AH love your vanity area!!!
Love that mirror, where is it from? Your bedroom looks super glamorous and inviting, great job:)
Best,

First things first, I am stunned by the makeover- it's amazing. every single shot is magazine worthy. Wonderful job, lady! I would so use chip it to make over our small bedroom, needs some light to it!
Looks amazing! It confirms that painting our bedroom gray is a great choice. Now I have great inspiration.

Gorgeous!! And I love your blog -- just found it via Pinterest. I'd like to repaint my bedroom. Now that I live with my boyfriend, I'm having a hard time decorating for a coed living space!

Good God AnneMarie. It is gorgeous. That shade is SO calming. And I love all of the beautiful touches that you added! :)
I totally love the new look of your guest bedroom. So elegant and chic. My little girl had been sharing the bedroom with her brother and I think she's now ready to get her own room. I can't wait to Chip It and start designing her new bedroom. :)

I liked even liked the "Before" I love all the little touches you added! Very Darling!
Absolutely love, love, LOVE what you did with this space!!! Amazing transformation, and perfect for a guest room because it feels comfortable and well-tended to, but also does not force a particular style upon the occupant that might not be their own..
Wow! This looks amazing! I am in LOVE with that gold polka dot art, so adorable!
I love your new bedroom - so bright and cheery yet still a tranquil space. I too want to redo our bedroom. I'd like to make it feel more calming & cozy with pops of fun suprises (much like you did). A visa card and Sherwin-Williams gift card would most definitely help so we could get started!

Looks gorgeous!!! I love it.
I would love to redo my guest room or office in my new home. I just bought a home and have spent a ton fixing it up. My master bedroom has a very similar clean, neutral style (with a little glamour) very similar to your redone guest bedroom. You have done a great job. I love chandeliers and would love the DIY info. Can't wait to check it out.
We need to rehaul our home office!
Also- can you tell me where you bought the beautiful mirror and the glitter/dot print? love!
l love the monochromatic night stand. l actually saw it on Pinterest first!
THe room looks absolutely gorgeous - you have such a wonderful eye! I have actually been trying to hunt down a Singer sewing table like that for myself, but they can be pretty pricey and hard to find in good condition, but I think they are such a great piece!
I live in a studio, so I'd love to re-do my bedroom/living room/study. Your place looks so great!
I tweeted about it here: https://twitter.com/maysieo/status/227537562552643585
So gorgeous!!! It looks so fresh and inviting. I love the personal touch of the sewing machine. Great job!
Amazing job! I hope we can make our guest room as inviting!
I love your blog!

Your room looks beautiful! I have been coveting crystal lamps like yours.
P.S. I would love to paint my kitchen cabinets and my master bedroom as well!
Amazing transformation! It's so light and lovely! Love it! and great DIY's! Cant wait to see the tutorials! :) x
I think it looks better now. I dont like when the bed is standing in front of window.

I would love to redo our master bath. It's tired and needs an update.
I recently moved in to my boyfriends very masculine (brown, black, and white) apartment, and would love to paint a few of the walls to cheer the space up.
I'm going to be moving into a new apartment soon and could totally utilize the Chip It! tool for a new living room! Apartments are tough to make "your own"! courtney.e.perkins07@gmail.com

I would love to do find the perfect paint color for my kitchen. We're about to do a re-model and I've been dreaming of creamy whites, but I am still undecided!
my tiny apartment needs a makeover in every room, but i'd love to redo our living room with a fresh coat of paint - since i'm not adept at deciding coordinating colors the chip it would be sweet!
It's so hard to pick one room I would redo, but I think it would be our bedroom. With the exception of the kitchen and living area, we spend the most time there. It would be great to absolutely LOVE it! Yours looks great!
I would redo my bedroom. Yours looks amazing!
Can you redo my bedroom THANKS. Super classy.

I would re-do my living room. It is begging for a Chip-It makeover!! Thanks.
I can't wait to find out how you did the headboard and chandelier! I would love to paint over my daughter's room. Now that she is older we want to freshen it up.
I need to re-do all three bathrooms in my home. They are the last to be remodeled in the whole house and really need updating.
I would LOVE to redo my bedroom. It's definitely a sanctuary and I would love it make it a calming, relaxing place.
would love for you to link to my tutorial on the confetti art on your nightstand:

thanks!
well, i still have a lot of color decisions to make for the (not-so-new-but-i-will-pretend) house, but the family room has been the trickiest. would love to put Chip It to work in there!
thanks for the grand opportunity! ox
I would use the Chip It button to help decorate my bedroom! I could definitely use some updating there.
You did such an amazing job!!! That is the perfect gray and paired with those pretty gold polka dots, well, it's perfection.
I love Sherwin-Williams and would love to make over a few pieces of vintage furniture for when I finally move into New York!
Have a great weekend!
Would love to make over our master bedroom using chip it -- i would love a new wall color!!
I'd love to make over my bedroom. I've just moved in and it's pretty sparse. Your room looks lovely!

Love the bedroom makeover! I'm moving into a new place next month and would love to spruce it up with a new paint color and some fun accents!
I would use it for our formal living room. It is in desperate need of a makeover!
we are moving in less than a month to our first purchase - a condo! and it is in need of paint ... in all rooms!

I would LOVE to do my living room. I recently moved and it has been a work in progress.
I am moving into my first apartment this fall and it needs lots of work before it'll look nice!
my laundry room!
I would like do any of the rooms in my soon-to-be apartment.

Hello! Thanks so much for this lovely giveaway. I am newly married and trying to paint our new condo and decorate the whole thing. This giftcard would be very helpful, and ChipIt will definitely help! I can't wait to get started. :)
My wife and I recently purchased a townhouse, and the walls are the 'cookie cutter' yellow/brown/beige. Needless to say it is a total mood killer. We want our future child's bedroom to be a creative palace, and Chip-It would be a great help!
I would absolutely love to redo my bedroom. I've never felt 100% at home there. Like you, I have some great windows that let in a bunch of light so a white/grey theme is definitely tricky. I don't want to wash out the room but that color scheme is something I've always wanted to do but didn't know how to accomplish.
I am moving to my new apartment on friday (!!!) and I would LOVE some help with purchasing new items to redesign my bedroom! I love the neutrals you used in your guest bedroom, this room has definitely inspired me! Thank you so much!
I also tweeted about this giveaway here: https://twitter.com/jamielynnej/status/230695331627679744
Thanks again!
I would re-do my roommate's bedroom. She's been dreaming of a light grey color on her walls with white trim. I'd love to make her dreams come true!
OH MY GOSH!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE it!! i may need to paint our master this color!! You did awesome lady!!!
What kind of camera/lens do you use??
I'd love to use chip it to makeover my bedroom!

I am DYING to re-do my kitchen. I want to paint the cupboards and really give my boring circa 1975 kitchen a bright new life. I am a real baker and Love being in the kitchen to create, I hate being in my dreary kitchen. I want to paint the cupboards and the backsplash and play off the colors of my kitchenaid mixer (cobalt) and Pfaltzgraff diahes (Bright Pistoulet pattern). Being able to do this make-over would truly be a blessing.It would make my cupcakes that much sweeter :) Thanks!!
I'd love to do my Master Bedroom

The before is great but the after really is exceptional. I would love to re-do my own guest room using the chip it, and my bedroom, as well! And I 'm dying to read your DIY headboard, I badly need one for my guest rm.
Inspirational post, thanks!
I would like to do the living room. It is a total mess.

I can't paint my walls and it is killing me! My whole apartment desperately needs a makeover!
My dream for a new makeover, would be a former bedroom in our basement. I need to make this over for a physical therapy/exercise room.
I had a hip replacement almost 7 years ago, that ended in a nightmare of permanent nerve damage to my lower leg. I have severe cramping, and sometimes seizures, so I need to do physical therapy daily to relieve the pain, and strengthen the leg. I do have some equipment-a recumbent bike, a mini-trampoline, an AB-doer chair. This room is also large enough to do workout videos. We have primer on the walls, but need paint, and most importantly, need flooring, as it is just the old, uneven cement floor. It also needs a ceiling covering to hide the dark brown exposed beams and wiring. And then new lights. I am also dreaming of a raised table/bench, like at the physical therapy business, so I can do the leg and stomach exercises that are normally done on the floor, because I cannot get up and down from the floor without help, or the possibility of injury. It is cost prohibitive for me to go out of our home for therapy. We live 12 miles from the nearest town, on hilly and winding roads, which are quite dangerous during our Michigan winters. I rarely go out in winter now, because of the dangers of falling on the ice.
(For those of you who don't understand what nerve damage does: my leg is in the constant state of what it feels like when your leg falls asleep, and you can't feel it correctly, and the sensation of it "waking up", when you step down on it, and you are wobbly and off balance. Sometimes it feels like I am holding on to an electric fence, and shocks shoot thru my leg, and cause seizures. That is my "normal" now. It has not changed for 7 years.)
I pray that you will consider my entry, so that I can recover my health to the best of my ability. Thank you!
Annemarie, this room is beautiful! Amazing Gray was the perfect color choice, and I definitely agree going a shade darker was the way to go. I'd love to feature this on my paint color blog. You wouldn't have to do a thing, just let me know if you're interested!
