   Home : Q&A : Dens : redecorating a den/guest room - Please Help!

Name: Mrs. Teresa Luisi Title of Question: redecorating a den/guest room - Please Help!
Question: Dear Sirs, Please help me. I need to paint and redecorate the den/guest room. My husband spends alot of time in this room unless we have overnight guests. The room is 12 by 17. There is a pull out twin bed on the far 12 foot wall which I would like to make look like a daybed with pillows. Two end tables flank it and they are in dark wood colonial style. On the large wall with two evenly spaced windows there are two Lazy Boy Rockers in deep wedgewood blue velour fabric with a 24" square tablelamp in between shaped like a barrel in colonial style. Other large wall in far left of room is a closet for clothes and storage, and in middle of wall a very nice dark pine dry sink about 50" long on which we have a 32 inch TV on...paintings above and around the room and to the right a small cabinet with stereo equipment. On the small wall to the right of doorway entering the room is a desk with a small hutch above it and a chair. My husband not a tidy person and I am constantly fighting with him about this so I would like to make this den/guest room neater and more efficient than it is right now so that all his parafinelia will not show...pipes, magazines, tobacco, ash tray, phonebook, He does have a little end table on his right side, but it is a mess. I was thinking of painting it something like faux painting style...and the same with the table lamp....They need it. The tops are in bad condition. I know this room can look better. I can sew, so I can do window treatments...with no problem. We have a berber rug which is in fair condition in beige family of colors....Two chairs are deep wedgewood. I want a clean look but warm looking...Maybe a rustic gold color with white emamel trip on woodwork...Tops of tables would be faux blue color....new lamp shades, and a day bed coverlet in a plaid with deep blue, wedgewood, gold, green, beige. Please help...Thanks so much.
