I still can't get over that this is my bedroom with this charming paneling , the bedroom and bathroom feel like two completely new rooms a suite in a nantucket cottage perhaps.
This is the color I am sampling right now , it is not the color , it is nice but I am not feeling it . It is called Mild Mint it is from Behr's new line of primer and paint in one , it is a fantastic paint so thick with great coverage . The best part is that you can get samples tinted to give them a try at home and they are under $5.00 so this is a great new product. This large area I sampled was only half of the amount of the sample .
I am going to go get a greyish tan similar to the color of this bench fabric and I know it will be the best option for the wall color , but only sampling will tell . The green is just too sweet.
Good thing it is only a small area to re-paint again and again .

Ah, I've wanted to do paneling in my house for so long. If it weren't on the market right now, I'd do it in a heartbeat! :)
Looks fab!
I am soooo in love with what you have done! I am dying to do some sort of paneling in my home and love the style that you have done in the bedroom. Thanks so much for keeping us posted on your progress. You are so inspiring!!!
this is gorgeous! will you share what materials you used (2x4's cut down?). I'm considering Karla's version at It's the little things. She used MDF so I'm wondering which out of yours and hers would be less expensive/ easier.
Looks so fresh and airy. I'd love to kick back and relax in there - want to come to my house and do it all over again! ;) Lovely!
Well done. Your bedroom is fab. Thank you for sharing; I can't wait to see what is next. You are like a busy beaver. Jennifer
Chris, this is just stunning! I would love to do this in every room of my house. Another amazing job, congrats! I just posted my stairway reno, which was inspired by your own gorgeous stairs. Someday I will add the chair rail and moldings to complete the look, but for now we will just enjoy them as is. Thanks for the inspiration every day.
Sure love this room! Thanks for all the details on how you did this. I agree the green paint isn't quite it - is it... Looking forward to the finale :)
Looks very relaxing! I agree though, the mint isn't fit for that room. I am loving the teal-blue colored pillow on the large white chair, maybe a toned-down teal blue of sorts or some sort of a soft blue/gray. Can't wait to see the final result!
I meant striped, not white chair. lol
Beautiful work, Chris! Your suite is sweet! I eagerly await the final look.
I am SOOOO in love with your home! It is absolutely gorgeous! and I love the colors. It looks so cozy yet dangerous too....I would never want to get outta bed haha :)
I love it! I can't wait to see the final color.
I posted today about the board and batten that I just finished this weekend and added a link to your project to my list of B&B inspiration.

It's looking beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished room...
You are truly inspiring me to get moving and redo the bedroom! Thanks (I think..)

What an amazing transformation! Can you share where you bought your paisley curtains?
Beautiful!
Thanks for the info Chris. I too love those paisley curtains. You have such classy yet casual taste. Love it.
It's beautiful! You have inspired me in the past to do trim detail projects in my home and it looks like you are doing it again. Thanks! By the way Martha Stewart has a color called Weimaraner. It is a lovely gray tan that we used in our master bedroom with linen drapes, that look much like the linen on your bench. Just a thought. Jill
OMGosh...this is one of the prettiest bedrooms I've ever seen. I. JUST. LOVE. IT.
It is looking fabulous Chris. Whatever colour you end up with will be just right, or should I say Just Beachy!
I just found your beautiful blog. The fact that it is Canadian is an additional bonus. It's nice to see homes decorated with items we can get here ... and also celebrate all the talented design people we have. Congratulations on a great blog.
I'm SOOOOOO in love with your room! The paneling looks absolutely amazing!!! LOVE all of the colors that you used! Job well done, friend! ;)
Smiles,
Rachel
Just lovely! I featured you over at my blog today, thanks so much! :)
Wow Chris great work. I've had trouble leaving a comment when I read your blog lately. I guess you've changed something. Anyway, I love your bedroom panelling and the light colour is definitely more you than the dark colour was before. Don't get me wrong, I think they both look nice, but the light colour seems more your style. Funny my husband actually reads your blog from time to time. He loves your DIY style. He even is thinking about doing paneling in our master bedroom after seeing how great it looks in yours.
Take care,
Lisa
P.S, the girls first day of school pictures are so cute.
As always, you've done a fantabulous job! Thanks for sharing it with us... I can't wait to see the final paint choice!!! God's blessings, Sarah :D
Beautiful!! Will you come do mine next?!? Awesome job!!
It looks great! I think the tan will look best! I bet your hubby is thrilled he has a wife that takes on all these projects!
Itlooks wonderful! and I love the green, I don't think it's too sweet - I think it's wonderful!! but I'm sure you will make the right choice. congrats on your new suite!
So. Yummy!!!
Love it and I completely agree with the paint choice. A grayish tan will be amazing. Can't wait to see what you find and choose.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
