How have y’all been doing? Schools are back in session for us and we are slowly getting back on track with our schedule. In the meantime I managed to squeeze in a few updates to our upstairs guest bedroom. With this new addition I can now heave a sigh of relief that the room is 80% done (nothing is 100% done around here so this is great)! Come on in, let me show you what I’m talking about.
Did you spot my fabulous painting from Arts Heaven?
It is an oil painting reproduction of Andre Derain’s Regency Street, London. Arts Heaven provides museum quality oil painting reproductions hand-painted by talented artists who showcase the same brilliance, attention to detail, and artistic movement as the originals. And the best part for me is their long list of products available for you to order.
Have you ever seen the selection of available oil painting reproductions at your local home decor stores and wondered why they all carry the same paintings? Yes, I do get that these are famous paintings by famous artists but most of them are also available as reprints and are so ubiquitous that they border on being generic. What is the fun in having the same painting as the one that you see at every doctor’s office even if yours is an actual painting vs. print? I picked this particular painting ‘coz I like Derain’s style and it is not the usual stuff that you get to see everywhere. The fact that it mirrored my color scheme for the room was a big plus. Don’t know how to frame a canvas painting? No worries here’s my tutorial.
Can you spot another quickie update in the room?
Yup, those lamp shades….they got some Gold gilding going on there. I also gilded the painting frame.
Forgot to tell ya, the canvas came un-stretched rolled in a tube, by the way very well packed, and I stretched it myself. Oh yeah saved $$$ by DIYing it. Nope not gonna go to the framing store anymore. Here’s the video tutorial on that one.
You may remember the coral tray from this wave tray post and the navy bedding from here. The flowers are from my garden. Paint color-is Sherwin Williams Naval matched to Behr at Home Depot.
Oh and the frame for the painting that also involved some DIY. I’m so happy how this room turned out.
I’ve since updated the other side of the room adding a navy and coral dresser and pom pom curtains that I made from a bed sheet.
Got to sneak in one last shot of the room.
Wait one more through my tile mirror.
Can you say I’m obsessed with this color combo? 😉
Arts Heaven provided me with the painting you see in this post. All opinions are my own.
love it! i love the wall color so much!
Me too, was inspired to go dark after I saw your bedroom. 🙂
This room looks great! I may have to redecorate using more navy! And I love the coral rather than red which would probably have been my accent. The coral is bright, cheerful and unexpected!!
I know, my gut instinct would have been to go with red too. So glad I went with coral instead. Now I’m looking for just the right coral chalk paint for my dresser to go on the other side.

Looks fabulous!!! I envy your style!
Very Pretty! I love that color combination!
I love that color combo! It’s one of my favorites for clothing, too 🙂
I really like the little details in gold. The lamps are fantastic. I’ll go check out the art now…
Thanks Gina. I actually bought a dress in the same combo after I finalized the colors for this room!
Turned out beautiful Vidya. The DIY mirror seem to have found its place in the guest bedroom. I have always loved the blue and crisp white together. Makes the blue shine through. But Blue with pops of Orange blends very well. The painting actually made a whole lot of difference by bringing it all together. I am sure your guests will be one happy camper :). Good job!
I have a similar color in our master bedroom, it’s more close to the blue on your bedding and have paired it with pop’s of maroon/red (Similar to Tommy Hilfiger). But I also have grey, black, white and silver colors.
the colors look great together and the room is inviting and lovely! I love how you brought the art into the room!
The room looks gorgeous! I love that painting too. I’m looking for some art for our dining room so I’ll have to check out Arts Heaven!
Oh my goodness!! This is beautiful! I love, LOVE, love the color combo and that painting ties it all together! Great job!
LOVE your bedroom makeover! I’m partial to navy and coral as well… gorgeous!
Thanks Sondra. I never realized how fast Navy can grow on you. Now I want to paint the whole house Navy!
This room is beautiful! The painting totally makes it!
I’m really digging navy blue lately and your room looks beautiful in it. 🙂
Hey Vidya, Your guest bedroom looks so cozy. I guess the navy blue paint gives that feel. You styled the room so simple but looks awesome. The art on the wall, the bedding, the lamps, the tray and the mirror.
Looks very put together and love the color combination!
