Hey hey!! I’ve got a fun room makeover for you today! My sister Amy just moved to Vegas from Texas, and I can not even begin to tell you how wonderful that makes my heart feel. So naturally, I had to welcome her with a room makeover right?!
We decided to start off with her guest room,and going into it we were quite literally starting with a blank slate.
Using Sherwin-Williams® 2018 Color of the Year, Oceanside SW 6496 we turned it into this stunner:
Aren’t you so in love with that wall color?! When I found out that the 2018 Color of the Year was Oceanside my first thought was “well, that’s bold” and it is, but in a laid back enough way that everyone can pull it off! I paired it with Sherwin-Williams 2016 Color of the Year Alabaster SW 7008 (remember the baby’s nursery? Man I loved that room.), and it created this amazing balance between light and dark. I used Emerald® Interior for the paint, I’ve got a whole post diving into paint sheen, but I used matte to minimize the wall texture as much as I could.
I didn’t use a ton of color anywhere else because the wall is the very clear star of the show. Just a little terra cotta here and there, mixed woods, and camel leather, with lots of greenery (and how great does the Vintage Green letter board look?!)
So lets dive into the design, shall we?
The bed. *Sigh* the first time we locked eyes in Ikea I knew it needed to be macramed within an inch of its life and I’ve been plotting ever since (it only goes up to a queen size, so that was my problem).
I LOVE how it turned out. The knots that I used are ultra basic, and anyone can do this project! I got the rope from Knot and Rope Supply and ordered a 600 ft spool. We ended up using about 1/2 of it for this project…which means another one is probably in my future, you know so I can stare and pet it every day.
Oceanside is such a commanding color, mixed with anything else remotely vibrant the space could go full on colorfest faster than you can say Punky. I pared it with a lot of muted colors. The oversized pillow on the bed is this rug from World Market and some stuffing! Check out how the geniuses at Sherwin-Williams created a space and got more complimentary color ideas!
On the wall by the window I used one of my vintage maps (remember when I used one in the $939 bathroom makeover?) These aren’t the kind of things that you just give up, so I figure if the people in my family have them than at least I know if I need to break in and steal it they likely won’t press charges…
Murfey Jean is a huge fan.
Full source list post is coming tomorrow!
HUGE thank you to Sherwin-Williams for partnering up with me on this fun project!!
Congratulations to Lauren Silveira for winning the social giveaway we hosted for the Color of the Year earlier this week! She won a design consultation from me, five gallons of Sherwin-Williams paint and a gift card from West Elm.

Tell me what you think the 2018 Color of the Year, do you think you could picture it in your house?!
It’s all fun and games until IKEA forgets a screw. < That made me laugh out loud.
Nice room by the way. Love the colour.
I loved it, but I live on the bay and found the color to be a bit warm. Have any ideas for cooler colors?
Love it all, as usual! And is there a tutorial for the awesome macrame bed in our future, please and thank you?!
I second that! 🙂
Third!! You didn’t think you were going to get away without a tutorial did you? ? 🙂
WIll there be a tuturiol for the macrame wall hanging? Either this one or the one from a macies bedroom?
Love the color and how laid back the room is. I am in sync with the other comments. Is there a macrame tutorial in the future? Please???
I want that bed!! The room looks great and I love that you are not afraid to use bold colors on walls. The room is fun yet stays calm, and the mix of the wall color with the yellow from the chair and the muted purple in the pillow = perfect. Brings life to the room without going overboard.
Love how it turned out! That color is fab.

I JUST hung a DIY macrame piece of art behind my guest bed this past weekend. I love it so much!
Wow!!! Such a beautiful room. That color is amazing. Just like you. So glad you married my son!!
Great design! That bed is fantastic. Adding macrame really perks it up. Congrats to Oceanside for being chosen as color of the year. It’s so gorgeous, I want everything in that shade.
Love this bedroom,especially the bed. So inviting and and relaxing.
How did you hang the map to the wall? My husband is a teacher and he just found some vintage maps hidden in a closet in his classroom! Would love to add it to our sons room- but we’re unsure as to the best way to get it on the wall.
Thanks!
Such a great color and I love how you paired it with the natural leather and neutral Tones! That saying is so true…hahaha…almost as bad as when a Lego is missing!
Hi. Love the Oceanside and the white color combination.
Can you tell me the color code of the white wall right behind the map? Is it SW-7008 Alabaster behind the hanging map as well?
Yes!
Love it. I used Amalfi in my dining room and hallway- a similar color to Oceanside. I used Emerald matte but the hallway just seems to glow at night.
Nice oceanic-type theme paint.
Where might I find an inexpensive map of Tortunga? I’d like to put it on my wall after the painting is completed.
Love it!
Awesome. Room. I love that color and the map idea was genius. Great job.
Awesome color and i love the mapbidea. Complete genius. Great job.
I’m in love with that macrame wall piece! I don’t even care about the painted wall at all-I only see that lovely yarn art! What is the pattern or where did you get it?
Love this guest room!! Fabulous job on the macrame; it truly adds such character to the bed frame and just pops off that Oceanside! Thanks for sharing your tips with the textured walls and sheen – our new home has textured EVERYTHING and finding the right sheen was a true struggle in the beginning!
Sorry, the color would not be my choice. Also, that brown cabinet/? next to the door makes that area look cluttered. It also weighs that side of the room down from the pictures shown. The stuff hanging from the bed post and string thing hanging as a head board decoration would be a dusting, achooo, night mare. Some designs look pretty if you don’t have to clean them.
We bought this bed last summer and I had the same vision of a weaving hanging from it! Also, the house we moved into has the exact same wall color in the master bedroom, haha! Have we met!?!? Lol
Love this! Can you give more details about the weight, fibers, diameter, etc of the rope? The link to purchase would be awesome. Thanks!
