<span style="font-weight: bold">Here’s a project that was completed not long ago. When my daughter moved out on her own, I decided to turn her room into the main guest quarters, as it was larger than the existing guest room. I still stayed with the tropical vibe, but went with a more beachfront feel.

This was also my first try at constructing a wainscoting wall treatment. It was a PITA, but the wife likes it, so that’s all that matters I guess. I cheated a little here too by bringing in a pro painter who sprayed the color because I didn’t want any brush/roller marks on the wood. I painted the walls.

Also made the window cornice and bought some Mexican Parota for the table tops (still need to sand/poly them). I also made the collage over the headboard from 3 pictures, backed by some rough cork tiles framed by some stained and distressed pine. What you can’t see is a faux beam at the peak of the ceiling which has a dark bamboo inlay. The Oahu sign (the wife and I were married there) was made from scrap wood lying on the garage floor.

Still trying to talk the wife into a TV over the closet w/home theater system.</span>
