We're doing this
One Room Challenge makeover right. Even though we're not changing the wall color from the existing Benjamin Moore Simply White, we're repainting the whole room to fix some old issues and errors, and get a really beautiful, high quality look overall!

If you're new to this blog from the ORC site, welcome!! I'm Suzannah, a longtime DIYer and design lover currently making over our 1937 Tudor revival style home, our second fixer-upper. I have a 2-year-old and baby on the way, but my husband and I have done almost all of the work on our homes ourselves! I've blogged about all of it so you can check out my tutorials page and room reveals to see. You can also follow along with me and my projects on Instagram! I also co-host the Your Home Story podcast!

Perfect painting and wall patching
A little background on the house where this guest room is. It belongs to my friends/clients Gabriela and Matt, who bought it 3 years ago and immediately had the floors refinished and all the rooms repainted. It's a pretty classic 1961 home and had most of the original features, but had seen some funky improvements from the previous owners including different bold paint colors in every room. It was a great fresh start to have all of the rooms repainted white--they choose Simply White by Benjamin Moore, in flat for the ceilings and eggshell for the walls.
When I've walked through their home, I've never noticed anything wrong with the walls, so I was wondering why they wanted to repaint in this room even though we decided not to change the color.
Gabriela and Matt have high standards, and weren't happy with the quick job the painter did 3 years ago. Let me tell you why!
