When you move into a new-build, you will find that everything is magnolia.  Everything. After a year and a half of looking at my fresh magnolia walls and I’d had enough.  It was time to redecorating; or rather just decorating because all we did when we moved in was unpack.  Since I had never decorated before I decided to started in the guest room incase I failed miserably. 

Some before photos: 

I painted the walls and furniture white: 

Ikea Furniture – two coats of primer and then one coat of white, eggshell.  No sanding. 

Wall – two coats of white emulsion.
