"Some people are decade dabblers - a term Apartment Therapy's Real Homes Hub Director, Adrienne Breaux, coined to describe one who incorporates lots of colors, textures, shapes, patterns, and other throwback elements from more than just one stylish decade. And this term just might be a fit for homeowner Libby Paulsen (@libpaulsen_), a lover of both vintage fashion and interiors."
""The most important step was painting the lower part of the room with Benjamin Moore's Gladstone Tan, a paint that we had leftover from another project in the house," Libby says, adding that because the beds she scored for the room on Facebook Marketplace had no headboards, she wanted the paint to act as a backdrop and ground the space."
Homeowner Libby Paulsen and her boyfriend, Sandor, updated their previously beige guest bedroom to create a welcoming space for visiting friends. The room originally lacked design but offered large windows and potential. Libby selected Benjamin Moore Gladstone Tan leftover paint and applied it as a half-height lower wall to ground two headboard-less beds and the dresser, creating a built-in look and harmony. Libby sourced beds on Facebook Marketplace and used online tutorials, careful measuring, and taping to achieve a crisp border. The redesign introduced a whimsical retro, '70s-leaning color palette and vintage-inspired elements for an inviting guest room.
