Color-Drenching Room Makeover (Cozy, Moody + Guest Favorite Design)

Featured

Posted on April 21, 2026 by Roeshel

Comfort is always my goal when designing a space.

I haven’t had the chance to fully try color drenching in my own home yet, but it’s been sitting at the top of my “can’t wait to try this” list… and after this project, I’m completely sold.

What “Color Drenching” Means

Color drenching is when an entire room is painted in one color tone.

Walls, trim, ceiling, doors. Everything stays within the same color family (or even the exact same shade).

Instead of contrast, the space becomes immersive, cohesive, and intentionally calm.

Why It Works

At first, it might seem like painting everything the same color would hide architectural details.

But interestingly, it often does the opposite.

Without sharp contrast, your eye relaxes… and that allows details to stand out in a softer, more subtle way.

The result:

A moody, cozy atmosphere
A clean, uncluttered look
A space that feels intentional instead of busy

It’s bold, but in a quiet, grounded way.

How To Try It

If you’re curious but hesitant, here’s how to ease into it:

1. Start small
Try a powder room, bedroom, or office first.

2. Rethink light vs. dark

Bright room? Don’t be afraid of lighter tones
Low light? Go deeper and moodier (this often works better than fighting it)

3. Use tones if you’re unsure
Same color family, slightly different shades = softer version of the look.

4. Layer in texture
Wood, linens, rugs, metal accents. This keeps the room from feeling flat.

My First Color Drenching Experience

four poster bed styled with layered blue and green pillows and quilt with a wall canopy of green sheet curtains, curtain lights and floral garland

This project was for a short-term rental bedroom.

The space had all the charm of a traditional bed and breakfast.

Traditional before

This is going way back to previous owners and the traditional B&B called “A Step Back in Time”. It was very traditional.

Updated Before

Transitional style
Worn finishes
No headboard
Ready for a refresh

The Bantam Bungalow showed a huge improvement, but in person, it felt a little tired and outdated. It was time for an update. Shelby (the owner) was upgrading to a four-poster bed and wanted to create a canopy-style feel.

That decision naturally led to:

Fresh paint
Updated accessories
A more intentional design direction

We wanted something moody, cozy, and memorable.

That’s when we decided to try color drenching.

After: A Cozy, Immersive Guest Experience

And the result?

Completely transformed.

The room now feels:

Comfortable
Unique (not your average rental)
Immersive in the best way

It’s one of those spaces that feels good the second you walk in.

And based on guest response right away, it quickly became a favorite.

The twinkling lights behind sheer curtains and topped with garland gives this moody space an enchanted forest energy.

Is Color Drenching Right for You?

If you love a cozy, slightly bold look (but still want calm and simplicity), this is absolutely worth trying.

It works especially well if:

You want your home or rental to stand out

Your room has character you want to enhance

You’re tired of playing it safe with neutral contrast

Paint Color Used

Color name: Sherwin Williams Regatta
Finish: Eggshell
Brand: I believe it was color-matched in Behr. Because in this space, it reads as a rich deep blue with subtle teal undertones depending on the light. So it’s “Regatta” but color match + lighting. Opinion: In this full room application, it reads more like a historic color than a water-inspired color to me.

Get the Look

This cozy, color-drenched bedroom came together with layered texture, soft lighting, and a few simple elements that make a big impact.

Bedding & Comfort

Oversized Luxury Quilt Set – (it’s not the one shown, it’s in laundry rotation), it’s a rich texture and cozy layering (we’ve even had guests ask to buy it!)
Sheet Set – soft, neutral base for contrast

Lighting

Green Pendant Light – adds warmth and a subtle pop of color
Curtain String Lights – soft glow behind the canopy for ambiance

Canopy Look (Behind the Headboard)

Sheer Curtains (2 panels) – creates that soft, draped canopy feel
Curtain Rod – simple structure to frame the bed
Greenery Garland – adds depth and an organic touch
Peony Garlands (2) – softens the look with subtle color

Helpful Tools

Safety Pins – easy, hidden way to secure fabric
Floral Twist Ties – great for attaching garland and layering elements

Finishing What You Started (Even When It Gets Frustrating)

Posted on April 12, 2026 by Roeshel

In part 1 (Wanting to Quit), I shared the messy middle of this cabinet build, the part where the instructions felt overwhelming, the (too many) pieces all looked the same, and I hit that familiar moment of wondering if I should just give up.

But this part matters too: what happened next.

Not because everything suddenly got easy, but because I kept going.

This project reminded me that progress usually doesn’t happen in one big breakthrough. It happens one small step at a time.

Picking Back Up (Even When You’d Rather Walk Away)

After taking a break and stepping away for a bit, I came back with fresh eyes.

Feeling stuck like this? Start here.

Projects like this always remind me that creating a home you love doesn’t happen all at once. It happens one small choice at a time, one project, one corner, one room. If you’ve ever second-guessed every decision in a room, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created the Confident Room Method. It’s not about getting it perfect, it’s about finally having a simple plan so you CAN move forward with confidence. Get the Confident Room Method printable guide here.

That helped more than forcing myself through frustration ever would have.

Instead of thinking about the whole cabinet, I focused on the next step in front of me: assembling the drawer.

Sometimes that’s really the difference between quitting and finishing. Just choosing the next step instead of trying to carry the whole project at once.

Assembly: Slower Than Expected, But Worth It

Assembly took patience.

There were a lot of pieces, hardware to sort, instructions to double-check, and plenty of moments where I had to slow down and make sure everything was lined up correctly.

A few things that helped:

laying out all pieces first
keeping hardware sorted by label
hand tightening before fully securing screws
checking alignment before moving on

It wasn’t glamorous, but seeing it come together made the whole project finally start to feel real.

Knowing When to Ask for Help

One thing I’ve learned over the years… whether it’s home projects, decorating, or life in general, is that doing things yourself doesn’t have to mean doing everything alone.

I handled the bulk of the cabinet build myself, but for the heavier lifting and final adjustments, I was glad to have an extra set of hands.

That’s not giving up. That’s finishing wisely.

There’s strength in starting something. But there’s also strength in knowing when support makes sense.

The Best Part: Seeing It Come Together

There’s always a moment in a project where things finally shift.

The parts that felt random start making sense. The hard work starts to look like something.

That moment happened when the cabinet was fully assembled and in place.

Suddenly, all the frustration from the beginning felt worth it.

navy-pantry-cabinet, brown wingback chair

Just now noticing it needs a wipe down from assembly smudges. lol BUT seriously, I love the deep blue color against the warm wood tones in this room. It adds storage, function, and a finished look without feeling bulky.

A Reminder for More Than Just DIY

This project was a good reminder of something I come back to often:

You don’t have to finish everything all at once.

You just have to keep going.

One drawer. One hinge. One step.

Sometimes the middle feels messy because that’s what building looks like.

And sometimes the most satisfying part is simply proving to yourself that you can stay with something long enough to see it come together.

Cabinet Details + Sources

For anyone considering a similar project:

cabinet source: Kitchen Storage Pantry (affiliate link)
color/style: Modern, Navy Blue, Gold Hardware
total assembly time: It took me about 4 hours total (split into 2 days).
tools used: Phillips screwdriver, level
size: approx 41″ wide by 68″ tall by 16ish” deep
difficulty level: For the most part I found it tedious but overall not too challenging. (Difficult parts mentioned below.)

Helpful Tips:

• Particle board is not forgiving. I had a few pieces assembled, probably only at around step 1 or 2 and decided to move to a more open area. TIP: Do not shift or attempt to move what is partially built. It will shift, shred the “wood” and screws will pop out. I was able to continue to build but do have to address a weakened damaged area.

No shame in asking for a second set of hands and help:

• Assembly begins upside down and is separated into top and bottom of the unit. It will require 2 people to flip and place top section on top of bottom assembled piece.

• Remember to hold your screwdriver straight. Screws in the drawer slider kept going in at a bit of an angle. However, those specific screws need to be flush so the drawer glides on the slider/track.

• The door hinges are adjustable which is super helpful. It’ll take some small adjustments with the screwdriver to get doors level.

• For this cabinet, all pieces were included. However, on the last door with storage shelves on the door, one section of pilot holes was missing. And one of the metal dowels for the door shelves was 1/2 inch shorter than required. Just keep in mind you may have some minor troubleshooting and fixes to address.

Would I do it again? Yes. Just with snack breaks, lots of patience, and a second person on standby.

Bathroom Makeover Before and After (From Dated to Fresh & Inviting)

Featured

Posted on March 27, 2026 by Roeshel

There’s nothing “wrong” with a dated bathroom…until you start to notice how much it affects the way a space feels.

Save this for later:

Bathroom makeover before and after showing a dated bathroom transformed into a fresh, inviting space

This one had good bones, but it felt tired. The finishes were outdated, the wallpaper peeling, the lighting was flat, and it didn’t reflect the kind of warm, welcoming environment I’m always trying to create, whether for everyday living or for guests.

Instead of a full renovation, we focused on simple, intentional updates that would make the biggest impact.

This bathroom is part of a project I worked on for Suite Retreat BnB & Micro Event Venue, where the goal was to refresh the space while keeping it warm and inviting for guests.

Before

The layout worked. The function was there. But visually, it felt disconnected and a little forgotten.

outdated bathroom with peeling wallpaper and worn fixtures

older finishes that didn’t feel cohesive
lighting that wasn’t being utilized as a complimentary feather
no real sense of style or personality

It wasn’t terrible. It just wasn’t inviting.

The Plan

The goal wasn’t to over-design the space.

timeless blush bathroom makeover design — Wall paint: Sherwin Williams White Dogwood

It was to:

warm it up
simplify the look
create a clean, cohesive feel
add subtle touches that make it feel finished

The kind of space that feels timeless… not overdone.

This post may contain affiliate links. I only share sources for items I’ve used or genuinely love.

What Changed

1. Updated Finishes

Small changes here made a big difference.

Swapping out dated elements for cleaner, more timeless finishes instantly modernized the space without a full overhaul.

2. Better Lighting

Lighting changed everything. We kept the original pendants but now they’re a lovely feature.

Warmer, softer lighting helped the room feel more relaxed and flattering instead of harsh and flat.

3. Simple Styling

This is where a space really comes to life.

fresh towels
a small tray for organization
a touch of greenery

Nothing complicated but it makes the room feel complete.

4. Intentional Details

Instead of filling the space, I focused on just enough. Every piece has a purpose, whether it’s functional or adding warmth.

After

The difference isn’t just how it looks, it’s how it feels.

It’s calmer. Warmer. More put together.

And most importantly, it now feels like a space someone actually wants to spend time in…not just pass through. Swapping out the gold pedestal/console sink/vanity and mirror instantly updated the space and gave it a more cohesive, finished look.

It’s the kind of space that feels calm the moment you walk in, simple, but thoughtfully finished.

Short Takeaways

If you’re updating a bathroom without a full renovation:

Focus on lighting first, it changes everything
Keep finishes simple and cohesive
Add just a few intentional accessories, not clutter
Think about how the space feels, not just how it looks

A Note if You’re Refreshing Your Own Space

This is the exact kind of transformation I help with through my Style Thyme refreshes—looking at what you already have and making simple changes that create a big impact.

Sometimes you don’t need a full renovation.
You just need a fresh set of eyes and a clear plan.

What’s Next

Styling! Decorating! I’ll be sharing more details on the finishing touches and styling in an upcoming post!

Meditation Room Makeover

Posted on December 21, 2022 by Roeshel

Happy Winter Solstice!

Thyme & Mint Meditation Room Makeover

Oh you guys, I enjoy hosting at our short term rental, Suite Thyme, here in my small hometown so much! It’s such a joy to make someone’s visit to Butler a memorable experience and to share what I love about where I grew up. The apartment is tiny but big on character and guests love the trendy luxury design and comfortable atmosphere. I really love pampering guests and making them feel so welcomed and special, much as a guest in our own home. I enjoy developing friendships with many of our guests – even if we’ve never met face to face. Although sometimes I’m available for a quick meet and greet, especially if they’ve added services to to their stay. More on that below.

The apartment is located upstairs. There is a wellness studio on the main floor for my office and a place where we hold essential oil classes. We also collaborate with several small business owners and wellness practitioners to offer a “create your own personal wellness retreat” with a la carte menu services in a self care package we refer to as “Thyme & Mint”. Services include yoga from Ambur Waves (Yoga.Movement.Sound), Evangeline (reiki master) from The Lunar Fae Shop and Becca from The Wandering Bramble, Dorothy’s Herb Shop and Herbal Apothecary. We also offer essential oils education, Aroma Freedom and iTovi scans from Wellness Inspired Living. Guests can purchase herbal bath soaks, crystals and essential oils (packaged with their choice of intention collection) in advance and have them ready upon arrival.

The update:

As a member of Butler County Tourism, Suite Thyme recently had the opportunity to put together a proposal for a grant that would enhance Butler visitors’ experiences. I love a creative challenge! The room that is utilized for reiki, sound baths and guided meditation was a bit of a mish mash and in need of some TLC. I designed a medication room with purpose. I submitted by design and plan and was awarded a small grant to make it happen!

Ready for some meditation room eye candy? Let’s go!

The space went from looking like a living room with a sofa and chairs with a small crystal retail area and shelves filled with essential oils and accessories (a DIY essential oil bar) to a tranquil space dedicated to reiki, sound baths, crystal healing, private yoga and meditation There’s even a cute spot at the window with a desk for journaling. Shelves are lined with crystals, plants and self care books. There’s a small library nook with comfy floor cushions, an area for yoga with a basket of yoga mats. I added a daybed for relaxation, a tv for meditation/yoga videos or relaxing music with a bluetooth speaker, a white noise machine with northern lights projector. There are crystal singing bowls for sound healing, a mini waterfall for blocking out small city traffic noise, black out blinds for closing out the busy street. It wasn’t part of the grant, but we invested in new windows for the property as well this year.

Additional purpose and function of the space:

The apartment is small and at times a bride books the apartment for her special day. Things are tight to say the least as the space is a better fit for 2-4 people! Now, this extra room can be added on for an extra fee to act as overflow space and more square footage for bridal party prep. Or if a guest is staying with family but requires a quiet separate area for work, they have the option to add on a separate private ‘office’ and quiet workspace.

The room is now so magical and peaceful…an experience of a calming energy the minute you step through the doorway.

Suite Thyme

The second story of this updated 1880s home boasts a trendy newly renovated efficiency apartment loaded with charm. It’s located just steps from the main thoroughfare of downtown Butler’s best eateries, antique shops, breweries and more. Perfect for festival-goers and travelers looking to enjoy a small town vibe.

This 2nd floor eclectic space located above a quiet by appointment only wellness studio is loaded with personality and beautiful style.

There is a beautiful fully equipped modern kitchen area tucked into a combined living room/kitchen/dining area. Bathroom includes a clawfoot tub for soaking away tension.

What guests are saying:

“Beautiful Butler City Apartment is indeed a beautiful apartment. Everything was very nice, and the apartment was a beautiful, cozy place. The couch and beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was very modern, with high quality, modern cooking utensils. Roeshel obviously takes a lot of pride in this apartment, and it shows. I was very pleased with my experience there.”

~Robert

“Beautiful apartment next to a cute down town! Our first Airbnb fell threw last minute and Roeshel was on top of getting back to us and having us stay with such short notice! So many extra touches to ensure a great stay! Lists of local places to eat and a calendar of things to do! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Definitely recommend.”

~Brittany

“Roeshel’s place was simply spectacular!! Luxury surrounded us in every detail of her space. The kitchen was a dream…I enjoyed cooking up local vegetables. The beds were super comfortable with fabulous linens. And the decor was right out of a magazine! Roeshel’s special touches made this my favorite all-time AirBnB experience. We felt so at home and didn’t want to leave. If you’re lucky enough to get to stay here, I’m certain you’ll feel the same way.”

~Cathy

Holiday stays:

“My husband and I stayed at Roeshel’s for a trip home over the holidays and absolutely loved it! Roeshel met us for a quick tour when we arrived. The whole place is filled with cute little touches and smells amazing (all essential oils). She even had it decorated for Christmas and it looked incredible! The bed was super comfy and there are throw blankets to keep warm under and a full kitchen should you need it. We would definitely stay again!”

~Shannon

“This place had everything you need and more. I mentioned to the host that I was visiting my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter for the holidays and I found a basket of perfect toys that were placed to share with her in the space. The house is sparkling clean and the atmosphere so inviting. Everything you need to have a nice getaway! I highly recommend staying here!”

~Christine

Wedding weekend:

“My husband and I booked Roeshel’s place for our wedding weekend. We used the space to get ready in and as a retreat after our long exciting wedding day. Her space is decorated beautifully with many amenities for her guests to use. One feature my make-up artist loved was the long table/desk with built in charging station – convenient!

Not only did she go above and beyond with her communication and little touches but she also surprised us, not once but twice! When we arrived the morning of our wedding she had laid out a little welcome platter of fruits and drinks with a congratulations sign hung on the fire place mantle. She also drew up a cute little note on the calendar on the refrigerator!

When we arrived back to the space late that night after having the most perfect wedding day, we were greeted with another surprise. The entry way and stairs leading up to the AirBnB had been decorated with rose petals and electric candles. This led to a decorated romantic set up outside the apartment door along with chocolates, drinks and chilled glasses. We cried. It was the most perfect ending to the beautiful day we had just shared. It meant the world to us.

Her thoughtful touches, ultra clean + super hip space and her timely communication make this easily the best place to stay in the Butler area. If you are in town or just want a little stay-cation I can’t encourage you enough to book Roeshel’s space!”
