This week we\u2019re combing through the Remodelista archives for some of our all-time favorite summer stories. Here\u2019s one:<\/em><\/p>\n

A few summers back, Julie realized she had to do something about the neglected guest bedroom in her Wellfleet, Massachusetts, summerhouse if she wanted repeat visitors. Formerly used as a study, the room had seen better days: The shelves were lined with dusty academic tomes, the baby blue walls and ceiling were peeling, and the closet interior and ancient iron radiator hadn\u2019t been painted in decades (if not a century).<\/p>\n

For advice on achieving the perfect summery seaside palette, using Behr paints from the Home Depot,  Julie called in Remodelista contributing editor and Cape Cod neighbor Justine Hand for a consultation (Justine\u2019s pitch-perfect cottage in Orleans, Massachusetts, is featured in our first book, Remodelista: Manual para el hogar considerado<\/em>). Justine is a genius with color, so the two pored over the Behr palette (which includes hundreds of options) and chose a watery pale blue\/green Behr River Mist for the walls, an all-purpose, can\u2019t-go-wrong Behr Linen White for the ceiling and trim, and a cheery, sunny Behr Bicycle Yellow for the closet interior.<\/p>\n

Above: Justine dreamed up a summery palette for the guest bedroom; the walls are painted in Behr\u2019s River Mist, a blue\/green shade that subtly references the shimmery Cape Cod coastline.

Above: For the closet, Justine recommended Behr\u2019s Bicycle Yellow to pick up on the yellow accents in the bedroom and to give the interior a cheerful feel.

Above: \u201cThe palette gives the room a luminous, glowy feel,\u201d Julie says.\u201d The quilt and patterned pillow cover are from Les Indiennes and the mustard linen throw pillow is from Hawkins NY.
\n

Above: Julie and Justine \u201cshopped\u201d the rest of the house and created a mini gallery wall over the bed using framed pieces.

Above: It\u2019s an old Cape Cod trick: Go beachcombing for a sculptural seashell to create an instant light pull.

Above: \u201cWe pruned the library, keeping only a few volumes, and added items collected from the rest of the house,\u201d Julie says. \u201cThe landscape study is by my daughter, who took a plein air painting class a couple of summers ago with my favorite artist, Rob DuToit.\u201d,

Above: The rocking chair is a flea market find and the vintage dresser came with the house; Julie painted it white a few summers ago. On the rocking chair: a stack of Les Indiennes sample fabrics Julie picked up at Summerhouse in Mill Valley, California.
