Fantasy Retreat

With its creamy white walls, soaring peaked ceiling (painted an amazing shade of sky blue), and enormous view window overlooking vast vistas of the mountains and lake, the guest bedroom gives you the sense that you're part of the sky. "It's like being in a cloud," says designer Linda Woodrum.

"I knew instantly the blue ceiling would be the only color for this room," says Woodrum, who chose Sherwin-Williams' "Blissful Blue" for the ceiling as well as the walls in the attached full bathroom. The paint color changes with the light, depending on the time of day, the weather, and the seasons unfolding outside. "This room has the best view in the house," Woodrum says, "and I loved how it's so connected to the sky."
