The BEFORE........
The Man wasn't too sure about doing twin beds in here, but I won that argument.
Now the AFTER.
I always knew I wanted a more pastel pallet in this room. The paint color is Bamboo by Behr. For the duvets, I used good quality cotton sheets - a soft aqua for the top & white for the bottom. I did a button closure, using large white buttons. We bought the comforters, the crewel stitchery feather pillows, lampshades & 4-cube Expedits all at IKEA. The bedskirts are a very simple pintuck style that I found at Bed Bath & Beyond.
Some of the wall decor.
I really wanted this room to reflect our feelings about family & memories, so I chose to use lots of sentimental keepsakes for the decor in here.
We had the lamps in our previous home, but they were mounted on the wall in our master. The Man came up with the brilliant idea of mounting them on either side of the Expedit, which I'm so pleased with. I will probably add some trim or a pleated ruffle to the lower edge of the shades to make them just a bit longer.
(1) I haven't done much with the display shelf in this room, but I've added a few little things.
(2) These books were a give-away from Kim @ My Domestic Bliss quite some time ago, but I love 'em.
(3) Another Expedit (thanks IKEA)! The 2 baskets are empty so overnite visitors can have a place to
stash things.
(4) And what guest room is complete without nice cuddly robes.....once again, IKEA!
Well, that about wraps up the tour of our guest room. It's cozy with comfy beds & bedding, & it's located on the opposite side of our home from the master, making it very private for everyone. I hope you enjoyed the tour & will come back soon.
