Room Tour: Guest Room!

BEFORE:

After:

(Bedspread is a patchwork quilt made from vintage indonesian fabrics.)

(We made a little reading nook/fort with lots pillows, a reading light, and a cozy mat)

(Wings are from Creative Co-op, dresser is from my home decor line with Creative Co-op, and chaise is a hand-me-down)

These aren’t the very best photos, but it shows the progress of our newly remodeled guest room! I love love love this room and I find myself here often, working on the chaise, playing on the bed with True, or getting some quiet time. This project has a been a couple of years in the making and so glad to be enjoying it now! With the completion of this room our little two bedroom bungalow has managed to squeeze in four bedrooms which friends, feels like a whole lotta space. Grateful, indeed.

I am also learning the art of mixing patterns. A lot of patterns. And I have to say, I’m kind of digging it. As long as the colors coordinate, patterns can be mixed. That’s my new rule 🙂

Also, the color on these walls is the same that we have in our bedroom – Palladium Blue by Benji Moore (Best Color Ever!)

That's the most beautiful guest room I've seen. Ever!
If you said you had a waiting list of friends and family lining up to stay with you, I'd believe you!!
