instead of my regular friday “loving…” post i thought i would do a post on our guest room. i still have a few more projects to finish in there, but it’s come such a long way from where it started. i am seriously embarrassed to show you the before picture. i’m going to do it anyway though because it makes the after look that much better. {please don’t judge my designing abilities by the before picture. this room was like the stepchild that i seriously neglected for a LONG time}
here is a picture after i painted my furniture and did some accessorizing. it still needed a lot of work though.
and here is what it looks like now. i love it! i still need to get some small nightstands and art and fix our headboard/frame (you can read about that here) but it’s so much better than before and the extra closet space is seriously a lifesaver.
i thought the before and after pictures would be good for this post. next week i’ll do a couple of tutorials to let you know how i diy’d it all.
i’m so ready for the weekend. we have friends coming into town and a wedding to go to. oh yeah, we are also going to a st. patty’s day festival on saturday and celebrating billy’s birthday one day early on sunday. needless to say we will be very busy but it will be a fun weekend!
...and how many times a day do you stand in the doorway and sigh?! It looks dreamy, lucky guests.

What a great window. Am I seeing it right: You built curtained closets on either side of the window so the headboard sit is a little niche. That is double clever: extra architectural interest and storage space in one project. This is where crown molding cutting was an issue?
ReplyDeleteHi, Cristi!
ReplyDeleteI've recently found your blog--I'm an Atlanta girl, too. :)
I love your disclaimer at the top of the post--ha! Clever storage solution and such a serene space now.
Love this!! It looks so welcoming now- so clean and fresh. Like a room I could move right in to :)
