The Guest Room

I'm going to be gone for the weekend so will leave you with some fun before during and after pictures of our guest room.

We're camping out in here (no hardship) until the crack room (master bedroom) is done.  At this rate that may be a year or more. 

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts!



That's floral wall paper and orange carpeting.


This is a quirky little window that is short but opens like a door onto the roof.  Hmmmm, a deck someday perhaps?

 
A little dark but you get the idea.

 
Those are the "before" pics




Wallpaper down and the carpets up.  Pretty floors underneath that have been sanded.


Bookcases and shutters removed.  Dan is doing a bang up job of making all the trim match.  No small chore there since there are several different kinds throughout the house.


Finished floors!




Because of the slope of the ceiling, Dan ran trim around the room to create some depth.  FYI, the ceiling portion is white and the trim is a lovely warm beige. 


Starting to feel so light and bright!


Pretty rug on the floor.  hard to see but there are some lovely golds and blues in there.

TA DA!


I bought those sheers at an estate sale for $4.00 a panel!  They were a steal!


A little plain yet but we're planning a headboard right now and hanging the pictures. BTW, the night stands were another estate sale find...$15.00 ea.  Lamps - T.J. Maxx $15.99 ea.  My God but I love a bargain!


It's coming along!


another view.


That goofy window all dressed up!


I adore this dresser set.  Got this at, you guessed it, an estate sale for $400.00!


Me and my lovely Dad.

That's the guest room!  I hope you enjoyed the tour.  Have a wonderful joy filled weekend!
Me?  I'll be finishing up the sheers for the living room, hemming drapes and getting ready for Thanksgiving.

  3. I have not visited for a while to see how the remodeling is going. First I want to say what a love picture of the two of you. You are such a beautiful couple! The remodel in the bedroom is amazing - especially the floor!!! Can't wait to see more. Have a very Merry Christmas!

    Hugs,

  4. Hey Kay!
    Thank you so much!
    I was thrilled to hear from a girlfriend that she thinks Dan and I "match".
    It just doesn't get better than that!
    Sending you warm and fuzzy Christmas wishes!
    Love,
    Linda
