Guest Room Updates

The last I've left you with the guest room is this image from this post:



I've been (slowly) working on this room. I painted the room before Thanksgiving so my in-laws didn't have to stay in something that looked similar to our bedroom. I never really showed an "after", so here are some pictures of the bedroom now!



The paint is "Vintage Linen" by BEHR. It's a really great neutral.

It's been cold here in Charlotte and I didn't think the coverlet would be enough to keep my mom warm (she is cold natured as am I!) I added our summer duvet and then remembered I had these throw pillows in a box.



The throw pillows I purchased from Pottery Barn forever ago and I don't LOVE them.. but they work for now.

I DO love the light that this room gets!





Yesterday I was out Christmas shopping and spotted this beautiful mirror at Home Goods. It was in the clearance section for $15! It's capiz shell in a herringbone pattern. It was so pretty I just had to get it.. I told my husband it was a little Christmas present for myself :)



This is it's temporary spot, but I think it will stay in the guest room.

As you can see, I desperately need window treatments and lamps. I'm always keeping lamps for this room in the back of my mind, but so far I have not found any I like. As for window treatments, I think I will do a simple dark bamboo shade.

Later down the road a great headboard is in this room's future.

  5. it looks great. Isn't that one of the joys/frustrations of owning your house - there's always things that you want to do around the house which all require money! We always have a room that we're working on and just try to do a little at a time
