    House Tour: Guest Room

    Welcome to our guest room…

    Our new upholstered bed! You'd never know it was this cheap - love it!

    Sources are linked below:

     

    Living close to New York City, we get a lot of guests (which we love!) so I decorated our guest room in textured neutrals to create a relaxing haven for our friends and family to stay in while at our house. Here’s how the room looked when we first moved in – yikes! 

    Guest Room Before

    I did several DIY projects when making over this space, including transforming a boring IKEA TRYSIL chest into this fabric covered beauty (you can find my IKEA hack tutorial {here}):

    IKEA Trysil Chest transformed into a high-end fabric-covered dresser I added new roman shades to our large guest room window:

    that are a big improvement from the balloon valences that were here when we moved in:

    The other end of our guest room has a little nook where we placed the living room love seat from our old house and a pair of metal drum tables:

    and some paint, new hardware, and some modifications on the inside, turned it into a wardrobe armoire for our closet-less guest room:
