OLD ROOM / NEW GUEST ROOM

I hope your week is going well.

Mine has been quite for a change and with lots of time to craft, sew and get myself into trouble. :)

For several weeks now I have been trying to create a guest room in our home, so today I am sharing with you 
what I got so far.

As you all know, our oldest son got married, had a baby and they moved in their new home last Spring. 
Before that, his room sat empty the whole five years he was in Navy and he only used it when he came home on leave. This is what his room looked like.

And although the kids still stay in this room when they can come home some weekends, I decided to change it into a guest room. Reality is that unless his wife throws him out of the house for misbehaving, he won't have a need for a room in our home anymore. LOL

This is what the room looks like now.

I looked for a comforter set for a while. Didn't want to spend a small fortune to make these changes.

One day I went to Ross looking for a basket and came home with no basket and new bedding for this room. 
It was a ten piece set for $34.99. It even included a queen size coverlet and I loved the embroidery details.

 Could not leave it behind!

Later on, one day browsing online, I found out it was a Macy's closeout and the original price for this set was $320.00.

Little by little, the room started to come together.

I added a small sitting area by the window using a small round table, a pretty lamp from Kirklands and the old 
wing back chair we reupholstered using drop cloth. 

You can see that post here. The chevron pillow cover I bought at Hobby Lobby for $2.00.

 

The drapes I also bought at Kirklands. They are really good quality and the color is beautiful in person.

 On the other side of the room I kept his media cabinet since it also has a lot of large drawers to store clothing.
On the empty spaces designed for other electronic devices, I added two basket I already had and which they fit perfectly. They have proven to be very useful to drop off keys, cell phones, etc...

I didn't know how to decorate the wall over the bed, I looked around for a while but nothing caught my eye.
At the end, I asked my husband to build me a small window using two fence boards we had in the garage.

I painted it using Heirloom White, made a small "Home" sign to place over it with the leftover piece of the fence boards and added a small boxwood wreath for a pop of color.

And that is all I have done until now.
I don't know if I will make any changes, you all know how that is, :) but for now I am enjoying the new look.

I want to thank you for your visit and comments.
They mean the world to me! Thank you!

I just finished last week decorating our family room for Spring, so I will be back to share the new look as soon as 

I can get all the pictures ready.

Until then!
