Relaxing Guest Room

Every time I finish a room, I always say, “This is my favorite room”. Well the guest room is done and I have to say this is my favorite room =)

The color on the wall is Behr’s Dolphin Fin. It’s a light grey. In some lights it can look purple, green or blue but it is in face a true grey with no undertones. I did a lot of research on the perfect grey and Dolphin Fin became my choice!

I love how the room feels so clean. Everything is white. White linens, white furniture, white bed, white trim, white, white, white!

Yesterday Matt put up the new blinds and new ceiling fan and I put the finishing touches on it last night. I am still on the look out for the perfect curtains. I want to do something with a busy print since this room can pull it off. All the ones I have found so far are around $20-$25 a panel and I am not paying that!! 

I am on the look out for a rug as well, but I don’t want to spend very much. This will most likely be on the “want” list for a while unless I come across the perfect one at a great deal. A rug really isn’t necessary to complete the room. It still looks good without it!

I already had everything to decorate the room. All I bought was the basket hamper and 1 more bed pillow.

Only cost for this room was paint, ceiling fan and blinds.

The metal bed use to be my Mom’s bed when she was in high school. Then when I was in high school, it became mine. It has been every color you can imagine.

The desk was my desk when I was little. It got a new coat of white paint alone with the bed side tables.

 

The chair… man I love this chair. It actually has 4 others that match it and a table. It was suppose to be our new dining room table. My Mom got it at Denios swap meet after I convinced her that she needed it. I then took it in hopes of it being my new dining table. I love the design of the chairs. So vintage yet pottery barn at the same time. Well, the tables legs broke off and were beyond repair and my husband, who doesn’t share the same design style as me, said NO! So the table was recycled and I now have 5 chairs. I am suppose to get rid of those since they are taking up room in his garage but for some reason I just can’t bring myself to get rid of them. I love them. So, I may be spreading them out around the house!

 

I painted and hung 2 empty frames on either side of the window and then hung a white plate in each. I love white plates. Matt hates them. He says it’s to “shabby” for him. The guest room was my perfect opportunity to create my ideal room!

 

The lamps use to be oil rubbed bronze and black and the shades were red and brown. Didn’t fit into my color scheme! So I painted them. The lamps got a coat of semi-gloss white spray paint and the shades,well I just searched my craft paint and found the perfect color. Yes, I painted the fabric and it looks gooooood!!!

The white doors are the divider between the guest room and the craft room. I am going to paint those the same grey as the walls to help them blend. They are never shut so I didn’t realize what an eye sore it is! Well, at least to me they are.

Behind the door hangs an old window that has been passed back and fourth between my mom and I. I added a couple hooks to to the bottom of it and added a few more white plates =)

 

Once I showed my Mom the room, she said she had the perfect mirror to go above the desk. It works perfect! It is white and old and has a little flower design in the corners.

Next and final room… COHEN’S ROOM! and I have a feeling that is going to be my favorite room! =)
