Progress in the Guest Room

A couple of months ago we took our scary storage/ workout room….

…And turned it into a guest room.  We started by tearing out the drop ceilings & then having the walls & ceiling re-drywalled.  A closet door  was also added to hide the massive storage closet/ understairs storage.  We took our old guest room and turned it into another office for me & my assistant, Meghan.  (We are still waiting for our furniture to arrive in the office but I’ll post pics when we’re finished!)
The guest room is pretty much a hodgepodge of things we already had, with the only new item being the linen curtains I had made out of my new Thistle fabric.  I used the vintage wooden dresser I found a while back & truth-be-told, it’s stuffed with off-season clothes.  My wooden lady (who is super-heavy) makes me happy:
We’re still missing one of the most important elements in the room- the headboard!!- so I have to warn you that the pics really don’t look that great, but I’m excited about the progress we’ve made & wanted to share.  (The pics are also really grainy- sorry!!!)  It’s a very tiny room so just room for a bed with a small trunk at the end.  (Which I couldn’t even fit into a picture)  I used white/cream bedding we already had & have been having fun layering the bed with different quilts to suit my different moods.  Right now I wanted sort of a Fallish-Bohemian feeling so I used a couple of old vintage quilts.  Here’s a blurry pic I snapped of the half unmade bed this morning:
{The quilts are vintage and the 2 boudoir pillows are in a Peter Dunham linen}
I used my favorite pair of massive glass lamps on either side of the bed & was able to just fit in our pedestal table along with the dresser:
{The window isn’t centered in the room so we had to go with two totally different sizes of end tables…  Since we were using pieces we already had, the pedestal table is a bit shorter than I’d like so I raised the lamp up with some books to make it more even with its mate.}
I have a collection of old mushroom prints on one wall and wooden printers’ trays that the boys & I are working on filling with natural objects on the other, so I’ll be sure to share overall pics when we’re “finished.”  I’m planning on doing a headbaord upholstered in warn oatmeal linen that will stop right at the window sill.  I’m debating on on its shape because I am still to excited over my curtains to cover them up too much with a straight headboard so it will either be rounded or I’ll cut out the corners.
Here’s a close-up of the curtains in Thistle in Sepia & I’m pretty excited to see them in there:
{I chose them because I could mix them with just about any colors I wanted when my moods change}
Anyway, I’ll share more when there’s more to see.  I hope you liked it & that you’re having a great week!!  I also took a few more photos the other day of one of our most recent installs & will be sure to share.  My client’s bedroom turned out beautifully & is really different from this one, so I’ll try to post soon.

xoxo, Lauren
