Here is the bed for the guest bedroom. The one thing I am not crazy about is the color of the padded headboard. I might be changing that. As I said before we gave my granddaughter the other bedroom set. It was called the Jungle room because it had leopard print, elephants, giraffes, etc. The kids always enjoyed staying in this room. You can tell how outdated it was due to the big box tv and wallpaper border. It was time for a change..
After
My husband painted the room. Some of the photos look darker, however it is a lighten shade on the walls. New comforter set, new lamps plus new furniture.
The nightstands match. I know some designers suggest to not match, however this is our home and I don't keep up with the trends. I like symmetry.
My Mom's photo sits in a white and gold frame on a nightstand along with an angel. As I stated in another post, this bed design is the very same bed my mom had purchased for her new home. Unfortunately I could not get her bed, so I purchased a new one.
Do you shop your home? The curtains were in our living room, so for now I am using them in this guest bedroom. I am on the hunt for new living room curtains.
The tray is something I used in another room.
The comforter is Sandstone by J Queen of New York.
The throws I had, so I draped one over the chair and another one at the end of the bed. The picture of the orchids is something I had. The throws pillows I also had.
Now we have two guests rooms that are got makeovers. This guest bedroom and then the bling room below. I suppose I should give this guest room a name. When Lilly visits for a week, we both sleep in the bling room and talk between watching the tv show, I Nailed It!

Linda, the changes look very calming and inviting. You and Paul did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie. Paul did a great job painting.
DeleteLinda it is beautiful. I love it all. The white distressed furniture is so pretty and I love the fluffy white chair. I would come and never leave your pretty guest room. Oh well maybe leave the room to float in the pool lol! Great job. love it. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Kris. it is more calming now. My son and his wife were the very first guests.
DeleteYou are always welcome to visit and float in the pool, of course when it's hot. xoxo
I don't think I would ever be elegant enough to come to your beautiful home and be ensconced in such a gorgeous room! It's truly beautiful, Linda, and your guests will feel like the Queen! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOf course you are Jeanie. Thank you very much. Happy guests are the best.
DeleteI love the way the guest room came out Linda. I like the bed, furniture, and those pretty lamps. It all came together nice. I used to have my bathroom (a long time ago) in the jungle theme. It's so nice to redo and get the house updated! I know your guests will love it too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie. I want our guests to feel comfortable. Yes, updating is sometimes needed. I love the change.
DeleteI love it all Linda. Looks so beautiful. AWESOME job girl. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Cindy. I am glad it is done. Time for another project. Hugs
DeleteVery, very elegant! I especially like those beautiful new bedside lamps!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debra. I love the lamps, my husband kept saying they look Asian.
DeleteI like both the before and and after! But the new rendition is gorgeous! Your guests will feel like royalty.

Thank you Michelle. I loved the jungle look, but grew tired of it.
DeleteLinda, it is very pretty. Quite a difference and that makes for a nice change. Are you still planning on changing the color of the headboard? How will you do that? It seems that would be a hard job, for me anyway!! I painted some patio cushions with chalk paint and finished them with clear wax. They came out really well and had a beautiful texture and held up also..Stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy. As for the headboard fabric, I have seen some awesome tutorials for painting fabric. Some padded headboards with chalk paint. I just want to lighten it. xoxo
DeleteSuper job on the remodel. I love both guest bedrooms, and the chair is over the top perfect! :D I would love to have one just like it! I like the cute bling room, too, especially the chandy.
ReplyDeleteI also like the bed as is. I like the fabric just in case you're conducting a survey, LOL!
Thanks so much Ricki. It all depends on how ambitious I am...LOL
DeleteI think the paint job makes it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely
DeleteSi hay lago que me gusta es redecorar las habitaciones, con el tiempo todo nos cansa y además las modas cambian, por lo que nos tenemos que actualizar, para lo cual yo estoy siempre dispuesta. Te ha quedado una acogedora habitación, actual y relajante, felicidades. Un beso
ReplyDeleteLinda, this looks really good. I think the way you shopped your home and the new items you chose look even better than the original picture from the website. This would be my choice room to stay in! Love that view out the window too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rita. I love how fresh it looks. Two different looks for our guest bedrooms.
DeleteI would like it for me:)The shape of the bed is beautful.
ReplyDeleteLove your mom's pic:)
Thank you Monique. It was definitely something my mom loved.
DeleteLove how the change is quiet and calming, perfect timing. The bed is beautiful Linda, I see why your mom loved it. So sweet you purchased the same design. Also, the bedding is gorgeous and looks beautiful in the room. You did a great job Linda!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Emily. Quiet and calming is so nice. It feel like my mom’s room since she loved this bed.
DeleteLinda, what a beautiful and peaceful guest room, I love the makeover! Shopping one’s house is always a good idea and smart. Any guest would be happy to stay in this lovely room!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. I love shopping my home. Sometimes we forget what we have.
DeleteLooks wonderful Linda! Love the up close picture of the bedding and the new lamps. Cozy and comfortable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz. I looked quite awhile for lamps. The bedding is lovely and also gives the room a nice comfortable feeling.
DeleteSuch beautiful rooms!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful makeover, Linda! You've created such a lovely retreat. I love all your creative touches. That chair is outstanding...and I agree, trends are overrated. It's your house and I think your matching tables look very elegant.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, following trends can be so costly. I like to put my own touches in our home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous makeover, Linda! I love the furniture, the comforter, and all the pretty details, like the tray, cherubs and picture of your mom and sister. The bling room is gorgeous, too. I’d be happy to stay in either one.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did in your guest room. I especially like the lamps with the rectangular shades.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully. I like symmetry, too, and go with what I like rather than follow trends. xo Diana
