When we first looked at our house I loved the master suite but complained about how small the other bedrooms were. Especially the guest bedroom since I knew we’d be putting a queen size bed from my apartment into that tiny little space. I wasn’t sure how I was going to make that work and didn’t even try at first. I just threw an old spread on the bed and called it a day. Doesn’t it look so sad and uninviting…
To keep from having to store yet another blanket I chose a duvet cover. I love those things!

When I saw this lamp I just had to have it but there was only one (it’s so beautiful at night and compliments the duvet cover nicely). When I saw the pair of nightstands I just had to have them too but I was on a budget, of course. Quite the dilemma right?!? So I got the lamp and one nightstand, duh Nicole (I know no one says that any more, but whatever), the room is small. It ended up being perfect :)! I then filled it with a couple of towels, wash cloths and soap for the guest(s).
My hubby always knows how to score some points with me. When I revealed the room to him he goes…”Babe, you did a really great job with this room, you should do this for a living!” Awww, isn’t he sweet? But he’s definitely reaching with that one…you’ve got to love a man who compliments like that though :)!
I consider this room complete with the exception of the closet. I think if I were to add anything else to the actual room I would run the risk of crowding the space. Therefore, I plan to transform the closet by removing the doors and adding a small desk for my sewing machine / crafts and mount a small flat screen TV. I can’t wait to get started and reveal that project…so stay tuned!!!
Oh, you did a fantastic job!!~
Your guests will be impressed. 🙂
Aww, thanks a bunch Sophi! So far everyone has LOVED it!
Ir's great, beautiful and welcoming. Be there in a few weeks to test it out lol 🙂
Soooo, my guest room looks a lot like your Before shot. I've been neglecting that poor, tiny space. This might be just the inspiration I need to pretty it up. LOVE the duvet and the pops of orangey red. You definitely created a fresh, classy space!
That's so awesome Tori, I'm so glad to have inspired! I can't wait to see your before and after pictures once you dress up your guest room too. Thanks so much for your kind words. Take care :)!!!
I think you did an excellent job. I love the clean colour..looks really bright and airy.
