Guest Bedroom Update

We did a little more work on the ol’ guest bedroom this past week-end. 

It is still not complete but we are working our way there…baby steps…

We added the chair (read about it here).  We also hung some curtains and a mirror.  The curtains are from Target ($20 for the pair).  The mirror I found at a garage sale back home ($8).  Simple changes (minus the chair…NOT simple) that really warmed up the room.

Are you sick of the yellow chevron chair yet? I didn’t think so. I would like to clear something up.  The chair is totally safe to sit it…and mighty comfy.  I did use pins in an awesome upholstering job but you would have never known had I not told you…I swear.  Super comfy…super thick foam.  No stab wounds reported. Yet… :P

This room has come a long ways in the past few months…(read more about our progress here)

Excuse the wrinkly duvet cover. I didn’t realize how wrinkly it was until I uploaded the pictures…and now it’s dark. I have no idea how it got so wrinkly…

Makes you want to spend the night, huh?  Luckily he’s cute..

We still plan to add a gallery wall (on the big blank wall) and crown molding.  I would also like to get a cheap (priced cheap, not cheap looking) chandelier to replace the boob light.  Yes, Mom, I wrote boob light.

Do you think I should wash that duvet cover before my parents come for the week-end? ;)

  3. Oh my goodness, you just HAD to call it a boob light, didn't you? Now that's all I'll ever be able to think of when I see one of those light fixtures. But other than hardly being able to tear my eyes away from the ceiling boob, I love this room! It looks amazing! Your chair is just incredible, and I love the little touches of yellow. So pretty!

  4. LOL! I call it a boob light too, lol! Ikea has a cute not over-the-top chandelier for like $40. I have one in a box waiting for me to get off my tail & hang it. I love Ike!

  11. Great update! That chair adds such an awesome vibe!

    I've been dreaming about replacing our boob lights too. I saw a bee skep at the antique store the other day and I can't quit thinking about how one would turn it into a pendant light. Too bad my electrician husband won't help me figure it out... ;)
