A Guest Room Makeover
School Holidays mean one thing in our house…..VISITORS!
As most of our family live miles away, school holidays are the perfect time for a grandparent visit. We are very lucky to have a spare bedroom which is the allocated guest room. Unfortunately, as it is a room used only occasionally, it has been a little neglected on the decorating front.
Oh the Before picture is very sad. Although I had found quite a nice “comforter” a while ago it didnt come with any pillowcases or cushions. I convinced myself when I bought it that I would eventually find some that matched. I ummed and ahhed over what colours would match together and my inability to make any decisions equated to…. eventually never coming!
Whilst browsing Target (for something completetly unrelated) I found this “6 Piece Bed Pack”. It was the same price it was going to cost me to buy pillowcases and cushions to match the existing comforter (On sale for $60) and it was COMPLETE! No matching or decision making required!
Until now I had been put off buying quilt covers and had instead gone for a comforter simply because I hate trying to make lumpy beds.
Finally someone (surely a woman) has had the good sense to put ties on the quilt that can be tied to the cover. No more lost and lumpy quilt!
The bedside table was replaced with a tray table that we had downstairs gathering junk and dust.
Some favourite magazines, a cute owl plate to keep jewellery, tickets or your phone and a simple white bowl with some Cath Kidston Bath Products. ALL BOUGHT ON SALE!
With some new bedding, a refresh of the bedside table and repurposing some artwork from around the house we have given the Guest Room a whole new lease of life.
Now she just needs some visitors!
