Our guest room is on the main floor, and although it is still a work in progress I love it dearly. I think I love it so much because it is the one room in the house that rarely gets messy since we hardly ever use it. Some people might say that is a waste of a room, especially in such a tiny house, but not me! I get so much enjoyment from walking by and seeing it sitting there peacefully, waiting for our occasional overnight guests.
Of course it is not perfect. There are a few problems still waiting to be addressed... probably the most significant would be it's lack of a door. We do provide our guests with a curtain, but I'm sure that they would prefer a real door!
Here is what the room looked like when the previous owners were here.
My husband had just finished our kitchen renovation and I was not expecting him to want to do any renovations for awhile. One day I got home and to my amazement he was working away on the room. He knew it was important to me to have a nice place for our guests. He did all the work on our house in his evenings and weekends off after his real job.
An old stool with chipping paint from Kijiji.
The iron bed is from Ikea. The bedding is from thrift stores and Ikea. I think the easiest way to shop thrift stores is to have a color pallette in mind. I looked for any vintage bedding with blue in the pattern. Eventually I found enough to coordinate together.
I have some plans for this old shutter but right now it is just leaning against the wall.
Here is a before and after:
I hope you like it!
