Finally finished the guest room!!!












Keith and Drew painted the walls a gold color that I chose. I loved it on the swatch, but was pretty nervous about it since it was such an intense color. However, I absolutely love the way it turned out. The iron piece hanging over the bed used to hang over my bed in the Master Bedroom. The twin beds are put together to make a king size bed. I had the beds and headboards in the attic. I got the bedding and wicker tray from T.J. Maxx and the curtains and bedside tables from Marshalls. The desk, bulletin board, black dressers, and blinds, I brought down from the boys' old room. I touched up the dressers with a coat of black paint that I had in the garage. I found the chalkboard at Hobby Lobby (50% off). I got the silver desk lamp, the wooden lamp with the black lamp shade, and the 2 wooden vases (on clearance) at Target. I filled the vases with some styrofoam and moss and wrapped them in burlap ribbon. The sticks with lights in the 2 vases were from Big Lots. The 2 lamps on either side of the bed with burlap shades were from Walmart. We are officially ready for guests!!!

Pulling the guest room together! (Emma's old room)









Trying to pull together the guest room between summer travel and teaching swim lessons. It's a slow process, but having fun doing it. Moving Emma's room upstairs and redoing it and then moving the boys' old room/creating a guest room downstairs has been our summer project. I'll post pics when both rooms are complete. Drew helped Keith paint the room. He also hung the blinds and changed out the fan all by himself!!! Just need to hang the curtains, create a vignette for the tall dresser, and get a flat screen for the long chest of drawers and the room will be complete!

Emma's big girl room is finally done!!!






These pics were taken in the late afternoon. I'll try to take some in the morning or early afternoon when the room has more light. Emma loves her new room. Drew hung the white fan for me today. That was the last finishing touch. We moved her fan from her old room up here and the fan that was in here to the downstairs guest room.
