Abnormaly Thrifty: My Guest Bedroom Makeover
I have recently embarked on another project that I have been putting
away for so long .Since moving into our house 6 years ago , I havent paid attention to my guest room . We painted the whole house and neglected this little room. Right now its a dumping ground for things we dont use .. Now after finally after 6 years and graduating from nursing school , I'm ready to fix up my house and make it a home . We started by re-painting the living room , kitchen and living room . My guestroom is 12X13 (not so big ). I am thinking maybe a full size bed and a dresser (which i am am refurbishing ) .Because of the shape of the room , I cant put a chaise lounge like I wanted to . Upadate next >>>take a p

Guest room update
I have been working on the guest room for 3 weeks now , I have to say it turned out amazing . I didn’t have any color scheme or anything to decorate around with . I just wanted a nice and comfortable room. I found these amazing silk orchids at my favorite store (Goodwill) of course love the colors, the flowers are yellow and the color of the vase is just breathtaking, and there goes the inspiration…


This color scheme worked out perfectly and i used it through out the room . Today as I walked past my hall way wall pictures , I was almost out of breath !! i have had these pictures for over 5 years .I couldn't believe how these pictures and the orchids were a perfect match , check this out ....
AFTER
Look what i stumbled upon at the Thrft Store !!! A vintage looking phone ? i got those suitcases the same day just differnt stores , can you imagine my joy !!! This represents the guests being in the room with their luggage tucked away , love it and love the colors together .
The vintage phone will come in handy for room service .
Oh , and my night stand is a fish tank stand that i spray painted and the top is a door for my old china cabinet , the lamp is a basket that i painted and glued on a fringe .
My sister Pam made these curtains for me and have been using them in the master bedroom . They look much better . Love you Pam !!
Thats my dresser project , i just spray painted it , no before pictures unfortunately .when my husband saw this sitting in the back yard on 3 legs (you know he cussed right ) when he saw it in the room , he could not believe it was the same "thing" .This came with the headboard in the picture above .
I already had the outer frames and i purchased the inner ones from the Dollar Tree and just peeled out everthing ,I know they are not even thats why I have that thing laying on the bed , the outer frames were a boring natural looking color and I spray painted them black .
Here are the before and after pictures .
