Sneak Peak of the Plans for our Guest Room

The blue room in our house is finally getting adressed! We barely ever go in here right now and it’s used for storage for camping gear and other things (like my wedding dress that’s been hanging in here for almost a year…). We desperately need to get on top of our storage. The closets in this house are small and maxed out. We also would love to have a room for guests to stay with us! The plan for this room should address both of those needs. This is the picture of the room from the original listing:

Dark blue paint, wallpaper ceiling border, and old carpet. Last summer I removed all of the carpet in here to reveal original hardwood floors:

We had our floors professionally refinished in October (read that blog here) and this room quickly filled up, see below how it looks now. Yikes!

I am so ready to tackle this room. We’re not doing anything crazy, just paint and new furnishings but I think the transformation is going to be stunning! We’ll be painting the walls a gray white (Snowbound by Sherwin Williams) and the trim will be a slightly contrasting gray (Repose Gray by Sherwin Williams). This is the same colors we painted the living room!

This is my mood-board so far for the guest room! I am going for neutral, cabin-cozy vibes. I’ll be adding some things I already own to this plan as well, like a vintage luggage rack. I’ll be starting this weekend and hopefully it will be a straightforward project! I can’t decide if I want to keep and repaint the window shutters or remove them completely. What do you think?

  1. Plaid Curtain Panel Light blocking and cozy cabin vibes
  2. Mushroom Wicker Lamp this whimsical lamp is so sweet
  3. Storage Cabinet we’ll be using this for camping organization! Great dupe of the Studio McGee cabinet at target
  4. Ikea Photo Frame classic black frames for a great price
  5. Pine Art I’ve been waiting to use this print in the house
  6. Woman Reading Art
  7. Loloi Area Rug
  8. Duvet Cover I’ve bought alot of duvets from Ikea over the years and they’re usually great quality!
  9. Schoolhouse Light I love the pop of gold on this vintage inspired light
  10. Black Side Tables made of wood & metal
  11. Bedside Fan every bedroom needs a fan!
