King Guest Bedroom Reveal

Room Makeovers + Design Plans

I have never done an official “reveal” for this room for whatever reason. Probably because I don’t feel like I’ve ever finished it. So, I think the time has come to show you the progress so far. As long as nobody points out that there is a still a Christmas carol on the chalkboard. I’ll get around to filling it in with an Easter hymn – hopefully by summer. πŸ˜‰

As a side note, I’ll be doing an “official” post on how I achieved those perfectly striped walls using FrogTape in a follow-up post. So stay tuned!

Now, on to the pretty pictures!

But first a trip down memory lane. Here is the room shortly after we moved it. It didn’t start changing much until last July.

You may recall my first design board here, and my latestΒ {below} after I felt like the room was just off with the original plans. I then shared a few updates once I had the stripes painted and again around Christmas time when I added a few festive touches and then in JanuaryΒ when I added the art.

Here are a few more shots of the space. I still need to make the other two Euro shams {they’ve been cut-out for months} and decide what to cover the bolster pillows in. I also haven’t decided if I should hem the bottom of the drapes or allow them to pool. You can see I opted to use a mirror I had on hand in lieu of the Z Gallerie one I wanted in the inspiration photo. I also opted out of the green accents {other than the boxwoods} but they may still be part of the picture down the road. I’m still undecided. I will also need to paint all the doors, window trim and door trim {I completed the baseboards} in the Behr Swiss Coffee like the rest of the house. I’ll honestly say that this room no longer feels 100% my style, but I do really like how it came together.

Source List for the room:
Bedspread: Target
Nightstands: Home Decorators {a few years old}
Mercury Glass Lamps: Hancock Fabric {old}
Bed: Z Gallerie {old}
Chandelier: Costco {old}
Mirrored Frame: Threshold for Target
Good Thoughts Art: Oh My Deer Etsy shop
Gold Sun Mirror: Garden Ridge {old}
Paint colors: Behr Swiss Coffee and Behr Dolphin Fin – stripe post
Ribbon-trimmed Drapes: DIY – full tutorial coming Wednesday
Pillow – DIY with Schumacher Chenonceau in Charcoal – I have several yards of this for my next fabric sale!
Chalkboard Art: DIY project from poster frame

Check in on Wednesday when I share how I made the Pottery Barn inspired ribbon drapes as part of the latest Look For Less challenge. So easy and such an affordable alternative to the originals!

    This room looks beautiful! I totally just took our Deck The Halls off our chalkboard in our kitchen last week and put an Easter one up too. There might have even been two wreaths on our windows left over from Christmas til yesterday too!!!

    This room is absolutely gorgeous! (and at least your Christmas decor is indoors — some of our neighbors still have a Christmas garland and silk poinsettias in their yard. lol)
