This was not an easy 6 weeks and I am not going to sugarcoat it. There were a lot of late nights, long weekends and some mishaps, but it was all worth it because I now have the room I envisioned. I stayed true to my design plan and I am so happy with how our guest bedroom turned out! How about I show you around...come on in.
A gold spray painted tray is a beautiful way to corral essentials and goodies to welcome guests.
The night table is one of my favorite roadside finds.
You can read how I refinished it in this post How to Remove Wood Veneer from Wood Furniture
The bottom shelf is a good spot for towels
I spray painted the consignment shop art frame navy blue. A yard sale chair sits in the corner and is a comfy spot to sit and read
I purchased the compass wall art at the Christmas Tree Shop.

Most of our budget went toward the materials to fix this room. I had very little left for the decor, so I decided to use my creative side and make my own art to hang on the walls.
I made this frame out of a cabinet door and placed one of my photographs inside. Here is the link Simple Repurpose of Cabinet Doors Into Frames
The bedside lamps are desk lamps purchased at Walmart from the BHG collection
ALSO
I purchased the cotton area rugs at Home Goods

Throw blanket TJ Maxx
Another purchase I made is the oblong decorative bird pillow purchased at Walmart from the BHG collection.

I fell in love with the marble plant stand that I purchased at a consignment shop. As you can see it makes for a great nightstand for tight spaces.

I couldn't be more happy with the way the room turned out! It is everything I envisioned plus more. Here are some before shots...I'd say this room came a long way... wouldn't you?
