I am pretty excited about our guest room. I wish I would have taken before pictures. This is what was in the room before:
A green plaid futon, a large bookcase, a large TV cabinet, the bottom of a hutch, and a few smaller tables. We made it work, but the room was kind of the room with everything we did not know what to do with. It was furniture I was not ready to part with yet either.
I did end up selling the TV cabinet but the rest we found uses for elsewhere.
I am also excited about this room because I managed to do it for under $150.00! That is the most fun part for me, finding things to reuse and getting great deals!
Here it is finished.....

| I was originally planning to buy a bed but decided to just leave the futon open. It now serves as a bed and the cost was FREE. No more green plaid! I had the sheets and pillows. I did buy the comforter, shams, and throw pillows. (all that for under $50.00 at Homegoods) The shutters were in our hallway downstairs, they were green. I spray painted them white and hung them for a headboard. FREE. |

The dresser was a flea market find for $30.00. I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint I already had. I also bought the mirror for $10.00 from an antique shop. I had everything else. **The wall color is BM Weekend Getaway. Fitting name for a guest room paint color! :)  This is my favorite part of the room. I love this little corner. I had the bird prints in my hallway next to the shutters. I like them in here better. The little table was a DYI project I did last year and I was not currently using it. The chair was a flea market find for $2.00. I painted it with Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Ironstone. |
This shelf has been with me for awhile. It was my grandma's and it is one piece I will not paint. I love this little shelf.

| I have had this table for over 20 years! I bought it for my foyer in our first home. I had found it at an antique shop. (I was not into antiques back then, but this table caught my eye) It was brown wood back then. When we moved I spray painted the table black and used it in various rooms. In this house it has been sitting in our basement. I decided it would work great as a bedside table. I painted it with the milk paint. Funny thing is when the paint started chipping off it took the black spray paint with it. I was so glad that happened, I would much rather see the original wood. Another FREE area. |
I had bought the flower prints for $1.00 each at the flea market. I bought $3.00 frames for them from Hobby Lobby. I had the milk glass lamp in the basement. I found it at a flea market and had not found a spot for it until now!
I had some heavy chocolate brown curtains in here. I sold them $15.00 and for a total of $19.99 for both I got these linen gray ones. (from Homegoods)
The bird prints on the left were in our dining room and I moved them in here. The chalk board was made out of a $3.00 antique window. I posted about the piano bench a few weeks ago. It was about $25.00.

| I am so happy with how this room turned out. For the first week I would just walk in and stare at it! :) I do that kind of thing a lot when I finish a new project! |
