Don’t worry, you didn’t miss week 7!

The room was actually completed a week early. I just didn’t have time to get the final post up.

So, if you are ready, here we go! Let me show you the elegant guest room reveal.

Let’s just say I love how it turned out! As with every makeover, I just keep looking at it.

Let me know what your favorite part is. I think you can probably tell mine.

Hint! It’s the closet doors! 😀

You may see the closet door post here.

Oh, and the light fixture!!!

I will try to link as much as possible at the end.

Okay, okay! I know! Get on with it!

Let’s start with the before photos.

It had become a dumping ground, so it is pretty bad…

This was after a bunch of junk was already taken out

You can see the closet doors before in this one

I think clearing out and cleaning was the hardest part and took the longest.

If you remember this was the plan for this room…

• Clear out the miscellaneous junk
• Deep clean top to bottom
• Paint ceiling, walls, baseboards, closet doors 
• Wallpaper or paint closet
• Paint the bed frame (bought a new one)
• Makeover secondhand dresser that I previously painted black
• Replace mattress
• Replace wood blinds
• Some kind of curtains
• Replace fan with light fixture (will have table fan)
• Replace rug
• Pretty basket for guest essentials
• Maybe a mini mini fridge?
• Cozy and plush pillows and bedding
• Art for the walls
• Full length mirror 
• Plush towels

Everything on the list was completed, with the exception of painting the headboard. It wasn’t worth saving. Bought a new one. See what happened to it here.

Are you ready for all of the after photos?

I’m so excited to show you!!

I will start at the door and go around the room…and then I will do some close ups…

Sweet Dolli was and is my constant shadow. I think it wore her out as much as it did me.

The Quilt Here and It’s On Sale!

And look at that light fixture! I keep going by and turning it on just to admire it’s beauty.

This one is with a different quilt.

Which one do you like the best?

This is a patio chair that I painted the legs gold and put a throw over.

Painted this dresser white and added a brushed pearl finish on top. Then added those sweet daisy knobs.

Now, we are back where we started.

How about some closeups of a few details?

Closet door detail

Full length door mirror and a tassel on the door knob.

The dresser my friend gave me that is the exact same style as the one that was already in this room. It is just smaller. I didn’t even realize it until I was putting new knobs on them.

A luggage rack wasn’t on the original list. I think it is a nice addition.

I hung some extra blankets and throws in this closet too.

Dolli again. She loves this rug!

I put one of those cute tassels on the dresser too.

A fan just in case…

How adorable is this pink fridge?

I bought this little towel and snack stand years ago with this exact thing in mind! So happy it looks exactly like I thought it would.

Fluffy new towels and washcloths! Some black washcloths for makeup removal.

My new favorite vacuum! I need to do a whole post on it later.

Step out of bed on a fluffy white rug.

The closet had a bare light bulb. I found this pretty light cover that just slips on the bulb.

Then added a pretty pull.

One last one…

Me… Happy it is done!!

Let me know your favorite part.

I did get new pillows. Some that are soft and feather like and some that are foam and a bit firmer. Thanks to a comment from a sweet reader.

Are there any guest room must haves I forgot?

Shop The Post

It looks like the pink diamond tufted bed is no longer available. I linked another pink tufted headboard for the same look.

And this is the chair – I painted the legs gold on mine and my store sold the chairs and table separately. Isn’t this the cutest set though?

And I Finally Found the Floral Quilt Link
