Guest Room Sneak Peek

Happy Friday!   I’ve been a busy girl the last couple of weeks.   We went to Ikea in Atlanta last week to buy the items I needed for the guest room, only to find out they were out of stock!   Although the Ikea web site indicated they were in stock and had been for 2 weeks!    So, I had to come up with Plan B on the spot.    Luckily, I was able to pick up everything I needed and still stay with “the look” I was copying going for.

Just as a reminder, here’s the room I fell in love with at the Southern Living Idea house that inspired this make over:

I’m just going to tease you a little bit for now because the curtains are not hung and I have not made the headboard yet nor hung a gallery wall.    Also, I haven’t decided on what I’m going to do with the chest and bookcase so until then, this is all you’ll get to see….

 

The sheet set I ordered should be delivered today so I can properly make the bed then.   

I mentioned to husband that I wanted to do a plank wall behind the headboard but really didn’t get a response so I’ll take that as a “yes”!   I’m going to call our carpenter friend to come over and see what he can do about that.     On our way back from Atlanta, hubby had me call our painter to come paint the bedroom last weekend….apparently he didn’t want to spend the weekend painting!

 

Anyone else feeling a little fall-ish?    The temps here are a little more bearable….not so much humidity.    So I went out to Michael’s this week and picked up some fall items to incorporate in the den.     Once I get those out, I’ll be sure to share.

We’re heading to Birmingham tomorrow for the joint birthday parties of my two grandchildren that live there.    One will be 2 and the other 7!    They are 5 years and 5 days apart!   

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
