Guest Suite


The Guest Suite a small project I took on for a client. We were able to complete it in one weekend! We took various items from the clients existing collection and some furniture that was no longer being used. At first the client was not going to do anything because of cost. She came to me and said I have nothing to finish off that room. We then went into her basement and found everything she needed. A few things were new purchases. Some fresh paint, two round mirrors and some new pillows/bedding. We started with a fresh blank canvas for the walls! It is true what they say a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a room. Trim, Walls, and ceiling are covered in a great color brought to us by Sherwin Williams Lotus Pod. It is easy on the eyes, fresh and tranquil! What more could you want in a guest suite. Next we took two old end tables and gave them a new look by painting them. Next we topped the tables off with mirrors! Two round mirrors added to the top of the tables and reflects light into the room. The chairs flanking both sides of the bed are a great spot for reading or slipping your shoes on. The unused bench at the end of the bed helped create additional seating and viewing area for the wall mounted television. One of the best pieces in the room is the headboard once used by the home owner in their own master bedroom now found new life in the guest suite! They said they feel in love with the headboard all over again. Did I mention it was in a pile of items to be given to a local charity!!! So one weekend, fresh paint, in home finds and some creative thinking…well add that all up and you have the new Guest Suite!
