Guest Bedroom: Before and After

We still lack:
- a light fixture
- new bedding
- curtains.
We will get to those when we get to them. No big rush at this point.

What we did:
- moved some walls and the door
- stripped the wallpaper
- painted the room a color called "linen" (off-white)
- gave the ceiling a fresh coat of white paint
- put laminate flooring down on top of the ugly tile
- got a new bed frame, nightstands, and lamps.

We intended for the spot where the wardrobe is to be a closet, but in the end decided the wardrobe looked nice there, so it is staying until further notice.

BEFORE:
guest room - before
guest room - before

AFTER:
guest bedroom after

Next on the agenda: finishing the bathroom, but that will have to wait until after vacation!

Alisa-I can't believe I've stumbled onto your blog! (From Kelly's blog that I also stumbled upon...). I knew you were living in France and had married a Frenchman, and it so wonderful to see you are well with a beautiful little boy. I pray is treating you well. Blessings,
