Long-awaited Before & After Guest Room Pictures!

This is the guest room (it's downstairs, the other bedrooms are upstairs) as it was when we moved in:
Guest Room - BEFORE

We stripped the wallpaper, moved some walls and the door, painted, laid laminate flooring, bought a new bed, put in a fan/light fixture, and bought curtains and sheets.
Guest Room - AFTER

The room is slightly smaller now because we made a mini-hallway so the guest room door and bathroom door are across from each other (previously both were in the hallway which is the width of a door, but we will eventually be removing most of the living room wall that makes that narrow hallway, and we didn't want the bathroom door straight off of the living room). The only thing we have left to do now is add some things to the walls so they aren't quite so bare.

We were going to put in a closet where the wardrobe is, but it's Frederic's grandparents' wardrobe and we decided it looked nice there in the end, now that it has its own little niche and isn't just standing on a flat wall. We may still put closet doors someday, especially if we decide to use it as our room later on, but that's not in the plans for the immediate future.

Now that you've seen it, we'll be waiting on your e-mails and phone calls to let us know when you're coming to visit!

Alright, now that it's done, we'll be there tomorrow. It looks good, can you come fix up my house, too?

You should always hang onto wardrobes like that in case they turn out to be secret passages into other worlds.
