Guest Room Makeover, Before and After

For review: Ikea Chair Makeover, Pillows and Lamps, Curtains and Shelving.

So here is what our guest room looked like before:

And here is what our guest room looks like now, from the hallway:

And from right inside the door:

That Van Gogh print above the bed was the inspiration for the colors: yellow, green, and blue.  We still need to get it framed.  But you would not believe how expensive it is to frame something that big (24x32).

And the view from the Ikea Chair.  Isn't the fan beautiful?  The AC doesn't work so well...

Of course, it's not done yet (things are never done. I'm always re-doing something!).  At some point, we're going to get Jamey's bedroom furniture from Alabama (it's just a pain - rent a van and drive back, when we're only there a few days at a time already?) so there will be an actual bed frame, and a dresser, and a desk.  Then I can have my sewing machine out all the time, and I won't have to pull it out of the closet and set it up on the dining room table to make curtains, pillows, and chair covers!

Now you have to come and visit us!  Seriously...we love guests.  Our lives get pretty routine without them (work, run, eat, watch TV, rinse, repeat).
