MINI FACELIFT FOR A GUEST BEDROOM

Guest room clean out and mini face lift! This room was neglected. It needed a little TLC.

I took pics in bits since I wasn't able to capture the whole room with all the light from the window.

Create an interesting focal point on one side since the bed rests on one wall as in this case. Also the room is small so a nightstand on either side of the bed was not going to happen.

Monochrome color pallet of beiges, olives, tans with hints of wine red were used.

I bought this oil painting for the wall but floor worked just fine.

The vintage pebble mini stool is a collectible more for outdoor than indoor.

An up close of the lamp, don't you just love the base? The light from the window is a bummer though. A book on the nightstand is also a great idea if the guests are readers.

The bed all made up.

End of post, your guests will sure enjoy their stay.

DIY: HOW TO GIVE LIGHT & LIFE TO A LAMPSHADE

Designing a room doesn't have to cost you $$$. You can actually design on a dime. Today I did a lampshade that had a nice base but the shade itself was errr....getting boring. This small change can give your room a little more zing.

Here's what you need

Scissors
Lampshade
Fabric
Tape
Pintucks

1. Cut fabric that can go around the lamp.

2. Fit the fabric around the lamp, apply tape to the top on the inside and use pins to tuck the bottom secure.

I used IKEA Fabric for this. Any fabric in a color that fits your theme is ok.

3.Enjoy your new lamp. Easy.

MASTER BEDROOM DO OVER TAKE 1

Here's to peaceful sleep areas. Time to add some chill to your chill-zone. Bedrooms should be peaceful areas. This is one ginormous bedroom. Now that am soon vacating the premise I finally get 1 million ideas what I would have done with it.....more pictures less words.

Before,

I picked this bed ages ago, loved it then not feeling this style now.

Whoever invented the bed-in-a-bag was a genious even though I find the duvet color too bland, it works.

Fitted sheet went on.

Added an old nightstand in the mix, some of the hardware  might have fallen off over the year, so I decided to fix them.

Bedspread done.

Hardware about to be re-fixed,

Added a lamp, I keep moving this lamp and any other furniture from room to room. And the nightstand now looks like it's sister or brother. I lately am not feeling the lamp on both nightstands look so I do one lamp and other items on the opposite side.

I like how clean and simple this looks even with no art on top of the headboard.

On the other nightstand I did 3 items; a ceramic bowl that I use to keep coins, my new latest collectible - an hourglass, and a vase with faux plants that also moves from room to room.

Other view with the dresser that was also missing knobs.

I have no idea why these pictures look so blurred, I think I need to take 1 or 2 photography classes. Here's an up close of the nightstand.

There goes the wasted space....now I would probably put a loveseat, a table, some cute curtains and hang art on the wall opposite the window on the right.

The other lamp I used on the dresser,

All cleared up.

Selfie, thanks for reading.
