Guest Bedroom Changes

Having a guest bedroom

is pretty rad,

except for the fact that 

we rarely have guests.

Sadly, we end up turning it into

a storage room between company visits...

but not anymore!

After finding out a couple of weeks ago

that some good friends of ours were coming 

out and wanting to crash at our place,

we got our butts in gear

and cleared out the room.

Now, it's nothing fancy.

I mean, hey!

We're using an air mattress here -

not even a real bed (sorry folks), 

but the changes have made a difference

nonetheless.

And I no longer

 have to close the door

in shame,

which is a good thing 

in my book!

Here are some pics 

of the progression...

and adding some curtains:

Talk about harsh lighting...

 After paint

(Benjamin Moore, "Nimbus")

and some reorganization...

Hello glorious airbed!

The gray walls and white furniture really calm the space.

Little gallery wall over the bed... probably will grow and change over time.

For perspective.  Don't mind the mirror smudges.

 The wall color has made

the greatest change for this room.

Adding little touches like a

reading lamp

on the nightstand

with some books and magazines

cozied up the room as well.

My goal is to someday 

have a real bed in here

(to add to the comfort),

but that's not urgent 

by any means.

So there you have it.

Future guests?

I have a room for you.

Plus, I'll make you breakfast.

Just sayin'.
