The Spare Oom...



I know what you are thinking.  It's spelled room...but haven't you seen Chronicles of Narnia? {great books as well as movies by the way}  That is what Ryan calls our little ol' guest room.  I got a wild hair and decided to whip this room into shape using only things that I have around the house.  A little poking around in all of my various junk stashes I came up with this:


Give it a Bed and Breakfast feel for your guest, use plenty of flowers and candles!


Make you bedding inviting and make sure to have plenty of extra blankets on hand.


Wanna learn how to arrange pictures like this?  Young House Love has a great tutorial!


Candy stashed in a duck is always good...


A nice bedside place to put things like earrings, cellphones, or wallets.

So that was my spare room magic!  A little IKEA, ReStore, and vintage loveliness all comes together to create an inviting space for all of our house guests.  Now I just need to actually paint it haha!  It is the only room I haven't touched yet.  I don't know if you can tell in the pictures or not but there are several nail holes that we covered in mud that still need sanding {NOT feeling handy lately}

But all that will come with time.  In the mean time don't I have pretty junk?
