When Julie asked me to help get her house in order before the holidays, I was really excited! The master bathroom & kitchen were recently remodeled and the new hardwoods are going in soon! Everything was coming together but the house just needed a few finishing touches. Since Julie and her husband will be welcoming family for Thanksgiving, I thought I would get the guest bedroom completed first.
Julie’s style is transitional/modern/eclectic so finding pieces that worked was easy. The bedroom only has an iron bed and is currently used as the “catch all” and storage space in the house. Let’s get into the details and start with the overall look of the room!

Guest Room Product Resource List
HEADBOARD: Home Shopping Network. I love this pattern and it’s graphic without being too modern and it is the jumping off point for the entire room!

BEDDING: This organic pin tucked bedding from West Elm is super soft and very chic. It can also look good folded up at the end of the bed to show off the yellow coverlet or blanket!

THROW/COVERLET: Add a coverlet between the top sheet and duvet for a pop of color or use this throw on top of the bed for the same look.

ACCENT PILLOWS:
These blue velvet pillows from Crate and Barrel will bring in the wall color and accents from the headboard. Place two of them on the bed and then add this fun 14×36 mongolian lamb pillow in front.


The geometric yellow and white pillow will look perfect in the accent chair and on the bed too!

NIGHT STANDS: These parsons tables from West Elm are the perfect size for the bedroom. I love the white finish but if you want to warm the room up, they have an espresso finish as well.

LAMPS: I love these yellow lamps from Lamps Plus. The color is not too YELLOW and the chrome base is good. You can find yellow lamps in many stores now so just go with what you love.

ACCENT PIECES FOR THE WALLS: These small starburst mirrors would look perfect over each nightsand and hung just over the lamps. The light will bounce off of the beads and create a sparkle!


ART: This tall piece from Sugarboo Designs has the perfect mix of colors in the room and the softness will be a good contrast to the leather accent chair!

LOUNGE CHAIR: This chair looks like a million bucks! The price is awesome (under $300 and $2 shipping!! )and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the detailing on the sides! A classic corner piece that is a bit oversized but the white will keep it visually simple.

ACCENT TABLE: Bring in a simple white accent table next to the chairs. These to paired with the yellow pillow and art will pop off of the China Blue walls! Set a small stack of colorfull books on the table for a finished look.

DRAPES: Amazon.com 96” length white velvet drapes $51.99 each panel. Any white drape will do, I love the texture of the velvet, but you can use linen or cotton too.

When my husband and I moved into our first house together the overwhelming hodgepodge of furniture drove me crazy! Over the past year I have managed to consolidate our furniture, add new pieces and successfully make a few things disappear. My biggest challenge was the budget…as it always is. My husband isn’t a fan of purchasing overpriced pieces that he knows I will want to replace in a few years! He’s right, so with a little help from Ikea, West Elm and a few other favorites I was able to keep the splurges to a minimum!
Yesterday I posted the updates to our master bathroom room so today, I am going to show off our new master bedroom.
BEFORE: All of the furniture pieces matched and everything felt dark. After we had the wood floors refinished and updated to a warmer tone, we addressed the wall color and everything begin to fall into place. We had great lamps, a bench that was in needed to be recovered and and the basic furniture pieces.




AFTER: We used Sherwin Williams Rain Washed to match the bathroom and used that as a starting point for the rest of the fabrics and furnishings in the room. I had the headboard recovered in a cream linen with nickel nail heads for a masculine touch. The fresh white drapes from Ikea were simple and $19.99 a pair! The new bedding (West Elm Organic Pin-Tuck Duvet) and accent pillows (Anthropologie) in fun patterns keep the overall look from being too “girly”. I had our bench recovered in Duralee’s Medallion pattern in Henna and threw in two pillows to match on the bed. The Devon starburst mirror from Zgallerie was a great way to add the high end look at an affordable price.
I am IN LOVE with our new prints from Sugarboo Designs. The Brown Dog and White Dog prints are the handy work of artist Rebecca Puig! I love the way they bring in a bit of color and remind me of our puppies!

I have always wanted a place to curl up and read or just sit down to put on my shoes in the morning. The West Elm Sweep Armchair was on sale and I loved it so much…I added them to our living room too.

I couldn’t finish our room with out at least one piece of something from Kelly Wearstler. Her Imperial Trellis fabric has become a staple in the design industry and looks fabulous with the brown Mongolian shag pillow from Pillows and Throws.

I snagged this lamps at a local lighting store on clearance three years ago. I had mirrors cut to fit the top our our night stands, the light really bounces around the dark corners of the room now! It was an inexpensive way to update the look of the night stands for on $30 each. I did however splurge a bit on the crystal knobs for each drawer, since I only need four of them it wasn’t so bad.

My husband is obsessed with “catch all” places in our home. He has multiple trays and containers around the house where he drops his keys, wallet and other random things he collects in his pockets. This luggage stand is the perfect place for him to drop his ball cap, tie or golf shoes when he runs in and out of the house. I recovered the top of the stand in the same apple green velvet left over from our shams.

And of course no photo shoot in the Fenimore house would be complete with out our two girls! I have to admit….Ivy (left) and Caddo (right) do love their cuddle time in our bed!
