Every room needs something quirky and alive and this checked off both of those things. I added this little Jonathan Adler vase filled with ground covering clippings for its quirk factor. This nightstand holds a lot of potential necessities on top, too–shampoo, conditioner, body wash and mouth wash (there was a toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom), a bottle of water, and the WiFi information all corralled together on a tray makes it look more thoughtful rather than messy. The opened bottoms are perfect for stashing extra bath and hand towels on one side and in the other nightstand I stacked some magazines below.Vacations and on the treadmill are the only times I have to read magazines anymore–you? The nightstands came with, and matched, the bed that we upholstered and I actually really love them. Our guest book finally has a permanent location in our home on this nightstand, too.

I texted my sister before she arrived and asked her what candy/treats she enjoys most and she responded, “cake, ice cream and Raisinettes.” I stocked a tiered candy dish with the Raisinettes–something chocolately–and added in something sour/fruity (sour patch kids) and some nuts (almonds and pistachios) as well–which seemed like a good mix that could hit all the cravings. I really wanted this room to be calming, comfortable and functional for our guests. That being said, I hope you don’t mind I turned on the lamps ( they used to live in our bedroom in our old house) and new overhead light (swoooon) to shoot the rest of the photos. But it’s also about 30 degrees cooler, so it still kind of wins right now. Since this room is on the lower level of our home, the light doesn’t pour in all hours of the day like upstairs.
You saw when we painted all the walls and trim and also when we upholstered the bed, but here’s how she looks all finished: In case you forgot where we started, here’s how the room looked when we moved in…and for the last almost year: Maybe you’ve seen us on Instagram? Amidst the festivities, I found time to photograph the room for you that will be pulling a double shift this month with Chris’s brother’s family visiting in a couple weeks. We finished the guest room just in time for my sister, Victoria, to arrive last Saturday and we’ve been partying ever since.
