OK, this might be a boring update, since there's not a lot to see but we said we'd go room by room and since we did the master last week, now it's on to the other bedrooms. This week it's the guest room.
The house will be three bedrooms. We had the option for a 4th but aside from adding a lot of expense, we didn't really need all that space. I mean, it's just the two of us and we don't have much family. We never have a lot of people that stay with us, certainly at the apartment we have none (1 bedroom/1 bath), but at the house we sold before the apartment, we had a guest room that was used on occasion by friends and family visiting
Of course, being the country, you never know, someone might come visit and would rather stay overnight instead of driving back into town.
So here is the guest room.
It measures 12.8'x13.6'.
9 foot ceiling.
4 recessed lights and a ceiling fan in the middle.
We could choose either bedroom to be the guest room but we chose this one since it's at the end of the hall for maximum privacy (also the other one is slightly bigger which would be better for how we'll use that room, more on that next week).
This is from a model home photo (before they started decorating, ha). It has a good size double door closet with some built-ins, of course it will probably end up being more of an extra closet to store our stuff, ha. The guest bed that we have is queen size so it will fit nicely. There is this large window that will face the front yard (the master bedroom windows face the rear) so it will let in a lot of light.
You've probably seen pics of our guest room at the farm, but in case you haven't, here it is:
This is a great, vintage Hoosier style cabinet my Mom had in her bedroom, we'll put it on the wall by the door going into the room...

If someone does stay overnight, we want them to be a calm, relaxing space. Because of the pastels and the flowers, we're going to call it the "Spring room".
Updates are never boring ... It's all new information for all of us following your progress!
ReplyDeleteNice size guest room. Will look nice with your queen size bed, nice cushioning chair with end / night table along with a reading lamp and a chest of drawers with mirror or small writing desk will make it very inviting.
ReplyDeleteI like that the vents are in the ceiling instead of on the floor or base boards. Won't have to worry about covering up the vents with furniture that way.
Enjoy your day and have a wonderful evening.
You could use part of that guest bedroom closet for your off season clothing, bedding, etc.
DeleteA guest bedroom should be first of all comfortable and, next, welcoming. I think your scheme achieves that. Further, after you both retire from work, you may find that having friends to spend the night is a pleasant way to socialize. Roderick
ReplyDeleteThe guest room at the Farm house was so very pretty. I love the antique furniture from your mom and the decor. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWith your “Spring Room” guest room having the same vibes, it’s going to be beautiful. The reading chair and side table will be a great addition.
Oh, I love updates. Even tearing out is interesting. If a guest becomes annoying, make the room less welcoming, like finding mice and the scorpions.
ReplyDeleteAdorable. I could really unwind in your guest room.
