You Guest It.

You know that saying, “Go big or go home?” That’s what Eden did here.  Although it’s a guest room, so she probably meant “Go big and stay home. My home, that is.  Stay at my home. As my guest. Nevermind.”

But she really did go big, with a nine-foot-tall headboard! That’s one way to make your guests feel special. Good luck getting rid of them. They’ll probably be expecting to wake up to breakfast in bed and a freshly ironed newspaper now.

Eden reports that this entire makeover was done for about $350, with the headboard costing $120 of that. Most everything else was Craigslist, thrifted, or homemade, including this nifty armoire makeover.

It was nearly twenty years old and showing its age, so Eden stained it and gave it a dry-brushing treatment to match the headboard. Lovely!

    Ok, I have nearly that same exact armoire. It must have been the same line as the hardware is the same. Sigh. Nearly 20 years old? Um, yes, that’s true. Now I feel like I need a walker and some prunes.

    I wonder why she chose to cover up the window? I think it’s much more inviting now though. That blue would have given me a headache.

    There’s no way that could be the same room, ha!
    It looks so cozy now – and that window seat!

    May I please have Eden’s address as I want to be a guest in that room. Permanently. Probably one of the best makeovers ever.

    Lovely, indeed!! But I’m sorry, there’s no way you can re-carpet a room and do all that for $350. Very nice, though
