Progression of a Guest Room

 

When Maggie emailed me pictures of her guest room, I first noticed how many patterns and styles she mixed in this small space and how well they all worked together to give the room a really collected—and still serene--feel.

 

 

 

I always love to see how rooms evolve over time depending on the homeowners’ needs and tastes.  Here’s a look back at how this beautiful room came to be.

 

The space started as a cramped home office. . . .

 

 

 

 

And, was eventually transformed to a traditional guest bedroom. . . .

 

 

 

 

The updated space today:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(This antique Suzani was an anniversary gift from her husband.)

I spy the small Edland chests from IKEA.  The size of these are perfect for tight spaces.

  12. I've always been afraid to mix too many patterns, but it's nice to see that it can turn out so beautifully. I guess I'll have to be a bit more adventurous with pattern.
