I had posted back in June that with the announcement of a new baby on the way it was time to do some re-arranging in our home. The guest room was downstairs right off the kitchen and this was the perfect location for a kids playroom. You can read all about that HERE.
I have been busy this summer working on 4 rooms. Avery’s Big Girl Room, Switching the Nursery to Braden’s nursery and swapping the current guestroom upstairs to the bonus room and making the current guest room the playroom. So….I have been making lots of progress and the new guest room is done!
As you head up our front stairs you can see the small balcony section leads over to a 5th bedroom….this is now the new Guestroom.
This is a view from that balcony looking down to our entryway.
This is the hallway leading into the guest room
Welcome to our new guestroom…
I pretty much moved everything from the old guestroom up to this room. The layout of the room is a little different and the ceiling height is much lower, but I think it all works great. Unfortunately, I had to cover one window with the headboard. There was really no other way to lay out the room.
In the original guestroom the ceilings were really tall so the french mirror was on the wall above the dresser, but it wouldn’t fit in this room.
I LOVE This wallpaper! I have a really small section downstairs right in front of the old guest room, but this room has an entire wall of it! It fits perfectly in this room! So glad that it will be seen more now because you never really saw it when it was in the “bonus room”…we never went in there. Click HERE for lots of Wallpaper ideas.

I was able to fit every piece into the new guestroom except one! This white piece is now in my dining room.
Thanks for visiting our new guestroom. If you have any questions post them in the comments below and I will get back to you. Thanks
Love this! Is the French mirror a replica from somewhere or an antique find? Also did you create the mantle or did you find it in all its chippy glory?? I have 2black ones… one which will remain black but the other I would love to transform and use in our guest room. Any tips welcome! ๐
Thanks!! It was a replica I found at a local boutique. I found the mantle like that, but I tufted it and turned it into a headboard. I do paint and refinish furniture, but I got lucky to find it just like that. If you want to paint yours you can create your own chalkpaint (there are lots of recipes on the internet) and then distress it with an electric sander and seal with a glaze. I bet they are beautiful!!
