From Nightmare to Dream Bedroom Makeover
I’ve been decking and trimming and baking and wrapping …
My house is holiday ready …
even my guest room has gotten a revamp with the most amazing affiiliate vintage-style bed known to man.
Remember when I turned my attic guest room into an office?
Since I never set foot in there, the dust bunnies were multiplying so I decided to turn it back into a guest room …
but this time, I was determined to turn it into a dream instead of a nightmare.
When I spotted this gorgeous, vintage style vintage style metal bed, I may have shed a tear of happiness!
Now my guest room screams, “make yourself comfortable and stay as long as you want (within reason).”
The cowhide rug with metallic flecks gives it a modern touch and a textured matelesse bedspread and wool throw from HomeGoods add texture and color.
Welcoming Guest Bedroom Ideas
1) Comfortable bedding (think layers), extra pillows, throws (I’m in the process of choosing a fluffy duvet)
2) books
3) good lighting (to read those books)
4) water – set out a pitcher (I use a cocktail shaker) with fresh water and a couple of glasses
5) alarm clock
6) mirror – to check for spinach in their teeth
7) storage – keep at least one dresser drawer empty and some room in the closet
8) pizazz – put your stamp on the room by adding fun seasonal touches, flowers and punches of color
I’m getting sleepy.
Think I’ll take a nap.
It looks great! I love the vintage ornaments in the clear vase!:)
I peeped the 55 downing street site, and I love the VALETTI 2-TIER NICKEL PLATED CUPCAKE STAND! very cool!!
Thank you for the chance to win!! Happy Holidays!

There isn’t anything in that room that I don’t absolutely LOVE. That brick wall with the funky mirror and that BED. Wow. 55 Downing has so many things that I could use in my country style home, but the UTTERMOST ELLSWORTH 29″ WIDE AGED WALL CLOCK would look great in my kitchen : ) One question: when can I come stay in that fabulous guest bedroom : ) Happy holidays!!
I love the Uttermost Argento Champagne Silver Clock, but then again, there were so many lovely things it’s hard to choose! : )
The items on the Holiday sales event are just TOO tempting to pass up.
Thanks Kelly for sharing with us. Your guest room looks so cozy!

Loved the site! So many things were calling me, like the pale pink glass trumpet vase, to place my pink birthday roses in…Thank you for the introduction, and the opportunity to win!
I can’t say everything right? I’m going to pick the BLAIR FAWN LARGE KIDNEY SOFA because I miss our kidney sofa so much and it’s beautiful!
I just saw their awesome wall paper and pretty sure I will be stuck on that page all day trying to decide where I want to put it!
Hugs,

I’m in the market for a few new trays and the 55 Downing selection is amazing!
I am looking for a new coffee table, and I like the Lido Wrought Iron cocktail table, even if it is a little too long for my space. Lots of pretty things!
So many pretty things, but I’m obsessed with that bed!
Just went back to find the ornaments (pictured on the table) and apparently they aren’t for sale 🙁 New favorite thing is the gun metal grey clutch! But seriously, it could be anything in the catalog!
I love the MUM blue-gray armless chair!
On 55 Downing Street I can’t live without the clear end table I’ve been looking for for months–so glad I waited for just the right contemporary acrylic accent piece to go between a light brown and a black leather reading chairs in our predominantly Mission style living room. So excited–I will be ordering it as soon as I get home to confirm the measurements. Thanks for the tip!
CLARENCE CLEAR MAGAZINE RACK ACCENT TABLE

In love with 55 Downing street’s Rhapsodille Blanket/Quilt!
I am TOTALLY digging the bed… May have to get one for MY attic guest room! As far as 55 Downing goes… After drooling through 12 pages of GORGEOUS, well-priced tufted furniture it was almost impossible to choose just one thing! I finally narrowed my choice down to a pair of “Cora Natural Line Accent Chairs” to go with my newest thrift store score- a navy/ivory gingham couch! Thanks for the post and the cool giveaway!

55 Downing Street not only has a tempting name but they also have tempting wares that are very lovely for house and home ! I would choose their Champion Red Willow Picnic Basket ! During the Summer and Autumn months , I will often grab my 3 children and husband for an impromptu picnic . We hike a short distance up the hill behind our house . It’s always filled with the best memories ! I think this picnic basket would help me have all the needed supplies right on hand ..making the picnics easier and even more fun !!!!
