Guest Room Inspirations

As I mentioned a few weeks back I started on the journey of redesigning our guest bedroom. I kept going back and fourth on what exactly to do. I even considered keeping the bedding I already had but it is sold and thus I am officially committed to this project. There is no going back now!;)

I fell in love right away when I saw Jennifer's redesign of her nursery a few months back!! It is just so elegant but peaceful and calm at the same time. Her room is definitely what budget friendly dreams are made of! She did the entire room for little over $200... I think! WOW!
I also went surfing google and came upon some other  inspirations pics. All have aspects that I love.

I love this room for the sheer fact that the headboard to me is to die for and we just so happen to have a very similar styled headboard already in the guest room. It just needs to be repainted since right now it is red. Nope, red will not work.

LOVE all the white in here. It is just soo dreamy but I need a tad bit of color.

A room with similar details as Jennifer's but with more pattern. I love the gingham bed skirt!! Talk about pricey though if ya can even find one!:(

And oh my my my! Words are not even needed for this room! A little too dark for me though. Still just lovely!
Then there is this room. It mixes the white and the linen with gray painted furniture. Hmmm, there is an idea!

Then I come across fabric like this and think what a wonderful dust ruffle it would make. Added it up and that dust ruffle would be well over $100 even with a HobLob 40% off coupon! So that is a major no go but maybe will make a possible accent pillow. Euro Shams would be divine but I am not that talented in the sewing department. Sigh.

Then I see pieces like this and am in love with color all over again! This armoire is just amazing!! How could I have missed Sandy's blog!!?? I had never even heard of paintmewhite.com. Trust me go visit Sandy! You will not be disappointed!

I keep thinking how easy this room will be to put together. I already have purchased several  main pieces for the redo but I am being torn in which direction to go and well price is a HUGE factor as well. If money was not an issue I would have no problem deciding what to do. Despite my indecision the painting of the furniture has begun so if I ever want to finish this room up I need to make some decisions and find some fabulous deals.

GIRL! You torture me with those pictures! My master bedroom is....well, let's just say a work in progress....like every room here lately. My booth is taking every last resource that I have so I guess my personal spaces will have to wait a few more months.....
Cannot wait to see what you create!

I love the inspiration photos!! I recently finished adding all my furniture pieces to my bedroom and made summer drapes with a white quilt on top. Love the white but could never have had it when we had little ones. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

What lovely inspiration rooms! I also love airy and comfy, with a little color, nothing too busy or ornate. Good luck with your room makeover but I'm sure you'll do great!!

beautiful inspiration pictures! I'm sure once you get the furniture painted and get everything set up in the room it will all come together. I love the look of all white bedding, and it is easy to mix and match different things then too. You can always do more color in accent pillows and a quilt at the end of the bed

I love these bedroom pics! I am also re-doing our bedroom and do quite a bit of browsing on the web for inspiration - isn't it fun? I'm trying to do my makeover for under $100! can you say "challenge"? I've found my (silk) drapes, bedskirt and art so far... all at 2nd hand shops... all beautiful and in great condition... for $23 total... so it can be done! Can't wait to see your finished product. :)
