There is little in life
so reassuring as
a genuine welcome.

After 28 years, we have been working on house projects and updates to our home. One project was getting a bigger bed for our guest room, not only for our 3 grand boys but other family or friends who might come for a stay.
We started with a new queen mattress and boxspring. I painted the dark wood headboard/footboard (off white) that I was given by my neighbor. And we bought two night stands that my husband put together.
Other than that, we had everything else for the room, including the striped chair/ottoman which is also a twin bed, the pirates chest and star & nautical decor. There are even glow in the dark stars on the ceiling, leftover from when this was once our son's bedroom.
The decor might be over the top but I like it and think it feels comfortable. Our oldest grandson (age 13) just spent the night, gave it a test run. He approved.
The white dresser and mirror has been mine since I was 10 years old. When I was away visiting relatives, my parents surprised me by buying me all matching furniture...a new desk, bookshelf, bed frame with headboard and this dresser/mirror. It still looks new at 60 years old.
The style of your dresser and mirror is very stylish and reminds me of the refinished furniture my sister bought for her new home in Florida. The room looks great!
@kvphoto With the Olympics in Paris, it looks very French to me. LOL. I was thinking of painting the gold accents navy but have not had the energy. It is OK as is. I did change the center knobs to painted gold shells/beach look but unfortunately they do not show up in the collage. That was my update on the dresser. :)
@beverley365 Thank you, Beverly! I was raised a mile from the ocean so I love the casual cottage beach theme. It is my happy place! How are you holding up with all the olympic crowds? I am watching it all on TV!
I love the beach feel of this! This room is so beautiful and welcoming! I am sure all your guests will love staying here! And how wonderful that so much of the furniture has been repurposed! Well done! Fav
Beautiful collage… fab!
