The guestroom didn’t change a whole lot. But while The Beloved was restaining and sealing concrete floors, it became the storage/holding space as shown here…
But after the floors were done, it was time to put things in some kind of order. Particularly since my mom was coming to stay my birthday weekend, and, well, the couch is horribly uncomfortable. So I started measuring stuff and making sure we could fit the items in the room.
Especially the desk and bookshelf, because we now had other plans for that office space. And thankfully, everything would fit, albeit a tight fit. The final pictures are the result.
This room has now gone from a guest room to a guest room slash office, albeit one without cable. Who builds a house without a cable outlet in every room? But this is just one of those things from the List Of Things To Do that didn’t get done. Up there with Didn’t Get The Windows Cleaned or Didn’t Pressure Wash The Outside Stairs.

MilkMaid – thanks. The duvet, shams, and throw pillows are from Z-Gallerie, one of my favorite home accessory stores. The print above the desk is from the now-closed Storehouse Furniture. Don’t even get me started on how upset I am when they shut down. The desk is a Pottery Barn hand-me-over from a friend. The bookshelf is a great deal from Target. The window covering is deplorable, leftover from previous owners, and we just haven’t taken the time to replace it since the room is so rarely used. The J. Lennon print was done in charcoal, by the artistic Beloved. What can I say? We’re a bit on the eclectic side!

Holy cow- the Beloved did the J. Lennon print?! Is there anything that woman can’t do??
Um- and I really like the window covering, so if you DO get around to taking it down then send it my way
