Spare Bedroom Makeover
A few weeks ago I decided to go antiquing on a whim. A favorite past
time of mine. :) I came across the most beautiful vintage iron bed for
only fifty bucks! Score! It was exactly what I had in mind for this
room, but I'd never been able to find one at the right price. I guess it
was my lucky day!
When we first moved into the farmhouse we had Baker's nursery
temporarily set up in this room. And by "temporarily set up" I mean he
had a crib and changing table surrounded by piles of boxes and other
random things. And we nailed up some cheap black-out curtains from
Walmart over the windows. Yes - nailed. It wasn't pretty. But, we
transformed one of the upstairs bedrooms into a really cool nursery and
once we moved Baker in I was able to slowly clear out the room and get a
clean-slate vision for the space.
We wanted to make the room feel both comfortable and inviting for our
guests by incorporating soft, casual textures and authentic farmhouse
style. We were able to complete the room on a tight budget, as well, by
recycling pieces we already owned and scouting out the local trade
pages. I found a beautiful antique armoire for only $85 and the bed
linens were purchased from Ikea and Target. We also made our own curtain
rods and hardware and used drop cloths as curtains. All very accessible
and affordable if you're feeling inspired!
