Domestic Imperfection: Guest Room Before and After

Guest Room Before and After

Since the guest room was a pre-blog project I don't have any pictures of it in progress. Trust me when I say that every item in this room could be its own post! Here are the before and after pictures...I wanted this room to have a totally different color scheme and design than the rest of my house, and it certainly does!

The before..

and the after!

today is the day, black frame, yellow words

Update: Here is the link to the updated frame wall.

At February 6, 2012 at 4:33 PM , Unknown said...: Just found your blog. Gotta say...you must have watched and love The Christmas Story (hubby's fav Christmas movie). I say...um, type that because of the lamp. Fragile. Must be French...yep, I've watched it with him once or twice.
At February 7, 2012 at 12:46 PM , Ashley @ Domestic Imperfection said...: We are totally fans, we watch it every year! The leg lamp was actually a wedding gift from my BIL...we've been married for almost eight years now and that lamp has always been a little awkward - I love that it has a home now!
