Guest Bedroom Update

 
I have updated the guest bedroom!  I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in here so I bought and returned a bunch of pillows, comforters and quilts.  I finally found the combination that was bright, clean and comfortable.  As I was figuring out what we wanted to do with the room, I started cleaning out the items that started gathering in this room.  I also cleaned out the closet and repainted the inside of it.  
 
 
We had a bed and a nightstand in the bedroom already so I went ahead and used what I have.  I may add a headboard or paint the one that we have.  The most unattractive piece in the room but the most beneficial is the new alarm clock that I bought that has 2 USB ports so guests don't have to find the plug behind the bed. 
 
Another practical item in the room is the WIFI password for anyone that needs it.  I have another one in the living room too.


I used to have a wardrobe in here from my college days but it needed some work and it took up a lot of space.  I decided to get rid of it and buy the stand instead.  I took the extra sheets and put them in the large basket I got from Target.
 
I put a basket of towels and wash clothes on the console table, an iPod dock, a small basket of toiletries, Q-tips and cotton balls.  I would like to find a small try to add to the table for snacks and water when guests stay.  I was going to add a night light too but thought the flameless candles could work too and wouldn't be as bright.  There are extra pillows, blankets and hangers in the closet.  I also have a pack n play in the closet just incase.   
 
There are still a few other things I may pick up if I see them like a X base stool to sit on or to sit their luggage on.
 


I am so excited for friends and family to stay in the new room.  We always have such a great time when people stay!  I hope they enjoy their new room!
