My friend, Debbie (you met her last year), who lives out in the country recently married off child #2 and is now officially an empty nester. She decided she wouldn’t waste anytime in converting her son’s upstairs bedroom to a guestroom, keeping the bunkbeds that her boys grew up on. One of these days, they will hopefully have some grandkids who will visit and this will be the perfect space for some kidlets to play. Debbie and her daughter, Tiffany, did a great job with making this a special little bedroom now, with a lodgey look that Smokie the Bear would be proud of . The main color in the room is Grape Leaves (a Behr color & on the same color strip as my laundryroom green, Grasscloth).
They did a brown accent wall and Tiffany used the trees in the blanket as inspiration for painting some trees on the wall. I thought that was a brilliant accent and a fun whimisical idea for the room. This old oak wall unit was transformed with 2 colors of paint.
And she took out the old dated glass that was in the doors and added beadboard. Great idea for an out-dated piece of furniture.
The bunkbeds got some new boy-friendly bedding with a bear theme.
You can see where the tree shape idea came from…the pillow sham. Isn’t it the cutest?
She had no trouble finding lodge and camping signs in the stores. I love this one…don’t we need one of these for our home too?

I loved Debbie’s cute little lodge guestroom. And I’m sure when she has grandchildren, they will love it too! Hope you enjoyed seeing something a little bit different too that might give you some inspiration for a kid’s room.
What a great room! I am actually gathering ideas for my boys’ bedroom and they both like camping, so this gives me some inspiration. I love the color on the walls!
Rhoda, this room is adorable! What a great job your friend did. I really like painting the oak cabinet – that really gives it a fun, updated look! 🙂
I need the ‘bear’ sign…that is my middle son’s nickname that he has had since birth…he’s 21 now and yes, he’s still a bear when awakened…or sleepy, or hungry….but generally is the most charming young man on the planet!
That’s a really cute room. Love that paint job too!
take care, DebraK
It looks adorable! I love the trees she painted on the wall! How creative.
ADORABLE!! Wow, I always say it, but what a difference paint makes — that wall unit looks amazing. What a great room!
This room is just absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing it with us.
What a cute room. I want to make sure my daughter sees this…she has 2 little boys!
Thanks for sharing!

Great room!!!!
That room is just precious. I love the color combos. Thanks for sharing it with us Rhoda. Have a great week!
Oh my Rhoda! You just tell Debbie that I love that room. So fun! Is that Big Bear theme a remembrance of Big Bear lake in CA? Say hi from the Herberts, used to be at Shadow Mtn!!! One of these days we’ll arrange for the twins to come minister out this way (SW MO) Blessings, Shay
The room is super cute! I love the paint choices and the hand painted trees. What fabulous ideas!
That is precious , RHoda!
What a great room..my grandson would love this room! I have always loved bunk beds (guess cause I had 5 kids! lol) But I have seriously thought of buying some to make a bedroom for the grandkids…this room is just so cute with all it’s little details and I love that bedding…great post girl…thanks for sharing such great ideas…have a great week!
Your friend Debbie is one talented woman. So glad she used her creative gift and decorated an adorable room just the way she desired. What big or little person wouldn’t like hanging out in that room.
Enjoy following your blog, just down the road from you in Montgomery. Thanks for all you do to inspire us. Drop and visit me anytime.

This room is fabulous! Your friend has fun taste and a great way with assembling it all. My little boy would be in heaven here, so I know those future grandkids will be as well.
