In case you don’t remember what this room looked like before…..well, be ready for a BIG change. If you’re a new reader, you will not know that this all started with a yardsale find…yes, the hazards of yardsaling, when I found a great looking black and white damask king comforter set for $15. That got the ball rolling. There was really nothing wrong with this room, it was comfortable, the colors were pretty, but let’s face it…it was a little granny. I had just used all the bedding and leftover stuff I had in here when we moved in to make it a decent guestroom, but deep down, I wanted CHANGE. And change I got! Feast your eyes on the new beachy glam guestroom.
Thank you all for being such wonderful friends and coming by to spend time with me. That makes my day!

Rhoda,
I love reading about your makeovers! You have a wonderful ability to accessorize and pull it all together!
I really love this room…every inch of it!
And the oil paintings done by Grandma Eleanor make it even more special!

How breathtakingly beautiful!!! You are such an inspiration to those of us who don’t have $10,000 to redo a room. It looks like a million bucks!

I could seriously live in this room and NEVER come out! And what a creative thrifty way to achieve this major designer look!! Perfection.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Thanks for the link to this, Rhoda! The bookcase looks great! I love the transformation you did here, but I have to tell you that I have that same area rug in your “before” picture in a small den I have (we call it “the kids’ den” where they hang out with friends instead of our great room).
