Spare Bedroom Makeover

Week 19

This week, I wanted to transform our office that we basically used as a giant junk closet, into a functioning, welcoming spare bedroom/reading room.  My mom will be staying with us a lot when she comes to visit over the next year or so, so I wanted to make it a comfortable place for her, and any other guests, to relax and sleep in. I was able to use left over paint from the boys' dinosaur bathroom, an old futon frame that we had in the basement, a section of our sectional couch, and some Ikea tables that I have made as kitty box covers that also work as end tables. I also had decorations that I had already made in the color theme- teal and green. Besides the brand new futon mattress that I bought, I was able to get all accessories, curtains, lamps, guest towels and new sheets and blankets, for under $100.  

Here are the before pictures:

The futon in full bed form.  Very comfy!

 

The chair is a section of our couch that we didn't need in our family room.  I still need to paint the legs on the table.

I made this canvas out of scrap pieces of fabric.

my aunt Beth made this cool tray years ago, it looks perfect in this room.
