GUEST BEDROOM MAKEOVER AND A $500.00 GIVEAWAY

 

GABLE GUEST ROOM REVEAL-NEUTRAL AND COMFORTABLE GUEST ROOM

Thank you Carpet One Floor and Home® for sponsoring this post. I’m so excited about this “reveal” today! The Gable guest room is the smallest guest room at StoneGable with a big gable window and a vaulted ceiling. It feels cozy and I like to say that it is a little jewel box of a room! The room certainly needed updating to fit in with the rest of my neutral home. Everything in this room was changed out! From the paint color to the rug to the furniture to the bedding! Everything except the mattress which was rather new. So, let’s t-o-u-r! ($500.00 HOMEGOOD’S GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY is at the end of this post)

Today is episode #27 of Decorating Tips And Tricks and our topic is a real favorite of mine… PILLOWS!!! Yes, we are discussing pillows!!! 

You can listen below…

Now let’s tour the Gable guest room…

Do you remember how the Gable room looked? Here’s the BEFORE…

You can see more of the room’s BEFORE and how I planned to makeover this guest bedroom HERE.

 

And here’s how the Gable room looks now…AFTER

GUEST BEDROOM MAKEOVER REVEAL- A step by step guide about making a room over! Here's how I did it!

A big, big change! And a very different feel. I wanted this bedroom to be very light and relaxed and very unfussy, updated and neutral!

GUEST BEDROOM MAKEOVER REVEAL- A step by step guide about making a room over! Here's how I did it!

Here are a few images of the mood board I created for the makeover…

This room was lightened up with a couple coats of soft white paint and a beautiful bound broadloom carpet that covers most of the hardwood floor. I want my overnight guest to have a soft surface for their feet!

I ordered the carpet and had the edges serged. I love the way it turned out. The carpet covers the center of the room and because it was custom made I chose the size I wanted!

This beautiful carpet is from …

We decided on on a Relax it’s… Lee’s ® carpet called WHITE WISP in a gorgeous white tone! Our guest will love this pretty soft carpeting and I’m going to love its easy care and stain resistance!

You can see all the other reasons I chose Relax it’s… Lee’s® carpet in the Plans and Progress post HERE.

GABLE GUEST ROOM REVEAL-NEUTRAL AND COMFORTABLE GUEST ROOM

In a guest room it’s very important to keep furniture at a minimum to give our guests room to move around and spread out! Because this is the smallest guest room st StoneGable I tried to create a feeling of a larger, lighter and open space. White walls and a light rug went a long way in creating this look.

Making a cozy guest bed is another must-have in our guest rooms.

 I want my guest to sleep on a mattress just as good as the one we sleep on! It’s an investment but so worth it for our guests. 

The bedding is neutral and layered. I want this bed to say “welcome” in an unfussy, realaxed way!

Because the bed tucks perfectly into a small indent in the room there is no room for nightstands. I opted for these pretty, streamlined sconces that have a small round platform for a phone and maybe a pair of glasses. There is a USB port built into the round base of the sconce to make charging a phone easy.

The sign above the bed perfectly says how we feel about having guests staying with us!

I think I love this room because of the big window and the way the sun brightens up the room.

This is the chair that I ordered for the guest room but it won’t be here until May. I think it will add a sassy, lively element to the room and be very comfortable too!

So, in the meantime I’m using this one…

      Yes I would as well love to see your craft or work room. I have a challenge my sewing studio is in my formal living room. It is a challenge to have style and work room in one. I so need so inspiration.

    Now I want to go work on my spare bedroom. LOL we don’t have to keep it tha same for ever!
    Thanks Have a nice weekend!

  39. genie steger says:

    Oh I do love the makeover (but I too did like other the iron bed also). Love the burlap curtains and the bedding (looks like Pottery Barn)and I am considering them for our MB makeover), I never get tired of pillow ticking and gingham checks!!!!

  40. Raida Disbrow says:

    I am new to your blog and love this beautiful room! The neutral colors throughout the room are so relaxing and inviting. Beautiful!

  41. Love the room! Especially the bedding, can’t wait to here your sources!

  42. Katie fisher says:

    Love the curtains. Such a light an airy room. Just want to curl up in that cozy bed

  43. Love the bedside lamps. Perfect answer to the less than 12 inch space on each side of my quest room beds. Love the whole room.

  44. Frances Hurst says:

    The ‘before’ was pretty, but the ‘after’ I love! So restful and unfussy!

  45. Nice and light, although I loved the iron bed in the before room. But understand why you changed it. So glad to see you added the sconces for reading etc. I have one tiny suggestion, have someone construct a small shelf supported by a brace on either side of the bed as a “nightstand” where guests can place their glasses if they need to see when they get up, a cell phone, or glass of water. It would be simple to add and could be done in. Wood tone to match the sconces. I think that would be an essential for anyone.

  46. The wall lamps are a true bonus and the smocked drapes look stunning.

  47. Mary Beth Harper says:

    Love your ideas especially the window treatment.

  48. You got this contest, I love those cute little sconces and the flower pots on stilts. Love it!

  49. Just Perfect! It’s so refreshing! Great job Yvvonne!

  50. Love the sconces & all the cozy neutralness! It’s beautiful! So very inspiring!!

  51. Guests won’t want to leave! Fantastic all the way around.

  52. Another stunning room at your beautiful home, love everything in there…have voted already, think your doing really well…good luck…….x

  53. Love both the before and after! You definitely do a great job decorating.

  54. It looks great and what a differences!

  55. Loved the room before but really like the lightened-up look and feel. L.O.V.E. the wall sconces.

  56. WOW-hard to believe it’s the same room! So calm and inviting.

  57. What you’ve done with a small room is amazing…love it!

  58. The room looks so inviting! I love the chair you’ve ordered!!

  59. Alma Garst says:

    Great color scheme and beautiful decor! Love it! ❤️

  60. What a lovely room that invites relaxation and inspiration. I am going to “borrow” some of your ideas – strips and plaids on the bed, softening the palate a bit so eyes and mind can relax. Just got paid and I now am on a mission to up the décor in my guest room. Thank you as always – xx-hb

  61. Lynn Liggitt says:

    It looks great. I especially like the sconces. I’m not a fan of the drapes, though.

  62. Sandra Barnhart says:

    Such a beautiful restful room. That sconces is amazing!

  63. Simply beautiful and what a relaxing feel just looking at the pictures. I especially like the plaque above the bed.

  64. Just beautiful with all the extra special touches! Can’t wait to see the new chair in place and the resources for those great accessories! We just had all our bedrooms carpeting replaced by our local Carpet One Floor and Home and were so pleased with the results and they made the process a very easy one for us.

  65. Your guest room is beautiful and inviting. I would love to be a guest there. I will keep on voting also. Good luck.

  66. I too like your guest room. The carpet is nice! I do miss the beautiful bed you had in there. Too bad you couldn’t at least use the headboard.. the new bed seems too modern. But that’s just my opinion. I like all the cute details!

  67. Looks like a room I would love to take a nap in! I had those exact curtains in one of my rooms in our last home. I would love to source those again because the store is no longer in business I purchased them at. Nice job!!!!!

  68. BettyAnne says:

    Oh, please, may I come for a visit? I will spend all my visit in your beautiful guest room!!!!! Perfection.

  69. Really thought this makeover the best. I especially love the wall light…great idea as lots of rooms do not have area for two side tables…the birdie cute too ….that bit of whimsy we so love!

  70. Absolutely breathtaking!!! I am crushing on the amazing plant stands (and pretty much every other aspect of this amazing room)!!!

  71. Beautiful…Love the bedding…All the layers…Love the wall sconce with little shelf. Light and airy, yet warm and inviting…

  72. This room has yor “stamp” all over it! I especially like the bedside lamps. I agree the carpeting is just right. It is a perfect retreat for guests or anyone!

  73. Laura Waters says:

    I love the transformation and as usual, you hit it out of the park. I have never heard of Lee’s Carpets and am definitely going to look into it. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing your list of resources. Have a Blessed Day.

  74. I love the neutral color’s and adore the furnishings, but I miss the drop leaf table. I guess that’s my ‘remember my grandmother’ feeling whenever I see one. The sconces are absolutely the best, allowing clean utilization for today’s gadget need while providing a space for a water glass too, excellent choice (smart).

  75. Debbie Brewer says:

    Love the bedding and the small bookshelf. You always do a fabulous job. I look forward to opening your blog daily to see all your fabulous ideas. I am also enjoying your podcast.

  76. Ann Marie says:

    Beautiful room. The sconces had me… with a USB port no less! That is something I could use in one of my guest rooms…I have a funny corner where I can’t fit a table, so that would be perfect. I had no idea something like that was out there..

  77. Christine says:

    This lovely room is sure to be appreciated by your guests . Thoughtfully well appointed for comfort and beautiful decor , your guests will be warmly welcomed in this room .

  78. Your guest room is exquisite! I absolutely love the color palette you choose! It is soft and elegant and so inviting!

  79. Babette Thurston says:

    Hi Yvonne
    I love the room makeover!!! You’re winning!!! I must know where you got the sconces and those adorable planters! The room is beautiful so light and airy! Bravo!!!

  80. Nancy brasher says:

    It’s breath taking! !!

  81. Lanita Anderson says:

    Love your gable room makeover…..so pretty!! I think my favorite would have to be the neutral bedding, but it may be the pretty chair you are waiting on! 🙂 What a blessing for guests that visit your home to have such a wonderful guest room! Thanks for sharing – Happy Friday!

  82. This is a beautiful guest room … I love the sunlight streaming in through that beautiful window and the bed is so very pretty too !
    The welcome sign left on the dresser for your guests is wonderful … I love all of your special touches to this very welcoming guest room! Jayne

  83. I was so happy to cast my vote for your beautiful new guest room, I love the new look! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us and have a wonderful weekend!
    Miz Helen

  84. beautiful makeover, love the bedside sconces and the bookshelf! thanks for the inspirations.

  85. Love the inviting bedding! Do I spy some hidden blinds for the windows? So glad a couple of bunnies made the cut…

    Have a great day!

    Bunny

  86. I choose your guest room makeover because I love the drapes!! I also appreciate having a small chest for guests to use. I like to travel, but don’t like living out of a suitcase. Just beautiful, as always!

  87. Elizabeth says:

    I love your new guest room! You’ve given me lots of ideas for ours.

  88. This guest room is so pretty–what a gift you have, Yvonne! I really like the neutral palette!

  89. Mary Beth Johnson says:

    You are such an inspiration! I thought I had a lovely guest room, but yours puts me to shame.

  90. From one Yvonne to another…beautiful! Also, another vote!

  91. Wow absolutely gorgeous makeover 😉

  92. A most beautiful makeover Yvonne…love it all!!! … and the sconces are amazing! Love that it is space saving with that USB and surface to place things on….Have a great weekend!

  93. Yvonne, just lovely! Thanks for the inspiration! Love it all!!! ?

  94. I like some of your changes but not everything. My favorite addition are the side table/lamps. Where did you find them? I had burlap curtains back in 1075 when I was newly married and couldn’t afford finer fabric. I don’t really want to go backwards but I know it’s a popular look now . Glad you are happy with the redo and I know your guests will be too. Your ideas are always appreciated.

    1. I hope you take this as an opinion of one of your readers, not a criticism. I agree about the curtains making the room look like it is going backwards. I absolutely love, love, love the original look of the guest room, especially the color of the wall!! Can’t say enough how pretty I think the whole look is from the wall to the beautiful bed, bed coverings, to the light and dark furniture. And I even like the old curtains too! It looks like you invested a lot to make it so pretty!!!! The second makeover look gives the impression of decorating on the cheap with others throwaways, at least in my opinion, although I’m pretty sure I’m going to be outnumbered here. Lol. Maybe it’s because I’m not a fan of whitewashing all my furniture and accessories. I find it looks too ‘bleached’, ‘the same, not original. But as in all things, we’re all made different and each of us like different things.

      1. Lola, your opinion is welcome here. But you are very outnumbered. I actually won the makeover challenge! But that is what is so wonderful about decor… it’s a VERY personal thing. I share decorating on my blog to inspire my readers and I’m hoping you can find something in the room that makes you want to continue to decorate your own abode and make it a haven for you and your family.

        1. Yvonne, I figured I’d be outnumbered which isn’t a problem for me. But I’m glad you won! After all, you were the designer of the ‘old’ look too! 🙂 I didn’t think it was a bad redo I just preferred the original. I think I’m close to getting my husband to agree redoing our master and I’d love,love, love it to look like the pink room! Usually I can take or leave decorating because tastes vary so much. But I’m so in love with the original and hope I can at least duplicate the wall color if I can find out the name. Hint, hint! Of course that means new carpet too, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Lol

    2. Hi Harriet, what goes around comes around. I’ve just discovered the beauty of burlap in the last 5 or so years and love how it creates a more casual look in rooms that I tend to decorate more formally.

      Don’t look at it as going backwards… think of it as re-discovery in a new and unique way!

  95. LOVE THE ROOM! Like so many other can’t wait for your resource post!!! You do a wonderful job with all you under take.

  96. Could you please share the source for the bed side lamps?

  97. Susan Williams says:

    Love it, so serene.

  98. So pretty! And it looks like you are in the lead!!

  99. Marie Powers says:

    The after is lovely, especially the smocked curtains. i, however, prefer the soft peach tones of the before. When I showed my hubby the two rooms, surprisingly, he picked the before too! Your home is beautiful and both rooms are welcoming to your guests.

  100. It’s just beautiful and so calming. You have inspired me for my new house with the gambled roofline in all 3 of my rooms. Although my walls are only 5 feet tall. I had that exact window in my old house. I made a linen Roman shade that crossed all 3 windows. When it was open looked like a very narrow valance but when closed it provided privacy since it faced the neighborhood street. I loved the view of our old neighborhood and wasted to make the most of it.

  101. Patricia A. says:

    I love everything about the guest room, especially the smocked drapes…Thanks for inviting us in for a look..Indeed, you are winner…

  102. Sherilyn Jennings says:

    What a beautiful room! I’m in the process of redecorating a guestroom and am looking for inspiration.

  103. I really like the simplicity! We’re moving in April to a smaller home and presently getting rid of clutter and selling large pieces of futniture. I read your blog each day and I want to say Thank You for the inspiration

    God bless
    Teresa C.

  104. The room was beautiful before and is so inviting and lovely now. The sweet little sign and bunny bowl on the dresser are so charming and welcoming.

  105. Love this room!!! Those curtains are amazing :). I would feel very welcome as a guest in your home.

  106. Maggie Farmer says:

    Your guest room came out beautiful! The Lord has certainly given you a talent for decorating…..and the house to use it on. I enjoy your blog very much!!

  107. The room was lovely before and looks great now. I love how you styled the table under the window, and the sconces are such a smart choice.

  108. The bedroom is so beautiful and inviting. I love the before also. I will look forward to your resource list as I love those sweet little sconces.

  109. I love the new room! I prefer neutrals as well. Really am drawn to your sconces, one of my favorite types of lighting. I like everything about them, the little place for your glasses, the wrought iron, all of it. Love the bedding, duvet cover my favorite!

  110. What a gorgeous room! I love the new carpet – makes the room seem so cozy. The room is stunning – I always love your use of texture in your home. And, I voted for you! Good luck!

  111. Vickie Macfarlane says:

    What a beautifully welcoming and relaxing room Yvonne! Gorgeous!

  112. Mary Zuchowski says:

    It’s gorgeous! You have my vote.

  113. Voting for your makeover was a no-brained! While I also enjoy Cedar Hill, your seemed to have the most overall change that appealed to me.
    Best of luck for the win!

  114. Very pretty. Your guests will love it!

  115. Karen Scott says:

    Loved it before, love it more now. Just voted. You are way ahead, Yeah!!

  116. I loved the room before, this one is nice too. I really loved the the iron bed, lighter curtains and beautiful pink walls. Here I like the carpeting, the plant stands and the sconces with the platform with a USB port, so necessary today and such a thoughtful touch. It always feels so good to have a refreshed room. Nice.

  117. Lorraine Hitchcock says:

    Simply beautiful! Anxiously awaiting the resource list.

  118. The makeover is absolutely beautiful. Love all the attention to details in everything you do. Can’t wait to see the resources as there are a number of items which interest me. Thank you.

  119. Julie Frey says:

    Well I have to say I really LOVED the before guest room also!! I also love the make-over. Honestly I would love to sleep in either one!! I do have a request though. Could you tell us where you got your bedding? I especially LOVE those sheets on the bed in the new guest room. Please if you would let me know where you got the sheets and what their name is, I would love to purchase a set of those. Thank you so much!! I just love your decorating style!!! Feel free to email me with the sheet info, thank you so much!!!

  120. I LOVE the room, especially the sconces. I too have a guest room with no space for a nightstand and the USB port built in is brilliant! Where did you get them?

  121. Love the new design…so fresh, light and inviting!

  122. Amazing makeover! I love the details on the window treatments. Guest room looks wonderfully relaxing and welcoming. Beautiful work, as always!

  123. Very Nice! However, I wish the hardwood floors were still exposed. Love hardwood.. The curtains blow me away. I’ve considered trying to make some but I the gathers at the top scared me off. 🙂

  124. Love the checked bedding and the carpet but wud prefer it in the older room. Good things in both designs!

    Where is the product list and where them????

  126. I loved the room before but this update leaves me speechless. I’m heading to vote now.

  127. Sandra Gumm says:

    As much as I like the after, I just adore the before! It is such as sweet room either way. I especially love the new sconces!

  128. lisa doyle says:

    What is NOT to love??? All beautiful but I cannot take my eyes off those curtains!

  129. The guest room makeover is so very beautiful. I especially love the smocked burlap curtains, the new chair, rug, and bedding! Can’t wait to see the resources.

    I loved the old guest room look, too! I would be happy with either one! I especially loved the iron bed.

    You have a wonderful talent for decorating!

  130. I love everything about your beautiful and cozy new guest room. It’s absolutely perfect. I think what really caught my eye was one of the smallest pieces – the little welcome sign. It says it all!

  131. I love it all and the new chair will make it cozier. Where did you get the smoked curtains?

  132. I love your smocked burlap drapes, perfection!

  133. Love it! I love neutrals…..so calming and peaceful, especially in a bedroom!

  134. Rhonda Pollack says:

    Love the burlap and white!

  135. darla coffman says:

    You have definitely a given talent for decorating. Your new guest bedroom is beautiful!! Its so peaceful and serene looking. Love your Greatful, Blessed, and Thankful plaque over the bed.

  136. I have been anxiously awaiting the guest room reveal. You have completely transformed the space, and I love every thoughtful detail you added. I truly appreciate your design style and have taken many of my decor tips from your blog. Thank you so much for sharing your home and inspiring myself and others on so many levels!

    P.S I absolutely love the curtains

  137. So beautiful and welcoming!

  138. Carol Anne Thompson says:

    Incredibly well done. Like everything you do.

  139. LOVE the curtains in both the before and after.
    Where did you purchase both from please.

    I decided that If I win one of the five certificates, i will use it on my son’s apartment bedroom makeover. He wants a more cozy bedroom with some warm color.

  140. GwenCondit says:

    Very lovely!!! It has personal touches like the birds yet the put together looks of the bedding. I agree with a comment above. We don’t have to keep things the same forever!! You are truly our inspiration that keeping our home looking nice is an expression of appreciation for what we have been given from the Lord. Your choices are tasteful and I know that you stick to your plan.

  141. Joan Pearson says:

    Love the makeover, especially the scones. Lucky guests!

  142. Nan Gaddy says:

    Well done! Fabulous room that is so inviting! Simplistic elegance! Love it!

  143. Wow! I love your guest room makeover! Great job!

  144. Beverly Nobrega says:

    LOVE the guest room. You are my go to gal for inspiration. What would you do with library paneling in the living room? Paint or just remove? I so wish you lived closer to me. 🙂 Thanks for all the ideas.

  145. I love the welcome sign also. Looking forward to the resources. Curtains are fabulous.

  146. Linda Charlton says:

    I love the gorgeous curtains and the calmness of the room.

  147. So fresh and inviting. Love the window panels!

  148. Carol Elkins says:

    Your guest room is beautiful!!! I can’t get over how different it looks. I love, love, love the curtains! I voted for your room because honestly, it’s the best one in the contest!

  149. Maya Williams says:

    Lovely room. It’s very welcoming and relaxing. It looks like a place I’d love to stay in.

  150. The room looks great! I’m voting for you on the contest and will be checking out Lee’s for our guest room since I’m currently on the hunt for a durable carpet that can stand up to the Alaskan adventures our friends and family have when they visit! 🙂

  151. Vicki N. Martin says:

    Love the carpet, curtains, thanks for the ideas. The room is so clean looking and relaxing.

  152. I loved the iron bed in your before shot!!! So much charm. Know the carpet co. Sponsored your make over, but all that beautiful hardwood covered up? Love the chair you ordered?

  153. Sylvia Hill says:

    Beautiful room. I love it!

  154. Love this, you have the touch to make it so warm and welcoming!! I want to be a guest 🙂

  155. Love the room! Those curtains are my favorite!

  156. Maggie Nelson says:

    You are good!! Love the changes and it looks so fresh and beautiful!

  157. So many items I’d LOVE to have in my guest room; I’m most appreciative of the varieties of textures. So many layers, yet you make it look effortless. 😉 Just beautiful!

  158. It’s always good to make a change so that we don’t tire of our home. The room was beautiful before but now appears more modern and updated. My favorite things are the sconces with the little birds (I love birds as decor) and the beautiful smocked draperies. However – and I’m sorry to post a dissenting however – I don’t feel that the fabric is right on the draperies for the “puddled” look. In my opinion, puddling requires a soft pliable fabric. Burlap is just too stiff to properly puddle and ends us just looking like it needs hemmed. Other than that, I love the update and your guests will appreciate it also.

  159. Love multiple things about this room makeover – the smocked curtains are fabulous; love the ticking bedding and neutral colors. Can’t believe you found the sconces, which are perfect for that space – what a find. I admit I like the ‘before ” bed better, but agree the new one is simpler…hopefully the old bed found its way to a little girls room somewhere!

    Question – is there a story behind the rabbit decorations?

    Looks like you have a lot of votes – hope you win!! ( And hope I win also

  160. What a beautiful guest bedroom!! I especially love the layered bedding. So warm and cozy. Everything is just perfect. You will have some very lucky guests.

  161. Pat Miller says:

    Yvonne,

    You have been an inspiration to me ever since I started reading your posts. I was just wondering if the burlap curtains were a little “harsh” for the rest of the decor. I know the design part about textures and stuff… Thinking I might need to spend a night in the room and ponder my feelings for it a little more…..

    Loved the “old” room, also!

  162. Love the new bedroom! The iron bed in the room before the makeover made me swoon. The colors in the new room are so soothing!

  163. Voted for the best makeover – yours!

  164. Love it all.
    Do the burlap curtains have a smell?

  165. The room is perfect! It’s warm, welcoming and comfy. That chair will be the perfect addition. And, those little sconces! You couldn’t have picked more perfect ones for that space. I love the bunny head, too. Did I miss where you bought him?
    You MUST win!

  166. Jacy Cole says:

    Beautiful Yvonne!! I live the space. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.

  167. Patricia Lawlor says:

    Love the makeover especially the wall lights. Happy that you are winning. Have a great day

  168. Avril Crundwell says:

    I absolutely love your attention to detail. How it all comes together so seamlessly. I love how high you hung your curtains. Beautiful indeed.

  169. Abosutely beautiful, when can I come for a visit??? You have excellent taste and designer ideas…love it

  170. I’m so glad that you got your “vote” button fixed so I could register my vote for this beautiful room. I, too, loved the old one, but this one is fabulous. My son and I have just built my new farmhouse and I am so stealing your ideas. I love the carpet and this is next on my list of purchases for the new house. Forget the guests – this is going in my master. I absolutely love the curtains as well. Where did you find them? I hate to say it, my I covet those curtains. Had to smile at the little bird. I have a collection of those little birds. They will fit right it.

    Can’t wait to see what you do next. I have a clean slate…

  171. Karen Gamble says:

    Beautiful! I have changed my style to clean, crisp not too much as well.
    My vote is for you!

  174. Laurie Orlando says:

    It’s so cozy and inviting – I want to come visit!!

  175. I love your guest room makeover and especially the wall sconces by the bed. I would love those in my master bedroom!

  176. Marcy Leonard says:

    The before was very pretty and inviting and was my own personal style sometime back—BUT the new brightness and airiness is divine! So much lightness, but without the glare. It is the drapes that I am over the moon about. Please publish your sources soon. And I can’t not mention the rabbit–love it!

  177. Very pleasing to the eye.

  178. Constance Colvin says:

    Yvonne! 🙂 I subscribe to a number of blogs……and I especially love yours! You have such beautiful, refined taste.

  202. Love the wall lamps, and table lamp too. The room is very cozy and inviting…when can I visit?

  203. When I look at this room all I see is the drapes. I would like my eye to roam from item to item.

  204. Nancy brasher says:

    Love the drapes

  205. Love the buffalo check, I think they are a classic and always be around. I loved the color sonnet, you used in some of your house. So I purchased a sample,it looks so much different than in your pretty home. I will have to keep looking, by the way I love your blog.

  206. Wow, love it all!! You have inspired me to use neutrals. Never thought I would love it so much. Thanks. Good luck with the vote, you are way ahead.

  215. OMGosh! Of course you are winning ~ hands down! Your room is a total makeover … TOTAL!
    Can I just say how much I want those curtains (from KariAnne, of course!) so badly I can taste it!
    Love it all: only you could make tucking the end-of-the-bed covers IN, a new decor “fashion statement” … !!!
    I could go on and on, but I won’t ~ this time! Hugs, dear lady, you’ve outdone yourself again!

  216. Laurie Carpenter says:

  220. I’m in love! I’d be more than happy to hang out in that room. Where did you find the bedding? It’s perfect!

  221. Annabelle says:

    I love what you did to a small room. It looks so inviting, cozy, and thoroughly restful.
    I am most interested in the rug….we have a Carpet One in our town and I’m going there to check this
    out in the next few days. I did like the drop leaf table in the old version, but I’m betting we will see
    it again in another rooms post….I hope so anyway.

  222. Bernadette says:

    So relaxing!! Love the bedding and the side lamps!!

  223. I simply love your guest room, especially the sconces. You are my stndard and I try to emulate your style, Thank you for keeping me imspired.

  224. Anxious for the source guide. Love the shocked curtains.

  225. mattsgramma says:

    The new wall color is so demure and I too love the smocked burlap curtains.

  226. I love the before AND after! Thanks to you, I’m slowly incorporating more neutral tones in my own home! p.s. You’re winning!

  227. What a change color alone can make. It turned out lovely.

  228. EVERYTHING about this room, I LOVE!!! I want to go upstairs right now and start in making my upstairs guest room look [somewhat] like this. So SO pretty, comfy and inviting.

  229. Pam Mowbray says:

    I saved this post for Saturday so that I would have time to sit and savor every nuance of this tiny space! It is precious! My husband and I made over our daughters former room this fall just in time for her and her husband to be surprised when they came to stay Christmas Eve. It was such fun! I call it my Home Goods room (for obvious reasons) and my son-in-law calls it the Princess Suite 😉 I voted for you and see that you have a comfortable lead!!!! Yea! I will keep voting until the 7th and hope to be as lucky 🙂

  230. Rebecca Musser says:

    Looking forward to seeing your source list for this lovely room!

  231. I love your beautiful guest room. I just realized that now that I know what your voice sounds like, I read the blog hearing your voice in my head.

  232. What a welcoming room. Love all the special touches, and all the hares/bunnies, in particular.

  233. You have my vote! This room is wonderful and any guest would be so blessed to spend time in there.
    I may have missed it, but where did you get those lights? They are a brilliant design, especially when you have limited room for end tables.

    Enjoy your new space!

  234. I’m a bunny person, love the one on the wall especially! Such a calm relaxing retreat for your guests, Beautiful!!

  235. Beautiful. I am addicted to this site and all your decorating ideas. I want to buy the curtains in white for our master bedroon

  236. Rosemarie Veliz says:

    May I ask a question? When you use a duvet as a cover what do you put inside it? This room is perfect and I think I found the source for the bedding. You did it perfectly…but.. is the checked duvet filled with anything. A blanket? You did a great job as usual.

  237. Wow! What a room, I wish I could stay there, it looks so warm and cozy and friendly, love the carpet too. Good Job!

  238. You’ve got my vote dear Yvonne

    Love it.

  239. The room is welcoming, light and airy. Love the new chair you are getting!

  240. I love your new guest room. It looks so inviting and the bed looks so comfortable. You thought of everything. I would love to know where you bought the bookcase and mirror.

  241. Karen Scott says:

    Just voted again and you are still ahead.

  242. I actually prefer the “old” version of this room. It was very welcoming, with it’s gorgeous wood floors and decor.

  243. Terri Melendez says:

    WOW love the entire room beautiful. I so WANT the curtains!

  244. Love the room! Hard to say what I loved the most; maybe the bedding and window treatments. Anxious for your resource posting! Beautiful as always1

  245. Such an exquisite room!! So simply attired but so functional and thought through. As a Guest, I would so love every part of this room!
    Blessings are filled in this room!

  246. Judi Johnson says:

    Itis a very beautiful room. What do you do with all the old stuff. Seems like a waste of money to totally replace everything when it was a beautiful room before. Loved that brass bed

  247. I love the new look and what about those curtains! ❤❤❤❤Any guest will feel comfy and welcome in this room. I also love the rabbits as I have a collection and am always on the lookout for unique ones.

  248. Lisa Matarazzo says:

    I love the before as well as the after. You have a beautiful home!I really love the new curtains.Thanks for sharing and all you do.

  249. Bonnie G. says:

    Stellar redo! I could nap there with no trouble. When I redecorated the master I hung the smocked curtains and my daughter says they remind her of her childhood dresses! I still love the curtains.

    Your room couldn’t be more perfect! God bless you for sharing your gift.

  250. Loved everything in this room. And PS I just made your blueberry muffin recipe and it is the best!! Do you think it could go into a small loaf pan or is it too dense to cook through. Thanks for all your recipes. I have made a lot of them.

  251. Cindy in Oklahoma says:

    Oh my goodness…. I admit I have been reading your blog here and there for quite some time and I thought the before was the after until I began scrolling. Both versions are so pretty. …..

  252. Dianne Lanier says:

    I see one distinct problem with this room – guests will never want to leave!!

  253. Beautiful makeover and love the sconces! Looking forward to the resource list coming soon!

  254. Karen VanLoo says:

    I have been under the weather and am just catching up on some of your blog posts – I absolutely LOVE this room! My favorite are the curtain panels, they’re beautiful!!! It’s so inviting, I love the neutral tones and the accents are just perfect.

  255. In love with the curtains!!

  256. Yvonne,
    You have such style, and every detail in the room is gorgeous!!

  257. Janet Jordan says:

    Love the re-decorated guest room. The smocked burlap curtains are great!

  258. Mildred Hoppe says:

    Especially like the little wall lamp.

  259. The wall scone with little shelf that you chose is great, especially with the addition of the sweet little bird.

  260. The curtains are my very favorite followed closely by everything else! Can’t wait to see that new chair! Stunning room!

  261. Julie Bresette says:

    Wow, I love those curtains!!

  262. I believe, as you do, that a guest room should be welcoming but clutter free. You’ve totally achieved that with your guest room make over! Thanks once again for the inspiration!

  263. Lovely room, can I come visit?!

  264. Your readers have all said it, better than I can. But it is just beautiful and perfect. I so admire your talent in decorating!

  265. Where did you get that little rabbit/bunny on the wall? Thank you. You are very talented!

  266. I love everything about this guest room Yvonne!! Your design in all your rooms is perfection and I look forward to the resources.

  267. Erica Thomas says:

    Love it. The neutrals in the room make it so cozy and inviting. You did it again.

  268. perfect room! all pulled together! I hope I get my rooms looking that good! thanks Yvvonne!

  269. Love how perfectly you blended the neutral colors in this room, Also, the smock topped burlap curtains you used are so unique. I often times think of burlap as a course and heavy fabric, However, these are really light and airy!

  270. Another beautiful post. I Love the curtains/drapes. Such a lovely room.

  271. Brenda Cosans says:

    Sorry I’m late to the game … just found your blog couple weeks ago but have been ill. Your whole house is simply beautiful. I ABSOLUTELY love this room. I am in love with “ticking” – especially brown/beige and haven’t been able to find bedding pre-made. I’m a thinker about sewing – not a doer so I will just have to admire yours from afar. Great job!!

  272. Debi Day Foley says:

    Love the bedding and curtains together. Looks very relaxing.

  273. Just beautiful, Yvonne. I think you attained exactly what you wanted!

  274. I !over the bedding and carpet choice. I feel the drapery, although lovely, overpowers the room and takes away from the beauty of the window and the location of the rods interrupts the window design. Also the dresser lamp is a bit too large. Otherwise the room is a great guest room.

  275. Beautiful guestroom. Where did you get the two flower pot stands from. Fab job on your gestroom design.

  276. Priscilla Connell says:

    There are several ideas in this room that I love! One is the duvet! Did you have instructions for making this?

    Thank you

  277. I would keep the drop leaf table. Your guest could pull up a chair to use a laptop while enjoying the view out the window.

  278. Deb McGinnis says:

    Beautiful room! Very inviting for guests! Where did you get your bedding g and curtains?

  279. I really like the light sconce with platform on each side of the bed. Can you share where you found it? They would be perfect for the small space in our bedroom.
    Thanks for sharing your wonderful home. You inspire me!!

    1. I am so sorry, they are no longer in stock. When I first shared them they sold out!

  280. Love your new spring pillows. Your home is so lovely.

  281. I love the new sconces you bought for your guest room makeover! Wondering where you found them!

    1. Oops I see they are sold out:(

      1. So sorry Julie! They sold out FAST! I think everyone liked them too!

  282. I look forward to opening every email from Stone Gable. Always inspiring and makes my day just a little more cheerful! Your home is so inviting and warm.

  283. Beautiful! I love the look of the neutral decor! I would love to stay in the guest room, so inviting. You have a beautiful house! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful decorating ideas.

  284. Yvonne, would you share where you purchased the sconces with the little attached platform? What a brilliant idea, and one which I would love to incorporate into my small guest room. Thank you so much!

    1. Hi Suzy! I found them on Wayfair. Unfortunately, they sold out. I’m hoping they get them in again because they are perfect for light and they even have a usb port for a phone!

  285. Barbara Loyd says:

    I love the smock-top draperies, but am very allergic to burlap. Do you know if they are available in other fabrics? Your posts/site are so informative.

  286. Lynnette Husted says:

    I have the essentials for my guest rooms, but need to work on the look! Yes! My closets are just as you described, and in need of work! Thank you for the beautiful ideas!
