Last year, I wrote a post on my PLANS for the Basement Guest Room HERE.
Sadly, this plan was shoved for the a lot of other projects in and out of our home!
And because our current Upstairs Guest Room will be turned into our Nursery soon, and with my mom coming to help us out, we needed to fix our Basement Guest room FAST!
 |
| A futon is not the most relaxing bed for 3 month |
So this Labor day weekend, hubs, son and I started on improving this space!
BEHOLD...
 |
| I think this will be comfy enough for my mom for a while, don't you think? |
 |
| We had to cover this hole going to the crawl space |
My Dad made a wooden cover for this that would slide in and out but even with that ingenious cover, it was still an EYE SORE. So I thought of adding the curtains....
I added a Sisal Rug and got the Upholstered Headboard from WALMART months ago & it had been sitting in the box in storage for a while, bought the Mattress the same day we set up the room (taking advantage of Labor day sales ;-)) ,Then got the quilt set & Bed skirt from TARGET, all other things in the room including the makeshift side table are all ours.
We were pretty happy with the result but we're not done yet...
1) We need to add a small closet here on this narrow space beside our old TARGET armoire where a TV is in right now.
2) Fix up the is side of the room. The table is way too big and I have to do some arranging still.

I think my mother will be quite pleased with her room for the next couple of months. :-)
Have a Great Week!

Superb transformation Vel! I can't believe you got the headboard from Walmart!!
ReplyDeleteHi Vel, wow the transformation is amazing and you did a great job. You have such a way with interior decorating! Love it!
ReplyDeleteVel, your mother's room looks like a totally new room. Mercy, I'm thinking your mother will be thrilled to be with y'all anyway. Speaking as a grandmother, I know she will enjoy the room and her time with each of you. Beautiful selections for the problem areas. Love the curtain idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your mother is going to feel like a queen. The quilts and blankets look so luxurious. I don't know where that door leads...maybe a curtain with a full length mirror over (we need to check ourselves out!). You did a wonderful job! Now relax!
ReplyDeleteJane xxxx
Wow, Vel, it's gorgeous and she may stay longer than three weeks.
ReplyDeleteVel, this rooms look so beautiful and inviting. You did a great job! I am sure your mom would feel comfortable staying there, I know I would! As for the storm door, I would use the same curtain panels (like the one you bought from Home Goods) for cohesiveness. Another suggestion is using a folding screen (that is tall enough) to hide the door. Hope that helps!

Vel - GREAT JOB my friend! your mom will be lucky to have such stylish digs!! i love what you did!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation!! You did a wonderful job as it looks so luxurious! I love the warmth of all of the lamps!
ReplyDeleteWow, Vel, what a beautiful transformation. Your mom will be thrilled!!
ReplyDeleteI love it, what a fabulous makeover and so inviting. Your mom will love her space.
ReplyDeleteSipag na buntis, ah? Cozy guest room na. pede na bumisita, LoL *_*
ReplyDeleteLove your throws with gray/yellow prints and of course your cover. Seems Target have great things.
When is your nga pala, Kabayan? excited din ako. All newly mums, I know have baby girl. Pati nga granddaughter ko. 2 weeks old exactly.
Keep us posted.
HUGS to all.
Looks so pretty and cozy down there now! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I think the room looks really cozy, Vel. I really like the drape behind the bed -- it looks very intentional and not a cover-up solution. I think I would probably paint the storm door the same color as the walls and then it would kind of disappear. Maybe?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always, Vel...you have such a knack for making a room special. Your mom is a lucky lady to have such a fantastic place to stay. Plus she'll get to have precious time with the new baby! Jane
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I am sure your mom will love it. How awesome that she is coming for a nice long stay! What if you painted that door with chalkboard paint and made it a cool place where you could leave special art of messages for your guests, and they could do the same for you! It looks like the color of chalkboard paint would coordinate with your bedding. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing transformation. I love the colors. You really pulled it together. Your mother will be very comfortable there.
ReplyDeleteI love how you transformed this room, Vel! The idea of covering that eye sore with the drapes is genius! Your mom is going to love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great space! I'm sure your mother will be very comfortable there.
ReplyDeleteWow that came together beautifully! The bedding and the curtain behind looks great.I like Carol's idea of painting the door the same color.
ReplyDeleteI think your mom is going to love staying in your beautiful guest room.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Vel! I love everything, especially the drapes behind the bed. Absolutely gorgeous job!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your mom is going to love it there! What a wonderful idea with the curtains behind the bed. And I can't believe that gorgeous headboard is from Walmart! Score!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bedding and the curtain backdrop! You're a smart girl to make a wonderful, cozy room for your mom - hopefully she's stick around for a long time for help with your little one :)
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, that's a nice room!! I love the bedding and lamps!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous makeover. beautiful! Your mom is going to feel right at home, for sure! When is the baby due, Vel? I can't wait to meet her! :) Big hug, Maria
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation! Your mom will feel right at home. Did I read that right? You got that delicious headboard from Walmart! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThe best lady of the BEFORE and AFTER scenes, lol! I love how bueatiful your dear mama's room is looking! She's gonna feel very comfy sweetie! Can't wait to see you holding the baby Sophia in your arms!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FABBY
Such a stylish guest room, Vel! Your mom will be thrilled! A friend just showed me that upholstered headboard, it looks amazing, and that price, unbelievable!!
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot better than what I can do!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this post, Vel. I am so glad Marty featured it!! Congrats! The room looks fabulous. That is some transformation. I bet your mom is going to love it! I am laughing, because I am sitting in my den right now and looking at my lamp...with the exact same shade that you have! Great minds! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, this room looks fantastic! I'd love for you to come share it at Link It or Lump It Link Party this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, Vel! What an amazing transformation - can't believe you managed this while expecting a new little one! I would not have had the energy! Beautiful job - well done! Hugs, Catherine
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL job, she will LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Very inviting space now.
ReplyDeleteYou may want to place a big furniture piece, such as a tall and wide bookshelf, china cabinet or hutch, in front of the door.
Or you could buy two bi-fold doors and use hinges to attached them together and use it as a screen.
Wow, that headboard is from Walmart!! It looks so good in your room. You created such a nice space for your guests.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ideas and colors! As a grandmother myself, I would very much enjoy this room. However, because it is a storm door, you may not want to block access. What if you put an over the door hanging shelf unit. You could display some light weight items which will be special to your mom. Example: Your baby photos, shells, books, small mirrors, the prospects are endless. A small bench for her shoes or purse underneath. Another option: shelving unit on rollers so it could be moved easily in case of emergency.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite color combos and the room is beautfiul! It looks very cozy, congrats on a great transformation.
ReplyDeleteI find the drapes and headboard have gotten my attention. In fact, was the drapery panel recent?? What fabric is it?? They would be so great in our Master!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so great!! Thanks for sharing on Friday Favorites!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so inviting!
