House Update: Guest Bedroom

The second post in the series of our house, which is becoming our home.  In our last home, out guest bedroom consisted of Josh's old "oak" bed frame, night stand, and dresser. Before we moved, we sold the bed frame and night stand, but kept the dresser.  We had plans for it.  We found the mirror (and little mirror tray on the dresser) at the cute occasional store on the corner which inspired the look for this whole room.  This store is also where we found our hutch, but that is for another time :)

I found this bed frame at Ikea and spent months wanting it before finally taking the plunge.

 See this dresser? This is our old oak dresser!  I am totally kicking myself for not taking a"before"picture of this.  We painted it with white chalk paint and added the knobs.   It looked a little bit like this before (but a little lighter and without the texture):

Super cool in the 80's and 90's, but the new look is much improved for today!

This room is on the main level of our house.  All of the floors on the main level are the original hardwoods that have been refinished with a beautiful dark stain.  I love, love, love them.  It was one of the main things that sold me on the house.  One thing I have noticed is that they seem to scratch pretty easily.  I'm not sure if this is because of the color or if there is some sort of protective finish we need to put on them.

Future plans for this room involve a quilt made by me.  I have the fabric (sticking with the blue theme) and the sewing machine, but I need some help setting up my sewing machine for the first time.  Anyone who would like to help with this is welcome to come on over and take advantage of this extremely comfortable bed!  Hoping that cooler weather will bring a little more motivation for this.
